Why was it OK to bomb Libya but not Iran?

[Liminal]

1. Iran would be a far bigger war and it could fight back.
2. Iran isn't bombing, killing and slaughtering its people.

We'd wipe the floor with iran.
It'd be over militarily in two or three weeks. And in Iran you actually have a populace that wants to westernize.
Go in surgically and it would be over politically in two or tree weeks as well.

Nah...they're just supporting and arming terrorist all the while screaming death to America. And obammy is giving them the bomb...

We wouldn't even have to do that...we have military forces on both of Iran's borders, we could easily begin sending in weapons and training their dissidents to fight the mullahs....

Iran has more than 2 borders. Which of those neighboring countries are you suggesting that we invade in order to put troops there?

We could send carrier groups and pound them into submission without ever putting a boot on the ground. Followed up by a 'peace keeping force' to make sure the mullah loyalist dont act the fool.

I was asking the other armchair general.

Looks like you've got a thread full of empty arm chairs.

Iran would be bombed, but not by Obama, to prevent them from developing a nuclear weapon.

Bombing Iran will not stop them from developing a nuclear weapon. Iran's nuclear facilities are built deep inside of mountains. A full scale invasion 3 times the size of that used in Iraq will be needed. Iraq cost US $4.4 Trillion. We won the cold war by bankrupting Russia the same way. Once we get bogged down in a huge war like that, our country will be open to attacks from all our enemies. Life as you know it will end.

Which is why we should increase the sanctions, arm and train their opposition groups and let them deal with a well armed, well trained and funded resistance........pay them back for the killers they sent to Iraq and Afghanistan....

I wonder how sanctions would work if we were the only one's enforcing them?

Peace keeping force? Who's that?

 

[skye]

Has our feckless leader's policy "evolved" or is he just a bully who picks on those who can't fight back?

I agree

Iran is off limits for Obama as regards any military action

All his compassion for Islam is shown in his dealing with that country, as after all, Islam is part of his culture and upbringing.

However he had to prove that the US under his terrible administration, still was a power to be reckoned with.

Libya was the easy scapegoat....especially as the French did all the hard work.

Another disaster to the credit of Obama, look at Libya now a hub for terrorist action throughout the Middle East!

As usual Obama, you have managed to strentghen the enemy... and the question still, remains whose side are you on!

Who do you think?
The thing about Iran is if you got rid of the crazy ass mullahs you'd be doing the population a favor,they want to westernize.

Alex I'll take "libs are gutless cowards" for $800.

And I'll take "Neo-Clowns, dumb as a box of rocks" for $1,000.

Nope..a little to old these days.
I feel like the people of Iran are a much better candidate for democracy than Iraq.
It wouldnt take much to get them going in the right direction.

you mean ghaddafi was fighting Islamic terrorists in his country; the same reason idiots like you say we should have left saddam in Iraq.

there is no escaping left-wing hypocrisy here no matter how hard you try to play the role of insider in world geopolitics

Ghaddafi was about to commit genocide not against terrorists but against innocent men and women who did not want to be ruled by the top state sponsored (killer of Americans) terrorists in the world.

There was no genocide about to happen in Iraq when Bush sent 150,000 ground troops in.

How dumb was that when UN inspectors were finding the WMD not to exist.

The two situations have nothing in common. Only an idiot know-nothing tosses out the hypocrisy charge when hypocrisy cannot exist regarding taking out Saddam for Bush's lies and false reasons in Iraq and defending innocent people in Libya who had nothing to do with terrorism and still don't. They are victims of terrorism as well. Terrorists who are led mostly by former military members of Saddam Husseins regime that Bush did not capture or kill.

"ghaddafi was about to commit genocide...'
and so did saddam on many occasions

i always love it when you losers think you're coming back with some stinginb rebuke when all you do is reinforce the original point. the situations are exactly the same; only an idiot know-nothing thinks they arent

 

[bedowin62]

an idiot know-nothing would also be a loser who runs around regurgitating talking points about "lies and false reasons" that they have had 12 years to prove and failed.

Indeed, just a little shock & awe is all that's needed. You guys would be welcomed with sweets & flowers and after destroying all the evil WMD and installing a loyal puppet government Exxon could manage the oil fields for the benefit of the Iranian people and everyone would be happy.

YAWN; because obama/progressives have done so well over the last almost 7 years getting Iran to "unclench her fists"

 

[bedowin62]

obama's "deal" is going to result in iran getting a bomb. if you think anything different you are deluding yourself.

for the idiots that say it doesnt matter because of the doctrine of MAD, or mutually assured destruction, remember is isnt about just iran. When iran gets the bomb it will result in a regional nuclear arms race by the other oil-rich states that are sunni, to counter Shiite Iran

 

[bedowin62]

always amusing getting smarmy comments from people who rely on others to defend their nation, have people from nations that want to kill westerners that assimiliate and play nice with others even less in europe than they do in America

I love all the whining about Iran, it's already a done deal. The sanctions aren't coming back, all the Russian, Chinese, Indian, EU etc. business gurus have $$$ signs in their eyes and can't wait to sign lucrative deals with the ayatollahs.

No matter how hard Netanyahoo and his zionist AIPAC puppets cry, it won't change anything

 

[bedowin62]

YAWN. no matter how much you cry about AIPAC puppets many european countries will become islamic states and sooner rather than later
