So yesterday Gaddafi trended. Why? Because in the long tradition of “it’s okay when we do it” a buncha knobslobbing Democrats want Obama to be a pure example of the anti-Trump, they’ll ignore what he… y’know… did. That’s why, when White House spokesman Hogan Gidley mentioned that Obama extrajudicially killed Anwar and Abdulrahman Al-Awlaki, Osama “Tim Osman” Bin Laden, an Moamar Gaddafi, they all came out of the woodwork to be orbiters for queen Barrack. I mean, I didn’t even know who started it until hours later because the OP got buried. So many people thirsty for a “hope and change wellspring” that never provided any hydration… so little time. So what did he say that was so abjectly “terrible”?
“Soleimani was, in fact, planning “imminent attacks.” While Democrats and the media quibble over its definition, quick point: When Obama killed bin Laden, al-Awlaki and Gaddafi, without Congressional approval, there were NO “imminent attacks” and Democrats did not ask or care.”
This comment – specifically about the killing of bin Laden, al-Awlaki and Gaddafi – is objectively true. Literally no lies detected. But oh boy… there were hundreds of blue checks, and thousands of salivating morons who screamed for hours about how “wrong” he was. So five hours later, I saw the thing trending and threw my hat in the ring.

Nobody’s even challenged me on this, presumably because the side of Twitter who would cry about this already has me blocked, pre-emptively. Can’t have too many facts in your diet if you want to be “dummy thicc”. And since they’re also too ideologically vapid to trend the others, I’ll be focusing on Gaddafi. But I’ll get to the others soon enough too.
Now like… I hate Trump. I’ve made my reasons crystal clear, and anyone who thinks this point of accuracy by one of his staffers will change that is not a very full box of crayons. But Hogan is actually wrong zero times in that part of the tweet. Zero. Everything he said was fucking true. He would later go on to say…
“Hey “fact checkers,” don’t be ridiculous. What I was clearly saying is that Obama and Hillary took credit for the killing of these terrorists repeatedly, including Gaddafi. Hillary even said: “We came. We saw. He died.” Emails (the ones Hillary didn’t delete) showed her advisers urged her to own it. Obama’s authorization of a bombing campaign and his Administration’s assistance in the overthrow of the Libyan government led to Gaddafi’s death…everyone knows this. We all saw how he died. The real point here is that many Democrats NEVER said a word about “war powers” when Obama was President – even when he carried out hundreds of drone attacks – including on American citizens. Bottom line: For Democrats, this is not about the power of the Presidency this is about who the President is. Democrats rush to criticize this President – even when he takes out the world’s most dangerous terrorist, simply because the President is @realDonaldTrump.”
Now, I think “worlds most dangerous terrorist” is a bit stupid, especially since the US is constantly pushing people around and, as Dennis Leary put it, “We’ve got the bombs! Two words. Nuclear fucking weapons, okay?!” And many Democrats opposed Obama’s warmongering. But not most, by a damn sight. The US got away with killing Gaddafi, the Al Awlakis, and their CIA asse- oh shit sorry did I say that shit out loud? I meant Bin Laden. Shit. Hate it when that happens. Point is, they get away with pushing around the world, being in unpayable debt to the rest of the world, being in a ton of countries killing a ton of civilians, and helping install their economic and political system wherever they trapse – why? Because they’re all scared fucking shitless of the good ol’ US of A. What’s a word for like… manipulation of politics by way of violence and fear? Shit… can’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe it’ll come to me later.
Anyway, while I struggle to remember that, let’s look at the facts. Obama signed a CIA “finding” requesting funds for a secret op to arm and fund the rebels who would eventually kill Gaddafi. Reuters reported:
“President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing covert U.S. government support for rebel forces seeking to oust Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, government officials told Reuters on Wednesday. Obama signed the order, known as a presidential “finding”, within the last two or three weeks, according to government sources familiar with the matter. Such findings are a principal form of presidential directive used to authorize secret operations by the Central Intelligence Agency. This is a necessary legal step before such action can take place but does not mean that it will.”

And literally everyone agreed to these facts, too. Even liberal rags like NYT couldn’t have a story softening the blow of the Benghazi embassy attack if they didn’t also talk about the time Obama helped play regime change in the region. They said “The Obama administration secretly gave its blessing to arms shipments to Libyan rebels from Qatar last year, but American officials later grew alarmed as evidence grew that Qatar was turning some of the weapons over to Islamic militants, according to United States officials and foreign diplomats.” And the article goes on to say that there weren’t many CIA officers in the region, and it led to the diffusion of these arms to many less-moderate “rebels”. Wow. The CIA accidentally arming terrorists has never happened before *cough* al-qaeda *cough*. The BBC reported that this was Obama’s “worst mistake”, elaborating that “…after the former Libyan leader was killed, Libya plunged into chaos with militias taking over and two rival parliaments and governments forming.” Obama called Libya “a mess”.

