As refugee numbers mount, Libyan stalemate could be Obama’s undoing
Posted by Ann Corcoran on April 23, 2011
We were told by the French, the British and the UNITED NATIONS that we had to save the people of Libya from Qadhafi. President Obama said, oh sure, as long as the UN says it’s about humanitarianism we’re in! There was apparently no serious planning, no serious thought when Macbeth’s “weird sisters” Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice and Samantha Power told Obama to jump (and he did). Now we are faced with a “slow motion humanitarian crisis” according to the Politico:
Obama originally justified U.S. involvement on the grounds that it was needed to avert an imminent humanitarian crisis there, including the possibility that large numbers of civilians would be killed if forces loyal to Qadhafi overran the rebel-held city of Benghazi.
Now critics see a stalemate producing a similar, slow-motion humanitarian crisis that could linger for months.
“Deterring Qadhafi’s forces from moving forward doesn’t remove him from power, doesn’t create a functioning economy, doesn’t solve humanitarian problems of people being out of their homes, out of work — all of which comes from having this war drag on and on,” said Anthony Cordesman, a defense analyst at the Brookings Institution. “What gets totally lost here is you have hundreds of thousands of people displaced here — refugees … you’re losing economic opportunity, losing jobs, the educational system is breaking down, the whole infrastructure is coming under pressure.”
“The problem we face, is, having started this without evidently any clear plan as to what the outcome would be, we are everyday making this worse.
Moral duty?
And, now we have the UN running to Russia for help with, what else, the “humanitarian crisis” that was unleashed by the UN itself! We have two stories on UN officials begging Russia for help.
Here is UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in Moscow telling the world the fighting must stop—-waaahhhh! Make it stop! The United Nations (presumably with Ban’s blessing) unleashed the three witches in the first place!
Moscow – UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Friday renewed his call for an end to the violence in conflict-ridden Libya.
‘I urge the Libyan authorities to stop fighting and stop killing people,’ he said during an official visit to Moscow.
He said the United Nations’ priority right now was to implement a verifiable and effective ceasefire so that humanitarian aid efforts could be stepped up. Only then, he said, could the flow of refugees out of the country be stopped.
He estimated that half a million people had already fled Libya.
Also in Moscow we learn that the UN is begging for money for the refugee crisis of its own making!
More than $160 million is needed to help refugees from riot-hit Libya, President of the UN General Assembly Joseph Deiss said in an interview with Russia Today TV channel.

Libyan opposition leaders earlier requested the international community to protect the Libyan people “from any further genocide and crimes against humanity without any direct military intervention on Libyan soil.”
“On the one hand, the UN stands for member states and their sovereignty, and on the other hand there are fundamental values the UN stands for,” Deiss said.
“And, beyond certain limits the international community has the moral duty to protect those who are at the mercy of the governments who are not coming up to their obligations,” he added.
Protect! It would be so ironic if one of Obama’s national security advisors, Samantha Power, and her scheme (with George Soros) called the “Responsibility or Right to Protect” would destroy far more lives then it saved. But, I guess that’s what happens when we put immature ideologues and community organizers together in the White House.

Refugees still flooding into Italy (some still dying) trying to leave Libya….. « Refugee Resettlement Watch said

Agreed, it sure looks like part of a plan to destabilize Africa, Europe and us sooner or later.

I will tell you what it does do.
This manufactured stalemate,
1. Serves the purpose of green energy proponents by reenergizing their crusade to eliminate carbon emissions by making the cost of oil prohibitively expensive.
2. Serves the purpose of islamist by
(a) having us fight yet another treasury draining proxy war for them,
(b) allowing them to fill their war chests with the inflated oil profits caused by instability in the region, and
(c) allowing them to send even more muslim colonist to Europe and America.
3. Serves the purpose of progressive social engineers by,
(a) tipping Western economies into a tailspin forcing even more people adopt what they call a green life style (I call it living under the poverty line), and
(b) undermining Western culture with the influx of even more multicultural colonist.
While we are haemorrhaging our wealth on this exercise in futility, Russia, China and other potential enemies of the West grow stronger and will pick up the pieces once the West implodes.

Obama was a community orginizer and look what is happening to Mishigan and Ill, Ohio and TN. other states that have taken these Refugees.
Obama is causing a problems over in Lybia and he will bring more Muslims here and “WHY” NO JOBS, NO MONEY FOR WELFARE, NO MONEY FOR MEDICAL INSURANCE, WE ARE BROKE BORROWING FROM CHINA TO MAKE ENDS MEET AND THERE IS “NO” END. CUT OBAMA’S VACATIONS, DRILL FOR OIL HERE AND NOW!
NO MORE REFUGEES AND ILLEGALS. SENT THE ILLEGALS HOME AND THE REFUGEES THAT ARE CAUSING PROBLEMS. IF THEY ARE INTO FRAUD WITH FOOD STAMPS TAKE EVERYTHING THEY OWN AND SELL IT TAKE CARE OF WHAT THEY HAVE TAKEN IN FRAUD. CUT OFF ALL FOOD STAMPS.
WHEN ACORN IS INVOLVED IT MAKES ME SICK! THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VOTING FRAUD. WHAT ELSE?? OBAMA’S BUDDIES!

The UN costs us money, it should be kicked out of the US. Ban Ki-moon buys into the “poor innocent suffering palestinian” canard & the UN is just an expensive bash Israel forum while all the other countries with 100 times more atrocious human rights records get a free pass. Instead of handing out money we borrow from others, we should be making our own economy strong and then Americans would have enough money to spend on charity as they see fit. All these years we have been paying the palestinians billions of dollars just to see rockets fired at Israel from Gaza and Abbas saying he’d go to war with Israel if the other arab countries backed him and refusing to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, while honoring suicide bombers. The only ally we have in the region is Israel. If the oil rich countries like Saudi Arabia want us there, how about they start paying us protection money? Islam is totally incompatible with the West.

Of course this would also what you have said earlier: that it also gives more and more control to the UN which is definitely a tool for the push toward One World Government.
Bruce Cain said
Could it be that the real intent IS to mobilize mass emigration from the African Northern Crescent to Europe and the US in order to further Balkinize these countries with millions of additional Muslim Extremists. This is being done in order to divide and conquer these countries through a calculated system collapse.
Call me “crazy” but Soros does want an end to borders which is exactly what Agenda 21 and the New World Order would want.
