Why isn't President Obama calling for Muammar Gaddafi to step down ?
Mubarak was a boy scout compared to this monster. He has a long history of state sponsored terrorism . His murderous deeds include the Lockerbie Pan Am bombing, UTA flight 772, the Berlin disco bombing . He allowed terrorist groups of all types including Palestinian ,Irish ,Italian,and Spanish to train in bases in Libya.
He has so far been the most brutal dictator in cracking down on the protesters in the Ummah. There are reports of hundreds killed ,Tanks and RPG's being used on them... snipers perched in helicopters shooting at demonstrators and mourners at funerals. There are reports of massacres in Benghazi.
He has plundered his nations oil wealth .
The press has been barred from reporting from Libya . Most of the news coming out has been smuggled out of the country.
The President's lame statement of being “deeply concerned” about “reports of violence in Bahrain, Libya and Yemen” is a far cry from his calls for Mubarak to step down in Egypt.
There are now reports of military units opposed and loyal to Gaddafi battling each other in what appears to be decending into a civil war. There are also reports that Gaddafi is planning on bugging out and going into exile in Venezuela. Gaddafi and Chavez... perfect together.
His son has vowed to fight to the last bullet... which is not the language of someone winning .
But I do have to question the inconsistent policy of the Obama White House. They did not give support to the Iranian protesters last year as the Mahdi-hatter's goons gunned them down ,and he evidently is not taking a stand against Gaddafi. Was Mubarak the exception ? And if he is ;what did he do to piss off Obama ?
