Oh yeah, the reason for the invasion into Libya was to prevent a possible, future act of genocide by Gaddafi, a genocide that never happened. Is that the flip-flop you are talking about?
First of all, NOBODY invaded Libya.
Secondly, one can't complain about the absence of a genocide when genocide doesn't occur because one steps in to prevent it in the first place.
I thought i'd share a picture I took on a recent trip to London.
I'd like to see the people in Syria live free from tyranny, but I'm afraid that like every other country in the mid East, (okay actually Western Asia), they will become an Islamic state, where there is no freedom. Either the people in Syria can free themselves on their own, or they live under a new form of tyranny. I sure as hell am not going to agree to spilling any blood over them.

Did we, or did we not cross into their airspace and blow the living hell out of the Libyan military?
So you can just announce "genocide might happen in the future" to justify going to war, and after the multitudes of dead bodies are counted, you can hold your head high and claim to have prevented a genocide that never occurred?
So let me get this straight, and invasion means you have to hear the pitter-patter of boots on the ground, or it's not an "invasion", even if your airspace was invaded and missiles and aircraft blew the hell out of your country, and genocide can be said to have existed, even if it never occurred.
It seems to me that any government in the Mid East that is the least bit secular, 0bama is all in favor of seeing the leader removed from power. We saw in in Libya and Egypt, now we are seeing it in Syria. When 0bama had the chance to try and help the people overthrow a theocracy in Iran, he told the people to trust in their president.
Link please. Obama told the people to trust in who?
