Obama’s Worst War Crime?

March 19th marked the 5th anniversary of the first African-American President unilaterally, and without provocation, ordering the U.S. “Shock and Awe” bombing the crap out of his African brothers and sisters in the sovereign North African nation of Libya. Not only that, he did so without even bothering to go to Congress and, at least, lie to them like his predecessor President George W. Bush did with his own “Shock and Awe” bombing of Iraq 8 years earlier. Just a few days after the bombing of Libya I spoke about it with Joyce Riley, host of the popular nationally syndicated radio show The Power Hour. See here.

The horrific destruction and loss of life and order in Libya over the 5 years since Obama’s “Shock and Awe”, along with the exporting of its growing destabilizing violence to Syria and Iraq, is pretty clear. However, we also need to recognize … and more importantly, learn the lesson from … how the “anti-war” organizations’ refusal to call for President’s Obama’s impeachment following his blatantly illegal March 19, 2011, bombing of Libya has allowed for Obama to do the same with Syria and Iraq again with even less resistance and with total impunity to the point of risking World War III.I can’t help but think of all the Gold Star Mothers, and mothers “over there”, who have been added to the ranks since our Central Florida chapter of Veterans For Peace’s first call for impeachment of the Democrat War Criminal Obama following the publication of former CFVFP member Tom Santoni’s “IMPEACH OBAMA!” article written February 2, 2009 in response to President Obama’s unilateral, illegal … and without provocation … deadly drone-bombing of unsuspecting targets in Pakistan. I can’t help but wonder if the “antiwar” movement had put adherence to principle above loyalty to political party and ideology and joined our legitimate call for impeaching President Obama at that time, would the widespread practice … and to a troubling extent, acceptance … of drone bombing anyone, anywhere and at anytime simply because the President of the United States or one of his underlings says so be what it is today.

The harm is done by the stubborn partisanship of the “anti-war” left … both in the death and destruction abroad and in the neutralizing of the “power of the people” here at home, in particular, the people’s constitutional remedy of impeachment … needs to be acknowledged and widely discussed.
