I am no Cain supporter, but I do not think he did as badly as some have indicated. His dwelling on the make up, abilities and potentials of the NTC was justified.  How many know what the NATO motives and decision making involved in the Libyan war were, exactly who make up the rebel forces and what its outcome will be.

@jasmormon66:
No need to laugh or cry—just relax and wait.

Herman needs to win committed delagates.
He won’t quit before it’s proven he can’t.
He needs to campaign in all 50-states.

Even before this and the sex scandal, he was a long shot.  He still is.

But I like Herman Cain, his plain talk & the elegance of his 999 plan.
I’ll support him as long as I’m Abel.

T-party explanation:
Cain was being waterboarded. That mostly empty bottle
on the table is a dead giveaway (and isn’t he being
forced to sit in a reclining chair?). The audacity of
liberal media knows no bounds.

Tomorrow his wife’s gonna come out:
“That wasn’t my Herman, must have been a robot clone,
because Herman know everthang about Liberia.”

If it’s Libya, Libya, Libya on the        
label, label label.
You will love it, love it, love it on your
table, table, table.

There are two options, one he agrees completely with how Obama handled the Libya situation and he is doing anything to keep from saying Obama did something right.  This is unlikely as it seems if he was informed at all he could come up with at least one concrete aspect he would have handled differently. 

What is far more likely is he just doesn’t know anything about the Libyan situation.  His long pause and very basic question (which he tried to make sound like a statement but it really looked like he was asking for help) shows a man trying to gain some time to come up with a BS answer, which he does.  He then goes on to discuss how he would need all the facts (which is really an admission of not knowing anything about it.)  He never recovered, his answers continued to be non-answers crafted in a way to make it look like he is being careful.  Its just another example of a Republican candidate demonstrating a staggering lack of interest about world events.  Beneath it all his answer was, I don’t know anything about it at all and that doesn’t matter because if I were president I would get the information and would make a decision.  I bet the average truthdig reader could have given a better answer and is more informed.

I wonder if all these headlight moments are the symptom of something more—the constant distraction of social media, omnipresent tv and in Perry’s case maybe meds.  They seem to affect repubs disproportionately though.

There was recently a great stage play about the subject called “Distracted”.  Try to remember the last time you had an hour of unbroken concentration.

This video indicates that Herman Cain would have the same cold-bloodedly deliberate foreign policy that Obama does. The only real difference would be that liberals would be opposed to Cain doing what they have supported Obama doing.

Obama did know who was behind the Libyan rebellion, and where it was heading. That’s why it was ripe for the “humanitarian” assistance of a neoliberal military intervention. Cain is just acting like a devious Democrat, here, when he pretends to not know who the Libyan “rebells” are that Obama has militarily supported… deploying the NATO forces that were formed into an aggressor resource war expeditionary force, back when people died when Clinton lied.

The first official act of the CIA organized Libyan “rebells” was to establish an IMF neoliberal policy friendly central bank, back in March, 2011… before they had a government… before they even had anything resembling a rebel army organized.

The weapon most effectively deployed in this successful neoliberal acquisition of a nation was the seizure of monetary assets that transferred Libya’s wealth from Gaddafi control to the control of the international banksters who own both Obama and the Libyan “rebel” leadership.

As for the rumors of “al-Qaeda” elements within the opposition to Gaddafi, that’s to be expected. America’s end-stage growth industry is the creation of terrorists to have terrorists to kill.

Nothing worries liberals more than the prospect that Republicans might not manage America’s fascism as competently well as Democrats do.

At the beginning Cain certainly stumbled but he seemed to regain his footing well. Truthdig seems to be grasping at straws here. The nature of the new government has been called into question and its quite possible the country could descend into civil war. There are plenty of video feeds to make Cain look idiotic, but this one seems fine to me.

There’s a visual message here.

Books = brains.

Cain is not that far off the mark. The nature of the “rebel” forces in Libya has already been proven as having direct Al Qaeda connections, the whole thing reeking of just another imperialist regime change. Cain may not have knowledge of this, but Obama certainly does.

Al Mollitor:  Please don’t apologize for a moron. Thank
you.

You know, he makes more sense here than Truthdig is willing to give him credit for. How much do we really know about those who will be in power in Libya? This could yet turn out to be a nightmare we (once again) helped create.

He looks presidential.  Elect him!!!

Oh my God!  This guy makes Palin look like Margaret
Thatcher.  This is one of the best and brightest of the
Republican’t Party?
