Libya and the Obama cult

by Justin Raimondo

04/01/11

The US and its allies are fighting a religious war, not in the sense of the Christian crusaderism of the previous administration, but because only religious authorities have previously claimed such overweening moral authority. The clueless pawns who imagine themselves 'leaders' of the conservative movement are so busy conjuring far-fetched visions of Sharia law taking over America, that they?re caught flat-footed when the real holier-than-thou warriors take up arms in the name of the 'responsibility to protect'...

03/30/11

How many times do we have to arm one side of a civil war -- only for that side to then become our Enemy five or ten or fifteen years later -- before we learn not to do that any more? I wrote earlier on Twitter, ironically, that one good outcome from arming the Libyan rebels is that it will lay the foundation for our new war 10 years from now -- when Commander-in-Chief George Prescott Bush or Chelsea Clinton announce that we must wage war to stop the Libyan faction from threatening its neighbors and supporting Terrorism (with the weapons we provided them back in 2011)...
