Congressman Steve Womack
Dear Congressman Womack,
April 19, 2011
Thanks for your response to my communication regarding the American assault on Libya, as disappointing as it was. You make some statements and take positions that are untrue, callous and unconstitutional.
1. There is no evidence that Moammar Quaddafi turned his guns on his own people. At this juncture it is not known who is leading the rebel uprising, yet we are supplying them with men and equipment. What kind of sense does that make? Yet our leadership is busily trying to mask our involvements in our self-induced killing fields.
2. Before the institution of the so-called No-Fly Zone, the U.S. was subsidizing Libya, although in small amounts.
3. Your statement which sends cold chills up my spine, i.e. “the U.S. has answered the call issued by the United Nations through a (nebulous) resolution in 1973â€. Answering the call is a military response. You are now a civilian which requires a complete mental reversal.
a. Libya is a sovereign nation which offered no threat to the U.S.
b. The call issued by the U.N. dramatically proves the United States is under global control.
c. President Obama’s unilateral attack on Libya is a flagrant violation of the Constitution and the rule of law and vividly demonstrates that he is a murderer and has no problem trashing the U.S. Constitution. More appalling, Congressman Womack, is the fact you support the murder of the Libyan people, which makes you a willing accomplice.
4. You state “I believe it is the absolute duty of the president to convey his full plan of operation, to the American peopleâ€. Congressman Womack, what you are stating is well after the fact and he does not have the Constitutional authority to bypass the U.S. Congress, which you as a Congressman ought to be standing foursquare against the tyrant Obama. As of this date Obama has not conveyed to the American people any such plan of operation.
5. The Libyan butchery was first billed as “an interest†of the American people, at which time it morphed into a “humanitarian†enterprise. Since when has bombing the crap out of a country, killing, maiming indiscriminately and destroying become “HUMANITARIANâ€. Right out of the NEOCON playbook….â€ETERNAL WAR FOR ETERNAL PEACE.†Three wars and who pays and for what? All built on lies.
Your conduct in the Libyan matter is at best disgusting and through your approval of Obama’s conduct makes you complicit in the act of murder. Folks like you and Obama are the real global terrorists.
Even though you have had military experience in the Mid-East, as an officer and allegedly a gentlemen, should in no way allow that experience to destroy your judgment.
Kindest regards,
Joe McCutchen
P.S. At least you stated your position…not a peep from any other Arkansas national representatives.
