Obama becomes 'Silent Cal' on Libya, sharia

[Apulee 10]

With each passing day, we're learning more and more about the people President Obama tossed us into bed with in Libya.

 

Here's a headline from the London Daily Mail, a British newspaper:

 

"Now the rebels impose Shariah law as Islamic rules become 'basic source' of Libyan legislation."

 

In the story below the headline, readers learn from the chairman of Libya's National Transition Council that the country's new parliament will have "an Islamist tint," that "any existing laws contradicting the teachings of Islam would be nullified" and that men would be allowed to have as many as four wives.

 

Again, the question must be put to Barack Hussein "American Values" Obama, president of the United States: exactly how do Shariah law and polygamy reflect American values?

 

Remember, when Obama justified American and NATO airstrikes in Libya to support the rebel forces that toppled the regime of Moammar Gadhafi, he claimed that preventing bloodshed was an "American value."

 

But there was bloodshed aplenty, as least on the side of Gadhafi forces. Gadhafi himself was a victim of the bloodshed, and the circumstances of his death that have come to light shed more light on what a sham Obama's claim of acting to preserve American values really is.

 

In a separate London Daily Mail story about Gadhafi's death, the paper printed the photo of an unidentified rebel who claimed he was the one who killed Gadhafi.

 

"We grabbed [Gadhafi]," the young man said. "I hit him in the face. Some fighters wanted to take him away and that's when I shot him, twice, in the face and in the chest."

 

Later, it was revealed that more was done to Gadhafi than this young rebel merely shooting him in the face and chest.

 

Some reports say that, before he died, Gadhafi was sodomized with either a knife, bayonet or some other sharp object.

 

So let's recap:

• Obama commits American forces -- as part of NATO -- to supporting a rebel faction in Libya whose goal is to overthrow Gadhafi. Obama does this while having absolutely no clue about what kind of people make up this rebel faction.
   
  
• The rebel forces prevail, primarily through NATO airstrikes. It was a NATO airstrike that took out a Gadhafi convoy fleeing Sirte that allowed rebel forces to capture the deposed Libyan leader.
   
  
• Gadhafi ends up in the hands of what can only be considered a mob. He is beaten, tortured, possibly sodomized, and fatally shot in what has been oxymoronically described as "mob justice." His body is then put on public display in a meat store.
   
  
• Secretary of State Hillary Clinton flies into Libya and announces, with the smug arrogance we might expect from an official from Obama's administration, "We came, we saw, he [Gadhafi] died."
   
  
• Leaders of Libya's National Transition Council announce that Shariah law will prevail in Libya.
   
  
• Obama is mum on No. 5.
  

 

He hasn't said one word about the blatantly false account of Gadhafi's death that interim Libyan Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril initially gave reporters.

 

He hasn't condemned the "mob justice" that led to Gadhafi's death, the beating, the torture, the alleged sodomizing. He hasn't mumbled so much as a syllable about Gadhafi's body being put on display in a meat store.

 

Obama hasn't said one word about Shariah being the law of the land in the new Libya. The man who was unavoidable for comment when it came to justifying American intervention in Libya has now pulled a complete Harpo Marx act.

 

On this issue, Obama has made "Silent" Cal Coolidge look like a motor mouth.
