Is Obama Pushing for War in Libya?: Tells Gadhafi to Leave Libya Now

One has to wonder if the rhetoric Barack Obama uses against Colonel Moammar Gadhafi is a hint he is willing to go to war. Obama is issuing a warning to Gadhafi, leave Libya now.

Or what?

I guess that's the real question. Will the United States attack another oil rich country and begin another endless war? It's a real possibility. You have to wonder what are the consequences if Gadhafi doesn't leave? When you make a statement like this, there has to be something that backs it up, right?

Obama made the comments to German Chancellor Angela Merkel in a private telephone conversation Saturday as they discussed the violence in Libya. The White House says Obama told Merkel that when a leader’s only means of holding power is to use violence against his people, then he has lost the legitimacy to rule and needs to do what’s right for his country by “leaving now.”

Now, remember, Obama is more of a hawk than his supporters would have you believe. Since he took office, US deaths on the battlefield have risen. As well, Obama promised in October 2007, the first thing he would do as president is end the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. However, he has escalated those wars.



Now we look at the very real possibility of a war in Northern Africa. Do we really want Obama and his cronies leading us in a new occupation?
