Once Again, Obama Screams Hypocrisy on Libya (Obama Speech, March 26, 2011)

The Senator that refused to even conceive of taking down Saddam Hussein is now the President who champions any action to that effect.  During the 2008 campaign, Mr. Barack Obama made as much political hay out of not supporting the Iraq war as possible.  My, how things have changed.

In a speech today, the President tried to explain why he ordered the US to bomb Libya.  It said, in part:

But I firmly believe that when innocent people are being brutalized; when someone like Qaddafi threatens a bloodbath that could destabilize an entire region; and when the international community is prepared to come together to save many thousands of lives—then it’s in our national interest to act. And it’s our responsibility. This is one of those times.

Let's see...  Innocents brutalized and a bloodbath?  Oh, he must be talking about Saddam Hussein gassing his own people in Halabja in 1988!  Destabilizing the region?  Oh, he must be talking about Iraq invading both Iran and Kuwait!  The international community is coming together?  Oh, he must be talking about the 40 nation coalition that invaded Iraq in 2003!

Wait, what?  He's talking about Libya?  Wow, what a hypocrite.
