Sen. Lindsey Graham a good example of why the GOP is an embarrassment. It would take so little to be better than democrats but they won't do it

.
US taxpayers shouldn't have been forced to transfer $2 billion or even a penny to Libya. We don't have the money and have no business in such a hell hole unless it's to commit suicide like we've been doing in Afghanistan. Lindsey Graham doesn't mind that, now wants to rake in business deals there.

10/20/11, "Lindsey Graham: ‘Let’s Get In On The Ground. There’s A Lot Of Money To Be Made In The Future Of Libya’," Think Progress, Eli Clifton

Appearing on Fox News, Senator Lindsey Graham said:

""Let’s get in on the ground. There is a lot of money to be made in the future in Libya. Lot of oil to be produced. Let’s get on the ground and help the Libyan people establish a democracy and a functioning economy based on free market principles.""...

Joe Biden: ""In this case America spent two billion dollars total and didn't lose a single life. This is more the prescription for how to deal with the world as we go forward than it has been in the past," Biden said.
  • "So this is an example of how the world is beginning to work together a little bit better."" (last parag.)

------------------------

Blacks have been fleeing Libya due to longtime ethnic cleansing. Some are being caught, brutalized, and prevented from leaving. Even if they make it out of Libya they're starving, penniless refugees, thanks to Obama. African blacks have been chased by both Gaddafi and 'rebels'-everyone in Libya hates blacks. Estimated US taxpayer contribution to this ranges from $100 to $300 million dollars a week (item near end of article) for Islamic killers to run a holocaust.

9/24/11, "NATO powers indifferent to Libyan refugees," Modern Ghana, Bill Van Auken

"The same NATO countries that have waged war on Libya in the name of “protecting civilians” have given “an abysmal response to the plight” of refugees during this conflict,

  • Amnesty International charged in a report released Tuesday."...

The R2P/UN doctrine is carried out by Obama and the GOP.

4/5/11, " Obama goes to war, the US left goes awol," UK Guardian, Clancy Sigal

"Once again, liberals have bought into American power as a force for good. But it's just another ugly, expensive war we now own"

"Liberal hawks never seem to learn that you can't get healthcare, decent schools and less unemployment by bombing smaller nations. Military adventures trump domestic rehab every time."...

The report underscores the hypocrisy of the claims made by Washington, London and Paris that the war they waged to overthrow the Gaddafi regime in Libya was motivated by a concern to “protect civilians.” The hostility and indifference toward the refugees squeezed out of the country by NATO bombardments and racist violence is emblematic of an imperialist war that has used “humanitarianism” as a pretext for the conquest of an oil-rich North African country."

3/25/11, "Mark Steyn: Do-gooders in a land with no good guys," Orange County Register
"It is tempting and certainly very easy to point out that Obama's war (or Obama's "kinetic military action," or "time-limited, scope-limited military action," or whatever the latest ever more preposterous evasion is) is at odds with everything candidate Obama said about U.S. military action before his election. And certainly every attempt the president makes to explain his Libyan adventure is either cringe-makingly stupid ("I'm accustomed to this contradiction of being both a commander-in-chief but also somebody who aspires to peace") or alarmingly revealing
  • of a very peculiar worldview:

"That's why building this international coalition has been so important," he said the other day.

  • "It is our military that is being volunteered by others to carry out missions

that are important not only to us, but are important internationally."

That's great news. Who doesn't enjoy volunteering other people?"...

7/7/11, "House vote lets Obama continue U.S. Libya deployment," Washington Times, Stephen Dinan

"The House on Thursday gave implicit approval to President Obama to continue his deployment of American military forces to support the NATO mission in Libya, turning back repeated efforts to end U.S. involvement."...
