If you recall, Leftists (and then Demorats, later, when short memories had faded) said that GW Bush, 43rd president, went into Iraq for oil. The possibility that he was proffered faulty intelligence from a large number of domestic and foreign sources — then was supported by the US Congress — had little influence on Leftist opinion. Cogent information indicates whatever WMD Mr Hussein possessed moved into Syria. Purposely. Hussein made the threat in order to appear larger than life on screen, then took the step to transfer it from his soil.
Oddly enough, it seems that a far-Left Demorat president, Mr Obama, is treading upon the same identical steps as President Bush with one major difference: Bush didn’t do it for oil. The United States of America gets less oil from Iraq than before 9/11 — contrary to Leftists arguments.
And yet, Mr Obama — the prototypical “anti-war” president — has unilaterally decided to move into Libya under the guise of the UN. He simultaneously attempts to push sole-source code onto the UN but they defer to his move.
Does Libya directly threaten the United States? No. Does Libya even allegedly possess WMD devices and schemes? No. Further, in fact: Libya, during the term of Bush, unilaterally decided it would disarm itself of perceived WMD physicants precisely because it feared, at the time, the GW Bush 43 Focus.
Imagine that.
Senator Obama would NOT have voted or subscribed to the current Mr Obama’s movement into Libya. Does anyone, possibly besides myself, find that just a bit odd and dessicant?
Bueller?
Why Libya? Could it possibly be because of: Brent sweet crude?
Further: why not the US into Tunisia, into Syria, into Yemen, into Egypt, into Jordan, into Oman, into Kuwait, into the EAE, into Qatar, into Lebanon, into Sudan, into Eritrea, into Bahrain?
What makes Libya so special? I ask.
I submit: current OIL production.
And yet former Republican administrations were completely excoriated for this perception. Burned right to the very ground.
Go Obama. Make things right. Make drilling a priority. Make this a Logical Extension of your current policy.
But you won’t.
You hypocritical and ignorant, callow patsy.
And oh yeah: Trump asks for your certificate. He’s got his. You got yours?

For Oil? yes, for European oil. Obama wouldn’t go to war for OUR oil supply, hell no, but he will go for France’s.
and just how sad is it that a blowhard like Trump would actually be a better president than what we have now?
Mark, you make an excellent point, witness: Brazil.

Obama better watch the hell out, when I get done with our Mayor, I am heading for the BIG TIME, and Obama has NEXT written all over him…
Obama is obviously attempting to bring down the most successful country in the history of the world. In only two years he has caused major chaos and seems intent on bankrupting the country.
Obama would have shot this down if it were President Bush making the decisions.
Honestly, this guy has not kept one of his promises he made while running for office and in actuality he is doing the opposite of everything he claimed to abhor.
He’s deceitful.
I wish somebody would go to war for oil, for once, one of the things that pisses me off most about the Iraq War was that we didn’t get any of it, so far as I know. We should do just what Trump said tonight on O’Reilly, take what we need to at least pay off our expenses in the war.
As for Obama and Libya, he’s probably going to war for oil all right, only he just doesn’t know it, and even worse, its oil for Europe, and not a dime’s worth for us.
