I said in my last post that I knew that we had Libya targeted, and I was wondering what we were waiting for? Of course I knew the answer was that the girls that run our foreign policy were waiting for permission from the UN. Meanwhile, the fighters for democracy were being massacred by Qaddafi forces with their aircraft and heavy weapons. The U.S. finally said they got the permission that they were looking for and fired about one hundred cruise missiles that took out most of Libya’s air defenses. It happen the same day that I published that last post.<\/p>\n
I also implied in that post that the month-long delay of going through the UN to get their permission made it too late for the rebels to remove Qaddafi. I said that there would now either have to be an invasion of Libya by a foreign army, or that Qaddafi would remain in power under some form of compromise cease-fire deal.<\/p>\n
This air attack was done at the demand of France. Obama has already stated that after taking the lead to take out the air threat the United States would not be taking the lead role anymore in this police action. Fine, so let Frenchmen do it!<\/strong> It is their turn to fight for something. America is in enough wars and Great Britain has also fought in wars with us, they also had their own war in the Falklands. Yet, what have the French done in modern times to fight for anything that they claim to believe in?<\/p>\n This near pacifism in France started before the Second World War when\u00a0 parents and schools taught French children not to fight school yard bullies. Since then, most of\u00a0 the French have fought for nothing. It is well-known that the French just let the Nazis walk over them almost unopposed in World War II<\/p>\n France is a nation that is also a nuclear power. For a long time they thought that with their nuclear weapons that they did not need to join NATO. Or more likely, they thought they could keep out of any NATO war with the USSR. America, Great Britain and Russia had to free France from the Germans and America helped rebuild their country after the war, but ever since the Second World War all the thanks that America ever got from the French was political and verbal opposition to every military action that America ever took. They made Jane Fonda look good.<\/p>\n So I think now we should make North Africa their own baby. Let’s see if the great power called France will go into a divided nation of only seven million people and remove their military dictatorship. Surely a great nuclear power like France can pull that minor military action off? Right? Right?<\/p>\n France now its your time to step up. This is your war and we won’t even bad mouth you when you send your troops in. It is no secret that Sarkozy demanded this military action. So, France needs to take the responsibility for seeing that Qaddafi and his military dictatorship are removed from Libya. You wanted military action so we are donating the police action to you. There are four French-speaking nations around Libya and if Qaddafi gets Libya under control, and if he gets the mind (if he has one), he might just invade one or more of those French-speaking nations in retaliation. So either remove him or risk the consequences. It is time for Frenchmen to man up<\/p>\n I am sure the call to action by France had some to do with legitimate concern for those fighting for freedom (or is it Islam). Or perhaps, did it really have more to do with the fact that President Nicolas Sarkozy has become really unpopular in France and he will not get reelected unless he gains stature (no pun intended). After all, there are a lot of Muslims in France that vote. In fact, according to the poles if Sarkozy does not have a major revival the French people will have the wonderful choice to vote for an aging Jewish socialist or the far right daughter of an unrepentant Nazi.<\/p>\n Well, if it is really about stopping people from getting slaughtered how come France and the West is turning a blind eye to the slaughter that is going on in other nations in the Middle East. Oh. They are friends. Friends, only because they sell us oil at ridiculous prices. Why do friends use extortion and export terrorists and terrorist doctrine to the West?<\/p>\n So, President Sarkozy, for the sake of France you better get that little man syndrome into high gear and man up and lead the invasion of Libya. Your job is at stake and we really need to see if Frenchmen can actually fight for what they believe in. I mean, if you can’t, then why keep the French in NATO at all?<\/p>\n Even so, I see accommodations are already being set up to leave Qaddafi in power. I guess the French way, or should I say the politically correct way, that the world now get tyrants out of power is by sanctions so that the common people suffer and rebel. However, when they rebel, they will get no outside help from the West, so they end up getting slaughtered by the tyrants?? Now the powers that be, are already making statements like, Qaddafi is not our target. All they want is a cease-fire.<\/p>\n So if the UN gets its way the tyrants and their anointed elite remain in power. Fine examples of this policy are North Korea and Iran. Even Saddam would\u00a0 be in control of much of the oil fields of the Middle East if America did not send troops against him twice (to the disdain of the French). Now probably Qaddafi will join the untouchables unless France really does send in troupes to get him out of power. Ha ha ha.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, all the tyrants in the world are screaming their fool heads off because we dared attack one of their own species. Let them scream, bullies will not mess with those that will not take any of their crap. Now, if we can only get Frenchmen to fight, maybe America might be able to pull our armed forces out of Europe after over 65 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I said in my last post that I knew that we had Libya targeted, and I was wondering what we were waiting for?
