Obama not worried about murdered Americans

only about Arabs at risk

Ed Morrissey notes:

...let’s take a look at Obama’s dodge on Libya. He came out swinging on the suggestion that the Libya mission was unconstitutional and poorly handled, saying:

Moammar Gaddafi, who prior to Osama bin Laden was responsible for more American deaths than just about anybody on the planet, was threatening to massacre his people. . . . As a consequence, a guy who was a state sponsor of terrorist operations against the United States of America is pinned down, and the noose is tightening around him.

Kessler points out that Obama himself didn’t seem to think this was a problem before March:

Yes, Gaddafi is a bad guy, but Obama conveniently ignores the fact that until the uprising, the administration was rushing to do business with him. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with one of Gadhafi’s sons, Mutassim Gadhafi, in 2009, declaring, “I’m very much looking forward to building on this relationship.”

So in 2009, even though "Moammar Gaddafi, who prior to Osama bin Laden was responsible for more American deaths than just about anybody on the planet" Obama's Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with one of Gadhafi’s sons, Mutassim Gadhafi, in 2009, declaring,

“I’m very much looking forward to building on this relationship.”

But in 2011 when Gaddafi was "threatening to massacre his people" suddenly a war without Congressional approval was the only course of action and if you dare question that:

“Whose side are you on?” -- Obama's Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton

Clearly… Obama is not worried about dead Americans, but rather only about Arabs at risk.
