#1 I'll just note / point out the bloody obvious that Obama did not admit he made a mistake; can't have that...

#2 "Even as we helped the Libyan people bring an end to the reign of a tyrant, our coalition could have and should have done more to fill a vacuum left behind," Obama said.

Literal translation:

Cause = "We helped"
Effect = "Vacuum left behind"

#4 Obama told the United Nations General Assembly the international community must work harder in future to ensure states do not implode.

Unless, it's America, which he and his cabal have been working tirelessly to achieve.

#6 The entire record of his administration looks like a huge series of mistakes.

#7 JQC, that depends solely on WHAT this administration was trying to accomplish.

The cynic in me looks at this and thinks that they feel they have been wildly successful. They wanted the fundamental transformation from the most powerful and wealthy nation to one that is on an inescapable path to third world status and submission to Marxian Muslims.

Looks like they're getting there.

#8 Obama, Cameron and Sarkozy committed a bloody crime in Libya. Theirs was not a noble cause. They did not create democracy. They never intended to do so. They had to know that only war and chaos could result from what they did.

The only decent thing to do when somebody starts spouting this type of disgusting, obvious and flagrant bullshit is to get up and walk out. The fact that nobody in the UN General Assembly actually did that tells me all I need to know about it. They're all just as bad as he is.
