Obama’s Carter Moment?
I just heard that the charter plane(s) sent to evacuate Americans from Libya was refused permission to land at the Tripoli Airport. If this is true, Obama must take some kind of action to insure that Americans are protected in Libya. We cannot have Americans held as hostage in Libya.
Oh damn! 😯
After what happened to the US hostages aboard The Quest, I tend to agree. Something needs to be done.
What? Like send Soldiers into another country? hmmm…and then he’d have people claiming he’s “nation building.”???
Let me get this right…we should use our Military to free our citizens if they are oppressed…but the hell with anyone else that is oppressed under an evil dictator?
President Obama will do nothing…he is using the Jimmy Carter play book…which means he’ll use quiet talk and sincerity while looking in the camera…and behind closed doors he’ll sit on his hands and do nothing.
It’s all part of that three part Democratic Defense Plan…
Step one…….RUN
Step two…….HIDE
Step three…..WAVE THE WHITE FLAG
Good luck…
Why would an American want to be in Libya anyway?
Gosh I’m so late with following up the news. Of course foreign nationals should be protected. Not sure why the American plane wasn’t allowed to land… it’s against international agreements, I’d think.
You boys fight so much I lose track.
At least the US govt sent a plane for its citizens, which is more than the UK govt has done. They chose instead to send a warship – yes a warship! How subtle – my guess is Gaddafi will be very pleased to see it. Hundreds of UK folks are stranded in Libya, many of them in the desert, and so far they have just been ignored by our very weak foreign minister
It appears that we have opted to charter ferries to take them to Malta. A very slow process.
As of today, the weather has not allowed the ferries to leave yet. Another attempt to use chartered planes is being made tomorrow.
