I cannot imagine, say Condi Rice getting away with this....last video at the bottom of the page; "We came, we saw, he died."yuck yuck yuck"...

But the cowboy/chickenhawks would have screwed it all up. If they had even not gone with the dictator they knew, as Boooosh W did- incredibly cynical cold warriors who have hopefully left the scene forever....nothing but disaster in practice, but would have done it all right in the dreams of the ignorant brainwashed dupes....Moonies! pffffft!

geezus....your Mr.Shamen without the color bullshit......

This Libyan War is an illegal intervention. This President didn't even go to Congress. Doesn't anyone care about the Constitution anymore?

The differences between Libya and Iraq....

1) Iraq invaded Kuwait back in the 90s which started the eventual invasion of Iraq. Libya didn't invade their neighbor, they just supported terrorists back in the 80s compared to Iraq supporting terrorists up to the invasion of Iraq.

2) Saddam was killed by the Iraqi Govt, Qadaffi was killed by a mob of terrorists that now have his weapons to use on us, other Libyans, Europeans and Israel.

3) Iraq is a more functional country and will be a better asset to the US than Libya. Libya will be a oil gateway for terrorists in Africa and into southern Europe.

10 years from now people will realize dragging out the elimination of Qadaffi and no getting his weapons away from the terrorists was a bigger mistake than not getting UBL in Tora Bora.

Juswt another stupid war that will backfire on us eventually. When will they ever learn?

No, it is not and the GOP leaders are downplaying Obama's role in it.

Bezerk has gone Bizaro.

#1 is irrelevant to anything. #2 makes no sense. #3 is flat wrong; Iraq will follow Iran's lead on matters with the West. #4 Flat wrong.

Additional #5: neo-conservatism is a mental disease.

Bush tried to assassinate Saddam on the first day of the war.

yea

That is SOOO similar

What's the difference? On the first night of 'shock and awe' the US targeted a bunker/dwelling whatever that was believed to be where Saddam Hussein was located.

Oh, and btw, didn't Reagan try to assassinate Khadaffi way back when?? Yes, I think he did.

What business of ours was a border dispute between Iraq and Kuwait?

Libya invaded Chad in the past.

 

[HUGGY]

Very good point. And this was the most blatant up front 'War for Oil' i've ever seen. Shame on the Liberal Press and all others who were cheerleading for this war.

Really? How much of the oil we use comes from Lybia? 1%?...None?

You are a moron.

Yeah, and how about that border dispute between Nazi Germany and Poland? What business of ours was that?

Europe gets more. And that number should increase for us now as well. It's only a win for Americans if they get the oil cheaper though. But i'm not counting on that happening. Where are all those sweet Iraqi oil deals? All we have to show for these stupid wars is a $16 Trillion Debt,Massive American bloodshed,and higher gas prices. Gaddafi being dead aint gonna change anything. So i wouldn't be so quick to celebrate this stuff. American Citizens wont see any benefits from it. It's a nice distraction for the politicians but our own nation continues to crumble. We need real change.

I'm really interested in hearing what Leftist orgs like Human Rights Watch have to say about this. They have a long history of inconsistency and hypocrisy.

i doubt they can say anything, it was a war battle that gadafi was involved in, that got him killed...as others in these battles were killed by gadafi's people.

Here is the issue. Obama took action with no involvement from congress. GWB has been drug thru the more crap about Iraq than any man ever deserved
Bush did it the right way, chicken, guts and feathers and if any-one was lying it was the UN. With this event we still do not know why Qaddafi was taken out and taken out by this administration. That war battle began when US fighter jets and drones bombed the living shit out of Qaddafi's defenses
Its not a matter of was it the right thing to do, we dont know. we were never told why this event has taken place

wow how was the UN lying and not Bush? I'm up in the air about whether he lied about WMDs or the intel was bad, but it was a bad war to get involved in regardless. How did the UN lie though?

We didn't get involved over that.

 

[paulitician]

It's always for the "Poor children" and "Democracy." The reality is that it's only about the oil. Europe and the U.S. could care less about Libya otherwise. Now will Americans see the cheap oil deals? Not sure. It hasn't happened in Iraq yet. So stay tuned i guess.

UN did not lie, I am not sure about Bush though his immoral stubborness in refusing to admit his wrong headedness and apologize to America is worse, abd JRK is in the jump seat with him on that.

How did the UN lie?
In reality what I should have said was Saddam lied and the UN repeated it

Chief UN weapons inspector Hans Blix remarked in January 2003 that "Iraq appears not to have come to a genuine acceptance—not even today—of the disarmament, which was demanded of it and which it needs to carry out to win the confidence of the world and to live in peace."[116] Among other things he noted that 1,000 short tons (910 t) of chemical agent were unaccounted for, information on Iraq's VX nerve agent program was missing, and that "no convincing evidence" was presented for the destruction of 8,500 litres (1,900 imp gal; 2,200 US gal) of anthrax that had been declared.[116]

There was also discussion about 6500 munitions missing. note the date
UN inspection reports provided evidence to the Security Council that Iraq had failed to account for 6,500 chemical bombs, thousand of tons of known chemical agents, empty chemical warheads (including an empty Sakr-18 chemical warhead) discovered subsequent to Iraq's declaration, and stocks of thiodiglycol (a precursor of mustard gas).
