How naive is President Obama?
How naive is President Obama?During his embrace conference today, President Obama tried browbeating Congress into supporting his intervention in Libya. Alone from his legal justification for keeping US troops confused, which struck me as flimsy, Obama cited Qaddafi’s despotic regime and his behavior and support for terrorism as reasons the US should serve “the Libyan people.” He went on to cite his own calls for Qaddafi to have down and urged Congress to send a unified communication so that Qaddafi would do so. That brings me to the headline questioning how naive the president is. He seems to undeniably think that a very half-hearted NATO non-war by body plus the power of his own voice will be sufficient to lock up a dictator, who Obama admits is a ruthless nature, from his throne.
Problem: That only works with our allies who come off to be dictators. Dictators who hate us tend not to mind to us.
And for a bonus: Everything Obama says about Qaddafi was unswerving of Saddam Hussein, ten times over, but Obama opposed the war to oust him. And he still isn’t doing a fixation to oust Syria’s Assad, who is more of a daunt to the region and the world, and to his own people, than Qaddafi has been for years. This flagrant double standard badly undermines Obama’s determine on Libya, but he doesn’t seem to see it. Or he doesn’t about we do. Or he just doesn’t care.
