Sean Hannity and Sarah Palin angrily refuse to give President Obama any credit for death of Gaddafi.

Palin and Hannity essentially decide that this might be a terrible thing in the end because an even worse regime might rise to take Gaddafi's place. Much of Palin's concern seems to hinge on her belief that Islamists might take over. Which considering HER religious proclivities is fairly ironic.

But that is not enough for Palin, who then decides she needs to evoke the "Oh High Father of Republicanism," Ronald Reagan, to give the ultimate smackdown to those damn liberals.

Hey, let me add something, though, to this Gaddafi regime change now discussion. And that is, it strikes me as quite ironic, Sean, that those on the left had been so dismissive of Ronald Reagan’s 1986 strikes against Gaddafi and calling it a criminal act and these are the same people now, today, celebrating Obama’s participation in NATO’s leadership with the air strikes that has lead to the demise of Gaddafi. The inconsistencies there with foreign policy support and actions that our military and our participation with NATO and what the White House does, the inconsistencies and the hypocrisy that comes from the left never ceases to amaze. 

It should be noted that Ronald Reagan's strike against Libya was NOT in support of a rebel uprising, was not successful in curtailing terrorist attacks, and that it in fact gave America a black eye in the international community.

This according to the BBC:

The attacks began soon after an increase in coded radio traffic between US ships and planes off the Libyan coast had been noticed. 

The fighter jets appear to have been both carrier based aircraft, operating in the Mediterranean and British based bombers which would have refuelled in mid air. 

The Americans hit the harbour's naval academy, the capital's military airport and army barracks. Tripoli's embassy area and residential districts also suffered extensive damage. 

The Tripoli central hospital and two other medical centres say they have treated hundreds of injured people, including a number of Greeks, Italians and Yugoslavs. 

Mobs of angry survivors have taken to the streets shouting: "Down, down USA. Death to all Americans." 

There are also fears that Britain may be subject to terrorist attacks because some of its involvement in the raids.

Of course there is NO reason to bring Reagan's name into this, as these are two entirely different situations, with two entirely different outcomes.

But leave it up to Sarah Palin to attempt to impugn President Obama's success by comparing it to President Reagan's failure.
