Obama gets away with a lot.

Our man has murdered several thousands in the Middle East, Asia and Africa and no one seems to care.

Or remember.

To those who are a bit slow on the uptake, I am referring to what took place in Libya, Yemen and Syria in the immediate aftermath of the Arab spring in 2011, when rebel forces suddenly found themselves on the side of America and its allies.

The Black Africans, who lived in Gaddafi’s country were safe in the knowledge that they could go about their business without being terrorized by the natives.

And once Gaddaffi’s removal was actualized by NATO, the rebel led forces promptly slaughtered hundreds of Black Africans.

Folks will remember what took place in other parts of the Middle East, when ISIS ran riot back then, killing westerners and non-westerners with equal fervour.

Yemen did also go the same way as Libya, when the long term strongman — Abdul Saleh —was taken out, with Saudi Arabia being caught up in the protracted war which subsequently broke out.
