hundreds are estimated to have been massacred (over and above the 350 shot dead in the last three days) and thousands injured. Denied medical attention, they are left in the streets to die. ...The incumbent president's killing fields extend not to one but to a score of Syrian cities with unimaginable consequences. And yet no Western power is rushing to help the pro-democracy protesters of Syria who are dying in their hundreds day by day. And the verbal condemnations coming from Washington and European capitals are soon buried under layers of inaction. So where are the 3 hags (Samantha Power, Hillary, Susan Rice) with their justification for getting us involved in Libya? Hillary calls Assad a reformer. Shooting hundreds of citizens, perhaps thousands, is the the proper way to reform? What makes Assad immune when G-Daffy isn't? Why do the Libyan protesters deserve our intervention but the Syrians don't? From Wiki: Samantha Power is considered to be the key figure within the Obama administration in persuading the president to intervene militarily in Libya. Power argues that America has a moral obligation to intervene, if necessarily militarily, in order to prevent genocides.[29] Within the White House, Power strongly pressed for U.S. intervention on humanitarian grounds. She has been described as instrumental in convincing Obama to push for a UN Security Council resolution to authorize a coalition military force to protect Libyan civilians
