Yoni, but I stated by my statement that dude just jacks off to the images of Tomahawks being lauched.
I'm seeing pretty much across the board agreement in here for a change...

I don't think we're currently *in* Libya.
When did the ground troops invade?
Libya? Never met her.
You're like the re ed version of Chump Dumper.
When are you filing suit against the UN and NATO?
When did I advocate suing the UN and NATO?
Which Nobel Peace Prize winner has fired more Tomahawk missiles than all the rest combined?
But we have the UN's permission. And it is
a humanitarian effort. Not war.
I'm glad we're using the surplus of tomahawks and helping out ppl for a change.
I contend we should have killed that prick when one of his ambassador's defected and claimed Kaddafi had personally ordered the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.
I think our mission should be to kill him and any of the regime that still supports him...then, let the Libyans sort out the rest.
Next, on to Iran; a country responsible for more American deaths than al Qaeda.
Finally, Syria.
Maybe by then, those assholes will understand not to with us. And, if not, we'll kill some more.
Taking down the leader of Iraq certainly turned that country into a utopia overnight. Those people continually bless the US today for our intervention, and it certainly didn't become a quagmire.
As always, the only way to be powerful is to use said power. Restraint is for the weak.
Somebody watched an extra episode of Walker, Texas Ranger today............
Technically and officially speaking, we haven't gotten any closer than the Mediterranean... I'm sure unofficially we probably have a few Rambos on the loose out there.
Ultimately, this should be a shorter stint than operation desert storm, and ground troops shouldn't be involved at all.
Excellent programming.
I don't want a long drawn out war, but I'm glad we're being active with the Libya situation. Wish we acted earlier. I'm hopeful our participation helps the Libyan people, aswell as the rest of the region indirectly. I'd prefer to see us use our full force and capabilities rather than being a reluctant participant that is scared of any fall out.
I also see the downfall of our actions though. Obviously we're not going into every country that has a little issue here and there. Part of me hates the big bully America imposing their might on governments that aren't our own. Politically and perhaps morally it's probably not the right decision. But I'm for it all the same.
Hopefully it will be done in an expeditious manner with limited loss of life. Hopefully Qaddafi is taken out fully and his replacement doesn't turn out to be worse than him.
Ah, but therein lies the rub. Been keeping up with Egypt?
Bomb the unholy out of any poor dumb bas supporting Ghadafi who is stupid enough to fly a plane, or get into an APC or armored vehicle, then let the Libyans themselves clean up.
Funnel aid, food, etc. into Benghazi, and let them fight it out.
As covertly as possible, arm and train rebels controlling Benghazi.
As Moamar's funds dry up, the loyalty he has bought will too.
Other than some covert trainers, I don't think we need any troops anywhere near there. Better yet, pay someone else entirely to do that covert training.
The more we jump in, the worse it will be for everyone involved.
Unless of course the people of Syria do something silly and vote in a government that is friendly with Iran.
Funny thing, that when you give people free determination of their destiny, they are free to choose things or governments you might not like.
Or as you put so succinctly recently:
I have little doubt that if the Syrians had the gall to elect a pro-Iranian government, that conservatives in this country would be complaining heavily about democracy.
Conservatives in this country have been complaining heavily about democracy ever since the 2008 presidential election in the U.S.Unless of course the people of Syria do something silly and vote in a government that is friendly with Iran.

As I am sure, many Democrats will be complaining about democracy as this years bumper crop of Republican representatives do their thang.
Just trying to be fair.
Even though I may be something of a blue dog Democrat, I can be honest about the way things are.
