War Plans for Mali

Shhhh.... Nobody tell Obama voters, but the war he got us into in Libya (illegally, without Congressional approval) caused another war in Mali.  And now he plans to get us into that one as well.

Military planners from Africa, the United Nations and Europe in Mali’s capital Bamako last week drew up a battle plan that would involve a foreign force of more than 4,000 personnel, mostly from West African countries. It remains unclear how much of the force would come from Western nations.

Also, don't tell Obama voters that these are "imperialist wars for oil".

In Libya there’s an argument to be made that even though the United States ‘led from behind’ we were nevertheless used by French oil interests among others to increase French prestige and power in the neighborhood. The French are very good at getting other people to do their dirty jobs for them. Mali is part of France’s ghost empire in Africa; there’s a case to be made for remaining well in the rear and not even leading.

I thought Pres Obama was supposed to be the peace president.

It's almost as if Obama voters' "anti-war" stance was really just an anti-Republican stance.  Nah... that's just cynical!
