From Rasmussen:
…A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 26% of Likely U.S. Voters feel the United States should continue its military actions in Libya. Forty-two percent (42%) are opposed and 32% are undecided…
This is the result of not going through normal procedures for a war – it is the result of having NATO and the UN decide if we will fight, rather than having Americans decide, for themselves, if war is the answer. The war in Libya is the strongest evidence to date of Obama’s fundamental contempt for the United States, its people and our form of government. To an uber-liberal like Obama, transnational organizations like NATO and the UN are inherently superior in judgment to the American people, as well as their elected representatives. To have consulted the people – or Congress – would be to put the wise and far-seeing judgment of UN apparatchiks at the mercy of a nation of bitter clingers.
The really sad thing about it is that intervention in Libya is in America’s best interest – and I also believe that Obama could have easily secured popular and Congressional approval for the action, had he sought it. He refused to take us in to his confidence and presented us, instead, with a fait accompli…almost daring us, now, to pull the plug on the adventure. He knows that on his side there will be many who simply won’t want to cross a Democrat President, while many on our side won’t want to undercut an ongoing military operation. President Obama has placed us all in a very bad position and has gravely weakened the United States…we neither have the leadership to seek total victory nor the political will to terminate the effort.
All we can say to this is that 2012 cannot get here fast enough…
