"Let it go"? But thats why the gov't said they couldn't go in and get them. I'm not gonna let go of the reason we were told that our fellow citizens are stuck in a nation whose tyrannical dictator is bombing citizens.
The State Dept and DOD don't give that order, the Commander in Chief does. Meaning Obama.
Then why is it that every other nation, like China, has already rescued it's people, while ours are sitting on a ferry boat in a port? Is our military not capable of getting to them? Or will their commander not order it?
And exactly when is the situation dire enough? What about when a known terrorist dictator starts to order his jets to bomb people in the streets? Not dire enough?
Yet our people still sit in that port. And our Navy, Marines and Coast Guard still wait on their ships. Waiting to hear orders from the Commander in Chief.
Tick tock tick tock tick tock.
Obama trashed Mubarak in public. But won't mention Gadhafi. Gadhafi's frienship with Obama's close friends, Rev. Wright and Farrahkan, is noteworthy.
Any other logical explanation why?
"The ordeal of hundreds of American and other foreign evacuees stuck on a ferry in a Libyan port for three days finally ended when the ship put to sea, heaving for the island of Malta.
The Maria Dolores left Tripoli's As-shahab port Friday at 1.37 p.m. local time (6:37 a.m. ET) to make the journey to Valetta, Malta.
The State Department initially said the vessel was carrying 285 evacuees including 167 U.S. citizens and 118 people of other nationalities. But it said Friday that more passengers were added before departure."
Here endeth the thread. Move on and shut up
Yes, "Shut up". Thats the message to us all, right? Just ignore Obama's refusal to rescue those people with our military. Ignore Obama's ties to Gadhafi. Ignore his close ties to Farrahkan.
So when all the Katrina survivors were rescued......should the discussion regarding Bush's response have also ended? HELL NO!
Thus, this doesn't either. Why did Obama wait so long to respond to Gadhafi, and even then doing so lightly? And why did we risk these citizens while our military could've easily rescued them?
Our State Dept said it was unstable and unpredictable: Bad weather stalls US evacuation from Libya - Yahoo! News
So why did we risk it, when a sure rescue via the military was available for days?
Only the Commander in Chief can answer that. Unfortunatley, he won't.
Guess we all just need to "shut up" right?
At this very moment, there are American embassies and governement offices all over the world that are in unstable and unpredictable places. Hindsight is 20/20.
Do you think that Obama was really going to leave American citizens in that kind of danger where military forces are needed and then not send them due to some percieved friendship with a terrorist leader?
and BTW Farakhan and Wright are non-factors in any way shape or form right now, so who gives a shit. There are no ties. There are no relationships. There are no reasons that it is even a matter of any significance to anyone except paranoid misfits like you.
and yes, please shut up
