112 Cruise missiles - What a mistake

[Wild Cobra]

First wave of allied assault: 112 cruise missiles

Why are we defending those trying to take over an established government when we do it in the name of humanity, then kill so many ourselves?

What's wrong here...

[Wild Cobra]

Are you liberals happy that we just declared war on Libya?

It must really gall you to see him following Sarah Palin's advice on Libya.

Right... I'm sure he consulted with her.

Two individuals choosing a course of action hardly means either is following the other, does it?

[Marcus Bryant]

Come home, America.

As long as we don't get involved in ground missions, I really have no problem with a no-fly zone... same as Bush Sr did in Iraq.

[Marcus Bryant]

War #3. So much for "change" and all that other trendy bull from a couple years back.

Kadafi is definitely not a kind leader. however, the US and UN are now interfering with a sovereign nations rights to defend itself against enemies, foreign and domestic.

I'll give 5:1 odd that if Kadafi is overthrown, we will have a worse government in the aftermath to deal with than under his leadership.

[ManuBalboa]

at least the old empires would pillage after a conquest. What is our broke ass country doing.

brb bomb country

[Wild Cobra]

I tell you all...

Now that we are involved, I sure hope I am wrong.

I don't care what comes out of it. I really don't give two flying s about Lybia. However, I like the fact that the US is acting under the umbrella of a UN decision, much like Bush Sr did back in the Kuwait intervention and no-fly zone afterwards.

I wonder what the UN vote was. How many of the nations voting yes are already the more radical of Muslim nations?

Just wondering... Anyone know?

Is that what your dumb ass was saying about Iraq?

NO!

Difference here is that just about everyone agrees this needs to be done which is why the U.N. approved it UNLIKE Iraq.

You're right. Iraq was a different war for a different reason.

Please don't be so dumb as to confuse the two.

As for believing it needed to be done? The same belief lead to the overthrow of the Iranian government in 1979. Look what we have there now. I see Libya as another Iran.

[Marcus Bryant]

Continuity, not change.

[Wild Cobra]

Continuity, not change.

Whatever...

Remember. I did say I hope I'm wrong.

[DMX7]

Saddam is definitely not a kind leader. however, the US and the U.S. alone is now interfering with a sovereign nations rights to defend itself against enemies, foreign and domestic.

Were we on a liberation mission, seaching for WMDs, killing the people who helped Al-Qaeda or what in Iraq.... I always forget what the latest story is. All I know now is its Operation Clean The Up.
