"EVIDENCE IS now in that President Barack Obama grossly exaggerated the humanitarian threat to justify military action in Libya. The president claimed that intervention was necessary to prevent a “bloodbath’’ in Benghazi, Libya’s second-largest city and last rebel stronghold.
But Human Rights Watch has released data on Misurata, the next-biggest city in Libya and scene of protracted fighting, revealing that Moammar Khadafy is not deliberately massacring civilians but rather narrowly targeting the armed rebels who fight against his government.
Misurata’s population is roughly 400,000. In nearly two months of war, only 257 people — including combatants — have died there. Of the 949 wounded, only 22 — less than 3 percent — are women. If Khadafy were indiscriminately targeting civilians, women would comprise about half the casualties."

That's slander DV! The president of the United States would never lie or exaggerate anything to go to war!
DV,
Are we holding Barack Obama to an unrealistic standard for a politician? I mean, after all, this is politics, not religion, and it's not like Kadafi's never ordered a killing.
"unrealistic ... standard"
Asking a President of the United States NOT to lie, fabricate and exaggerate circumstances to justify an illegal and deadly war that kills innocents, enriches international bankers and ultimately endangers the lives of American men women and children ... is an 'unrealistic standard'?
Damn.
Muhfuggas got some low ass standards.
Shit.
Nixon got impeached for authorizing a break in at a hotel room.
Barack Obama violated the US Constitution by using the US Armed Forces to invade a nation without the consent of the American people via Congress.
The man is a puppet whose soul has been bought and paid for.
Khaddafi has not killed a fraction as many people as has Barack Obama.
He's never sent an "unmanned drone" anywhere.
He did not invade. He led a coalition of nations into a conflict in another country. The US does not occupy Libya and no longer leads the coaltion trying to stabilize Libya.
Unless you have some sort of intel nobody else does.

... ?
... ?
... What the fuck?
He "led" a coalition of countries?
Bra. You've got to cut off the TV and get out of the Kool-Aid line.
You have succumbed to the powerful brainwashing technique of Mass Media Double Talk.
Obama is showering Libya with Tomahawk missiles and funding the "mercenaries" / "rebels" / "traitors".
Obama CREATED the conflict.
Come on bruh.
Too easily fooled.
