Libyan War Cost Skyrockets...

[LibocalypseNow]

The president did not respect the Constitution, which requires that wars be declared by Congress.

And, now, two months into the fight, the president is not respecting the War Powers Act, which requires clear consultation with Congress.

You would think that would get Republican leaders in the House angry. After all, they seem to be mad about everything Obama does.

But House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, on Friday engineered a power play that prevented congressional checking and balancing of the president on his Libya mission.

Boehner Protects Obama's Libya Mission By Engineering a Mild Rebuke While Blocking Kucinich's Real Plan to End It | The Nation

Neocons/Socialists/Progressives? Democrats/Republicans? Is there really a difference? Boehner did pull a fast one on that resolution. There was a much tougher resolution being circulated by Ron Paul & Kucinich. Boehner killed that one and instead passed a very weak rebuke of the President. It just goes to show you that they're all in bed together in the end. The Two-Party System is a joke. Boehner should be ashamed of himself.

If you really think about it, Ghaddafi gave up his WMD program and renounced terrorism, for what? for the US to bomb the pants off of him? you can bet this will make other countries think twice about abandoning their WMD programs.

That's a great point I've never thought of that.


I'm sure Ghaddafi is scum, but one thing he also has proven to be is open to diplomacy, I remember someone pretending diplomacy was a big deal to him on a certain campaign trail in 2008.

The whole thing makes no sense. A $Billion spent on bombing & killing in Libya this year? And for what? Who the hell knows?

Exactly what the link was about. The two party system is basically 2 sides of the same coin. They are both Tax-n-Spend who will liberally spend the lives of other peoples children in for-profit-wars.

Can't argue with you much on that. It's just one big exclusive club in the end. The Joke's always on us the People. It's very sad.

Ghaddafi disbanded his WMD program, renounced terrorism, helped us track Al Qaeda agents in the region, paid reparations to the victims family from the Lockerbie bombing and re-established diplomatic relations with the West, he basically did everything we wanted him to do and we took off the sanctions and removed Libya from the state terror list, why we are bombing him and condemning him now is unreal.

And now NATO & the Rebels are killing far more Civilians than Gaddafi ever could. I still don't get all the cheerleading for this Libyan War. So many people can be duped so easily. It's very depressing.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Whaaatttt???
There is a WAR in Libya????????
I call bullshit, I watch the media all the time...what war???
There is no way there is a war, when Bush started a war in Iraq - it was on TV every single day. The three networks began the broadcast with "DAY 226 etc."...what the f*ck you talking about...war...wow...what a dummy.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Obama's a fucking cowboy.

Yea obviously the MSM is dominated by biased Liberals/Democrats. I've known that for many years. CNN,NBC,and the NY Times should be ashamed of themselves for all their cheerleading for this Libyan War. Maybe they are? Because they're certainly not reporting on it too much anymore. NATO & Rebel Bombs are very likely killing more Civilians than Gaddafi ever could. And wasn't protecting the Civilians what this War was supposedly all about? This War makes no sense. And that's probably why the Liberal Press doean't want to report on it anymore. Their Democrat screwed this one up. So now they're in full 'Cover-Up Mode.' Looks like they're gonna pretend it's not happening. Now if a Republican was in there??...

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Libya never attacked us!!

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Where's bin Lad...oh right, Obama killed him...why are we still at war?

Obama's fucking cowboy diplomacy is making a mockery of the USA

 

[Dr.Drock]

I gotta apologize to Obama for claiming he didn't use diplomacy with regards to Libya.

He was diplomatic, Libya and Ghaddafi did what we asked of them, then Obama launched a countless number of cruise missiles at Libyan's heads for it.

Seems like a weird version of diplomacy though if you ask me.

 

[LibocalypseNow]

A $Billion spent on bombing Libya? For what? Doesn't seem like anyone can answer that question. It's so sad & tragic.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

If Libya didnt have oil would we even be there?

Is this Obama's personal war?

Seriously, what the fuck, can we have Obama arrested and impeached?

Damn right!
This is unAmerican!
We have how many detainees still in Gitmo that Obama announced will be held "indefinitely"??
We are returning to military tribunals...we are fighting not one, not two but THREE war fronts.
And NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW his administration is talking about TRASHING NATO!!!!!!!!!
This war loving hawk administration is cost American lives and wasting $10,000,000's every single day fighting his pet wars and illegal holding of foreign citizens!

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Obama is Cheney's Sock Puppet doing the will of the PNAC

Obama's a Fucking NeoCon.

Yea obviously it's all about Oil. "Protecting the Civilians" was Bullshit. I said that from day one. NATO & the Rebels are slaughtering Civilians on a daily basis. Gaddafi just doesn't have the Military capabilities to kill as many Civilians as NATO does. So if it's about "Protecting the Civilians",this War is a big Loss for everyone. So what's it really all about?...Oil.
