When WORDS mean NOTHING - President Obama and Libya

President Obama’s National Security Team has discussed the crisis in Libya, the White House statement states the following, “ …the President and his national security team reviewed the situation in Libya and options to increase pressure on Gaddafi. In particular, the conversation focused on efforts at the United Nations and potential UN Security Council actions, as well as ongoing consultations with Arab and European partners. The President instructed his team to continue to fully engage in the discussions at the United Nations, NATO and with partners and organizations in the region. ” In the Obama Administration we are seeing another Jimmy Carter, the lack of real military response to the violence does recall the miserable period of the Carter years. In President Obama we see a President who thinks that the US is a yesterday Superpower. That can be the only reason that POTUS has not take action, in this case we can look at a previous President and his action towards Libya, in this case its Ronald Reagan, when Libya was found to have supported terrorism that effected the US, Reagan sent in the airplanes to hit Gaddafi hard, it did the trick for a while, the only mistake that Reagan made was not to send in a second wave of planes to take Gaddafi out. It says something that the leaders for a new tough UN resolution against Libya is the UK and France, old Europe is seeking back its Crown, while the US is looking at its post imperial decline in many respects, a weak leader in President Obama, a War in Afghanistan that can never be won, a debt of 14 trillion. The question is will the US find another Reagan or will President Obama get re-elected in 2012.
