obama should use the military in libya

[washamericom]

There is NO provision in the Constitution for getting involved in other nations internal affairs.



STOP THE PRESS

I made a post calling for the use of USAF and navy forces to protect the people in Libya a week ago.

Well if I am crazy then so is Hillary because she is calling for a no Fly Zone, Which is Exactly what I called for.

If the President deems it to be in our National Interests then the Constitution Clearly gives him and Congress the power to use our Military when, and where they think it is needed.

you should listen to the baby in your AV. It's smarter than you.

You should grow up and learn to debate people instead of just telling them how stupid you think they are.

I am not saying anything that the leaders of Nato, and now Hillary are not also saying.

So how would ousting Gadafi be in our "National Interest"?

it's time for the chief to send in the special forces to capture al-qaddafi, then we could put him on trial in new york city.
he should damn the politics, and do what's right. the u.n suspends libya, "you are a very bad boy gadaffi, don't make us warn you, about slaughtering civilians".

I didn't say it was or was not. I said if the President and Congress deem it to be, then they have constitutional Authority to act.

Someone had implied there is no constitutional Power to attack a foreign power ever.

They implied wrong.

Neocons are the warmongers? Right?
Libertarians are more for us staying out of other nations business?

When a leader starts slaughtering his own people in the streets. It becomes our Business. IMO.

Considering the economic reprocussions occuring because if his actions, how could they not be?

Id still oppose going to war over this. But the idea that we have no interest in the market price of oil is absurd.

Is there anything that isn't our business?

This is a really dumb idea.

It is NOT our business, in any way, shape, or form.

Libya is having a Civil War.

So it is up to the Libyan people to rise up and make a change.

Or to keep Gadafi as their leader.

Actually NO, we should stay the hell out of it. Completely.

Using the standard it sounds like he is using? No.

Do tyrants fear America anymore? President Obama
The débacle of Washington’s handling of the Libya issue is symbolic of a wider problem at the heart of the Obama administration’s foreign policy. The fact that it took ten days and at least a thousand dead on the streets of Libya’s cities before President Obama finally mustered the courage to call for Muammar “mad dog” Gaddafi to step down is highly embarrassing for the world’s only superpower, and emblematic of a deer-in-the-headlights approach to world leadership. Washington seems incapable of decisive decision-making on foreign policy at the moment, a far cry from the days when it swept entire regimes from power, and defeated America’s enemies with deep-seated conviction and an unshakeable drive for victory.

yes well, you should be runniing the show. Its over a months since Tunisia blew and we stil don't have a marine outfit on the Kearsarge ( that was carrying the amphib. marine cont. for the 6th fleet, its been in Afghanistan for months) or an aircraft carrier in range.



And all this talk of a no fly zone? zip zero nada,,,,its was just a we are getting tough headline, no one else is on board.

 

[Wicked Jester]

Just send a cruise missile into his pup tent and be done with it. He's making no effort to hide himself. We know where he is.

The one we need to go after, after that, is his son. He seems to be just as crazy as Sadaam's sons were.

If we are going to go in there and blast the shit out of 'em, we can't afford to do it the Clinton way and fire at BS targets that have no meaning. Find THEM, and kill them.

It worked out fine for saddam

A Dictator holding on to one city, and using Jets to slaughter his people is not a Civil war. That A massacre.
