Remind Me Again Why We Bombed Libya

That country no longer exists and ISIS has moved in. Why did we bomb them? Was it so that Obama could take another victory lap as he did after Osama was killed? Good grief, what's next? It seems that our Feckless Leader doesn't really mind killing people as long as his fingernails don't get dirty. Should we rename the White House the Ivory Tower?

Obama's illegal war in Libya was for France to keep getting their cheap OIL..
Link to that bs. Nonsensical in every possible way.

Link to something that is common knowledge?

The far left will do all they can to support Obama and his illegal wars..

NATO went there To enforce a UN Resolution

Military intervention in Libya
Part of the Libyan Civil War


Date 19 March – 31 October 2011[4]
(7 months, 1 week and 5 days)
Location Libya
Result Decisive NATO victory
Belligerents
States enforcing UNSC Resolution 1973:


Clashes between Libya and the United States
On 19 March 2011, a multi-state coalition began a military intervention in Libya, ostensibly to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973. The United Nations Intent and Voting was to have "an immediate ceasefire in Libya, including an end to the current attacks against civilians, which it said might constitute crimes against humanity" ... "imposing a ban on all flights in the country's airspace – a no-fly zone – and tightened sanctions on the Qadhafi regime and its supporters." The resolution was taken in response to events during the Libyan Civil War,[18] and military operations began, with American and British naval forces firing over 110 Tomahawk cruise missiles,[19] the French Air Force, British Royal Air Force, and Royal Canadian Air Force[20] undertaking sorties across Libya and a naval blockade by Coalition forces.[21] French jets launched air strikes against Libyan Army tanks and vehicles.[22][23] The Libyan government response to the campaign was totally ineffectual, with Gaddafi's forces not managing to shoot down a single NATO plane despite the country possessing 30 heavy SAM batteries, 17 medium SAM batteries, 55 light SAM batteries (a total of 400-450 launchers, including 130-150 SA-6 launchers and some SA-8 launchers), and 440-600 short-ranged air-defense guns.[24][25] The official names for the interventions by the coalition members are Opération Harmattan by France; Operation Ellamy by the United Kingdom; Operation Mobile for the Canadian participation and Operation Odyssey Dawn for the United States.[26]

From the beginning of the intervention, the initial coalition of Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, Norway, Qatar, Spain, UK and US[27][28][29][30][31] expanded to nineteen states, with newer states mostly enforcing the no-fly zone and naval blockade or providing military logistical assistance. The effort was initially largely led by France and the United Kingdom, with command shared with the United States. NATO took control of the arms embargo on 23 March, named Operation Unified Protector. An attempt to unify the military command of the air campaign (whilst keeping political and strategic control with a small group), first failed over objections by the French, German, and Turkish governments.[32][33] On 24 March, NATO agreed to take control of the no-fly zone, while command of targeting ground units remains with coalition forces.[34][35][36] The handover occurred on 31 March 2011 at 06:00 UTC (08:00 local time). NATO flew 26,500 sorties since it took charge of the Libya mission on 31 March 2011.

Fighting in Libya ended in late October following the death of Muammar Gaddafi, and NATO stated it would end operations over Libya on 31 October 2011. Libya's new government requested that its mission be extended to the end of the year,[37] but on 27 October, the Security Council voted to end NATO's mandate for military action on 31 October.[38]

We and the French and the Italians bombed Ghaddaffi's army to stop a massacre of his opponents. Bye bye terrorist dictator. Sorry about your luck.


He was not a terrorist dictator anymore ...he was working with the West!

Shame on those who killed him!
Yeah, right. Watch some of this!

Mad Dog: Inside the Secret World of Muammar Gaddafi part I


Ghaddafi and his miscreant sons were every bit as bad, if not worse, than Saddam and his thug sons. You extremist wingnuts were all crying about Saddam's "Rape Rooms" as a reason for us to invade. What Ghaddafi did to young girls and boys under 15 years old - personally - is much worse. He was an animal, with oil wealth and weaponry who has supported terrorism for decades.

Either you wingnuts want a war against terrorists or you don't.

See the irony in their posts yet?
 
That country no longer exists and ISIS has moved in. Why did we bomb them? Was it so that Obama could take another victory lap as he did after Osama was killed? Good grief, what's next? It seems that our Feckless Leader doesn't really mind killing people as long as his fingernails don't get dirty. Should we rename the White House the Ivory Tower?



Let me explain to you the most fundamental principle of American foreign policy: Any country where the people have unpronounceable names can be bombed by the US with impunity. For you Rockwell readers who are a little slow on the uptake, "impunity" means they aren't allowed to bomb us back. "We called no tag-backs." It hardly qualifies as impunity when they blow up our biggest buildings, now does it? They aren't playing by the rules.
 
Remind Me Again Why We Bombed Libya

For oil, Hillary Clinton said so. She said that since our allies supported us in Afghanistan we owed it to them to support them in Libya.
bs. link?

Translation, you are uninformed and that sounds like a personal problem to me. Frankly you can't afford my consulting fees maybe your fellow libs can help you out.

That's the chickenhawk Pubs, not Dems. Nato bombing in Libya and Serbia killed relatively few citizens, even ISIS- see number who come back without bombing.
