US President Barak Obama started a War with Libya on Sunday March 19, 2011.
Libyan media reported that 48 people were killed; “mostly children” and three times that many were injured. Associated Press reports that during rescue of the downed fighter pilots, a US aircraft fired on and severely injured 6 Libyan civilians assisting the pilots.
Afghanistan Irony:President Obama sent 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan just a week before he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009.
Pakistan Secret Cowardly War: President Obama has engaged in a secret war in Pakistan that is publicly opposed by the Pakistan government. Obama is using the cowardly un-manned drones firing bombs and missiles that are controlled from thousands of miles away at Nevada’s Nellis Air Force Base.
While I understand there are legitimate reasons for a country to engage in war, all those reasons are for defensive purposes.
I am appalled that Libyan government is using extreme violence against civilians. Nevertheless — as retired US General Wesley Clark advised just days before the US Invasion of Libya “Libya doesn’t meet the test for U.S. military action.”
In sharp contradiction to all those time-honored reasons President Obama has acted as a war aggressor in Afghanistan, Pakistan and now Libya.
While I and many tens of millions of others around the world were relieved to have President Bush’s term finish, I may have been temporarily blinded to the fact that President Obama believes aggressive, invasive, non-defensive War is legitimate.
Electing Obama was is just “Trading One War Monger for Another” – Tim Gatto
I urge the Norwegian Nobel Committee revoke Obama’s Peace Prize.
In fact Obama has even publicly acknowledged that he felt he did not deserve the award.
It is time to have the award returned so it does not dishonor those who legitimately deserved that accolade. For example: Martin Luther King Jr. (1964), Poland’s Wałęsa (1983), UN Peacekeeping Forces (1988), International Committee of the Red Cross (1917), Tibet’s Dalai Lama (1989) and South Africa’s Nelson Mandela and de Klerk (1993).