Whoops.
So while remembering this in total 20/20 hindsight, let’s also hear from the Guardian, who talked about how the Libyan government tried desperately to push for peace. While Gaddafi stood his ground on creating a new pan-African currency, he was trying to get the US in peace talks for months.
“The Gaddafi regime carried out an extraordinary clandestine lobbying operation to try to stop Nato’s bombardment of Libya, and believed the western allies were likely to launch a full-scale invasion in “either late September or October”. Secret documents in Tripoli seen by the Guardian reveal the desperate attempts made by the Libyan government in its final months to influence US and world opinion. It approached key international opinion formers from the US president Barack Obama downwards. The regime tried to persuade the Democratic congressman Dennis Kucinich – a well-known rebel who voted against Nato military action in Libya, and opposed the Iraq war – to visit Tripoli as part of a hastily arranged “peace mission”. The Libyan government offered to pay all Kucinich’s costs related to the trip, including “travel expenses and accommodation”.”
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/aug/25/libya-letters-gaddafi-nato-obama
So why did the US want to invade? They claim it was to protect civilians, but how the fuck did they do that? By all accounts, their actions led to the destruction of Libya, and the whole region surrounding them is still beholden to the dollar and a foreign policy of death and destruction, but not by choice. When you have these “friends”, who needs enemies? From ForeignPolicy Mag, “In truth, the Libyan intervention was about regime change from the very start. The threat posed by the Libyan regime’s military and paramilitary forces to civilian-populated areas was diminished by NATO airstrikes and rebel ground movements within the first 10 days. Afterward, NATO began providing direct close-air support for advancing rebel forces by attacking government troops that were actually in retreat and had abandoned their vehicles. Fittingly, on Oct. 20, 2011, it was a U.S. Predator drone and French fighter aircraft that attacked a convoy of regime loyalists trying to flee Qaddafi’s hometown of Sirte. The dictator was injured in the attack, captured alive, and then extrajudicially murdered by rebel forces.”
So the US came in, didn’t like the dictator they saw, had him killed by “rebel” forces they armed and funded with CIA money Obama authorized, and all in a bid to destroy stability generated while not under US control. From CommonDreams, “Barack Obama destroyed Libya. What he did to Libya is as bad as what Bush did to Iraq and Afghanistan. He doesn’t deserve a historical pass. When Obama took office in 2009, Libya was under the clutches of longtime dictator Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. But things were looking up.”

But we’re not allowed to say “Obama killed Gaddafi”? Okay, retards. Let’s go down this road then. If Obama isn’t responsible for CIA actions he explicitly authorized, then Bush never invaded the Middle East, his dad didn’t oversee the Highway of Death (another time the US merc’d fleeing people and civilians). You don’t get to call the Bushes war criminals anymore. Trump didn’t drone enough people to prompt him to cancel the transparent reporting order. He’s also not responsible for the smoking age increase, or anything else really. He only signed in approval, afterall – and that clearly means he’s absolved of all responsibility. Trump did nothing wrong!
Of course this is absurd, and any dumbfuck stupid enough to believe it would only use it when it exonerates liberalbaes like Obama, because if not, you have to say things like “well, if Hitler wasn’t pulling the trigger or dropping tablets…” And that’s not all – because essentially this attitude absolves all historical military leaders of everything. All of history must be uprooted because some stupid adult children don’t want to admit Obama did something icky. And now, people like me have to make videos like this. To chastise you, and tell you to go the fuck to your room and think about what you’ve done.
And that’s not all. You thought I’d forget that he allegedly killed Bin Laden in an illegal raid on a Pakistani compound? And I don’t even mean that to say the killing wasn’t illegal – i mean it to say that we have more pictures of the alleged corpse of Epstein than we do of Bin Laden, and chucking someone out of a helicopter into the ocean isn’t a great way to give people confidence you actually offed him, and neither do the mysterious deaths of Seal Team Six members but like… that’s a side issue. It was illegal. Pakistan didn’t authorize it, and it coulda been considered an act worth going to war for. Sound familiar? Like maybe similar to the Trump Suleimani jive y’all have been railing against? Or is it only bad when he does it?
Or the extrajudicial assassination of two AMERICAN CITIZENS authorized by Obama in order to shut them up – Anwar and Abdulrahman Al-Awlaki were killed not too long later by UAVs armed with AGM-114 Hellfire missiles funded by… you guessed it… the CIA. And what did they do? They said the wrong things to the wrong people, and some of those people ended up killing some innocent people. Well if it’s okay to kill people for inciting violence resulting in civilian deaths… the US has a lot to be held accountable for. And the ACLU tried to hold him accountable – saying like… “Dear Obama – you can’t just vaporize Americans without judicial process”. Literally. Oh, and I’m still not pro-Trump. Trump killed Anwar’s daughter in a raid by having her shot in the neck. And before Trumpets come at me saying “but muh Trump didn’t do that”, see the rest of this vid. Presidents are responsible for kills they sign off on. Even yours.

So why does all this have to come up? Maybe like… people look fondly back on their choices and want you to as well. They see their past through rose-colored glasses and want you to put them on too, even if it means revising and outright erasing history. Starry-eyed idealists, all… they want any detractors to ignore all facts. Absolutely married to their bullshit tribes, they’ll block their eyes and ears so they never have to speak on the evils their side does.
Well I’m not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad. Even at your guy. Fuck Obama and his trash, warmongering, fake-liberal administration, and fuck all of the people trying to cover that up. If that includes you?
Fuck you too.
