He is right. We definitely have a pattern here. Same thing happened in Iran as we watched protesters on the street shot dead.

RealClearPolitics - Video - Krauthammer: Obama "Not A Friend" To US Allies

Quote:
"If you are ally of the United States, Israel, Egypt, Honduras, elsewhere; Obama is not a friend. If you are an enemy of the United States he might give you a pass," columnist Dr. Charles Krauthammer said on FOX News' "Special Report."

Quote:
Dozens of anti-Gaddafi protesters gathered outside the White House chanting "White House where are you? Libya now needs you."
Surely obama could speak up like he did in Egypt? Oh, that's right! He was throwing a 30 year ally under the bus in Egypt.

Maybe President Obama realized that tyrants may be our clients but they are and were never our friends. By standing back and watching, not that we could actually do anything, we are letting the conservative "Forces of Freedom" actually work. Our support of nearly every tyrannical dictator that would aid international petroleum’s control of oil has actually damaged our standing in the world of educated young folks that have seen what we have and also seen the we are preventing them from obtaining the same freedom.
My only objection to our current policy is our not offering all of these dictatorial creeps asylum. I hear we have some fine dwellings available at GITMO.

That is what I want to know
thousands of people are being murdered house to house and Obama does not say one flipping word!!
While the blood runs in the streets all Obama comments on is his pal wining an election,
I am so over this total hack I can not stand to hear his voice any longer!
OBAMA, open your fat mouth and take a stand with the people of Libya!!
You are the worse form of coward

and what exactly do you think Obama's comments will do if he did speak? The Egyptian people are going through a revolution so unless you want to get militarly involved all he can do is condemn the actions of Quaddafi, otherwise do you want another Nicaraugua on your hands? Dubya already screwed us with Iraq.

He really hasn't done even that, has he?

Remember how forceful he was on Egypt?

Libya is about as socialist as North Korea is democratic.

Same went for the Soviet Union and Cuba

By the way, you do know Libya's economy is state controlled like Cuba's?

The world is going up in flames around Barack Hussein and all he can do is hide under his desk and take phone calls from his rib-eating wife in Vale. More "dithering" while Rome burns.
