Obama spent 2 billion US dollars to get Qadaffi assassinated without trial and to replace Qadaffi by a pro Sharia law government. Instead Obama's poll numbers dropped even further. The expected boost of Obama approval due to Qadaffi instead turned out to be a surprising decline.
What maybe the reasons that after Libya involvement Obama numbers tanked further. Could it be because of the following reasons
1) 2 billion US dollars spent on Libyan involvement. Taxpayers not happy that reckless spending continues in the midst of a severe recession when people are losing homes, cars and going bankrupt.
2) People not convinced that Qadaffi posed any threat to US national security whatsoever, since he was already declared unarmed and harmless by UN and Bush during days of iraq war. That was when he surrendered all his WMD and weapon programs
3) Majority of citizens do not like it that Qadaffi is higher priority than the economy. They want their unemployment, economic suffering as top priority before the 'crimes against humanity' banner.
So which of the 3 is it?
or this one --
4) Sharia law government replaces Qadaffi. Americans see it as utter failure
Left Liberetian: It was not UN or NATO money that funded the operation. It was US taxpayer dollar money worth 2 billion USD.
UN couldn't do squat without Obama spending $2 billion. The operation wouldn't even move
My guess is all of the above.
