As far as I can tell, Ike would be written off as a "mass murderer" by bac. Maybe, the fuzzy bits of time would have absolved Ike. But that is bac's take on Powell, who is certainly worthy of some blame, especially for his lies to the UN, but otherwise has supported a judicious of military force throughout his career.
In bac's warped mind you are either Jesus Christ or you are the Devil. There is no grey area or any room for talk of being only one person struggling to make a difference within a bigger system and against competing forces. This is why he tends to prefer those who concentrate power in their own hands and dictators like Chavez, Quaddafi, the Castros, Hussein and probably even the leaders of North Korea.
Many on the right, Obama supporters and even libertarians do the same thing. All this dark conspiracy stuff is just bullshit and only compelling to nutjobs who are looking for the Devil. There is nothing to establish that the choices made after the initial attack were wrong. Shit happens. I don't need to criticize the administrations motives or go in and second guess how they handled the mess after the fact. I am satisifed that Obama is not some villainous murderer and that he was doing the best he could based on the information he had.
Obama SHOULD be criticized for going into Libya without consulting Congress. But Metoo Romney and the supporters of the imperial Presidency on the right are not going to do it. I understand why he went around McCain and the nutjobs in Congress. He should not have done it. Sorry, for the freedom fighters in Libya but we should not be turning our democracy into a dictatorship based on some outside hope that they might establish a democracy. I don't need to lie about how great Quaddafi and Hussein were either. They were assholes.
I support cumbersome and slow to act democracy, especially when it comes to whether we engage in military action in the first place. Once you are in it, it's stupid for us or Congress to second guess the professionals. We have turned war into an entertainment industry where dumbfucks imagine how they would have aligned all their military pieces to pull off these perfect engagements without any mistakes. It's rather sickening and has nothing to do with anything of substance.
