IF OBAMA SUPPORTS INTERVENTION TO STOP GENOCIDE, WHY DID HE OPPOSE THE LIBERATION OF IRAQ?
ASTUTE BLOGGERS
During tonight's "town hall" debate in Nashville, Senator Barack Obama opined that the United States should intervene militarily --even when our interests are not at stake-- for humanitarian reasons, such as to end genocide and ethnic cleansing. He said we had a moral interest in stopping mass killing in places such as Darfur, Somalia, and the Congo.
What a liar.
The Saddam Hussein regime was responsible for the genocide of hundreds of thousands of Kurds and Shi'ites, and had used chemical and biological warfare against the Kurds.
Toppling the Saddam Hussein regime required boots on the groud for less than three weeks, and fewer than 200 Americans were killed in battle during one of history's most brilliant and effective campaigns.
And that stopped Saddam Hussein's genocide cold.
Moreover, Saddam Hussein had drained the Iraqi marshes, an act of ecological terrorism almost without parallel in history, whose intention was the genocide of the "marsh Arabs."
But that intended genocide was stopped cold by America's intervention, and the marshes are well on their way to complete restoration.
Yet Obama continues to trumpet his ill-conceived and wrong-headed opinion that the war to liberate Iraq from the genocidal tyranny of Saddam Hussein was a mistake.
What makes you think that he and his fellow defeatists in the Democrat Party would be any more supportive of American military action anywhere else?
What a lying hypocrite.
Vote accordingly.
UPDATE: Wednesday 10:30 AM.
Added from my response to a comment from a reader:
I should add that military intervention is always more attractive to the Democrat Party whenever American vital interests are NOT at stake.
If military intervention might actually do something to help our Country and the American people, it is always suspect in the eyes of defeatist Democrats.
But military action that will do nothing to advance American interests is automatically more attractive to them. If there is no chance that military action will actually help America, the Democrats actually like it better.
Since at heart, they are opposed to American interests. They have become anti-American globalists who see the United States as the problem rather than the solution.
