Can Anyone Say We Aren't the World's Biggest Hypocrites?

Here is Obama's exact quote on why the U.S HAD to get involved in Libya.  He doesn't mince words:


"To brush aside America’s responsibility as a leader and — more profoundly — our responsibilities to our fellow human beings under such circumstances would have been a betrayal of who we are....And as president, I refused to wait for the images of slaughter and mass graves before taking action."

Wow sir.  That is very morally just and principled.  Well, I guess if that's the core of who we are as Americans we must stay true to our values no matter what.

Here is the U.N description on the current state of conditions in Syria:


"Army snipers and Shabbiha gunmen [from pro-Assad militias] posted at strategic points terrorised the population, targeting and killing small children, women and other unarmed civilians. Fragmentation mortar bombs were also fired into densely populated neighborhoods. Security agencies continued to systematically arrest wounded patients in state hospitals and to interrogate them, often using torture, about their supposed participation in opposition demonstrations or armed activities. Turmoil in Syria is worsening daily, with more than 6,000 estimated dead in a year-long assault by President Bashar Assad on his own people.

Wow, that being said we must be getting ready to 'lead away.'  We can't possibly accept this 'slaughter and mass graves.' That would be a complete 'betrayal of who we are.'   We must 'take action.' 

The ball is in your court Mr. President:  

"Further militarization will lead to a dangerous and chaotic path.  We'll continue to evaluate as time goes on. The fact of the matter is the aggression is being carried out by Assad and that's why we're working so hard with international partners to cease and desist."

Ummmmm, but what about that whole thing you said before?  Oh, no oil fields in Syria?  Got it chief.

Look, if it were up to me we wouldn't be anywhere on the earth besides U.S soil, but can we please stop blatantly lying to the American people and the rest of the world about our motivations for our actions.
