With the death of Moammar Khadafy (in addition to Osama bin Laden’s recent demise) and word that the NATO operations in Libya will be coming to a successful close AND the fact that this victory came with a cost of only $2 Billion (as opposed to the roughly $900 Billion in Iraq and counting) AND the fact that not one American Life was lost, oh, AND the fact that this conflict has given the US a good reputation on foreign Policy in the world again AND the fact that the people in Libya are CHEERING our name instead of cursing it; perhaps the Republican Party can finally come together with President Obama to celebrate this indisputable Victory.
Ok, so nobody really believes that’s going to happen, right. Of Course not – in fact already the Republican Party has been hitting the News circuit congratulating NATO and France (yup – the Party that brought you Freedom Fries is congratulating FRANCE on their Victory but NOT OBAMA?!?!) while criticizing our President for “leading from behind” and “not being forceful enough” in his reaction to the Libyan uprising. Right, because I’m sure the Libyan People would still be cheering the US if we went stomping in there – Just like the people of Iraq. Yes, by the way, this is also the same Republican party that criticized him for going into Libya in the first place.
It should be obvious to anyone that actually pays attention, that the Republican Party is NOT Patriotic. Tanking our economy and destroying the Middle Class, and Filibustering (i.e. BLOCKING) any effort the President has made to actually fix it is bad enough - but The Republican cannot even acknowledge a GENUINE Victory by this President because they are so hatefully focused on getting him out of office.
