Sad day :(
Another worthless conflict our kids will wind up dying over.
What about Yemen ? What about Bahrain ? What about Saudi Arabia ?
What about every other dictator in the world ?
Are we now setting a dangerous and slippery precedent ?
I commend Germany for abstaining. Least they still have balls!

If they really wanted Kadafi(however it's spelled)out, they send in special forces and be done with him in a day. You don't think there's really an underlying political agenda do you?:poke::laugh:

Re: So now without congressional approval Obama has allowed the UN to commit us to Li

It ain't even the USA that's driving this. It ain't oil. It ain't about the people.
It's the FRENCH ! Sarkozy is driving the whole UN resolution. Libya owes the French billions as a result of loans to Libya for weapons and technology. Now in an effort to protect their investments the world in going to Libya. Sarkozy was just on saying 'We do not wish to direct or assist in anything , only want to stop the killing of innocents' ?
But French jets are right now attacking Libyan tanks ?
Is this not assisting the opposition ?

Maybe they were close to their expiration date :laugh:


Strange. A population rises up against it's govt, govt uses military to repell and put down uprising. Now Intl community intervenes.
Anyone think the US govt wouldn't use the military on it's own citizens if same thing were to happen here? Now since it's ok for our military to intervene in Libya it will be ok for china and Russia to send their military to attack our govt in defense of the poor civilians right ?
 
Re: So now without congressional approval Obama has allowed the UN to commit us to Li

The administration allowing the rest of the world to decide US policy scares the hell out of me. Most of the world wants to see us fall and we're letting them call the shots? And (I almost forgot as quickly as the Democrats) what's our exit strategy?
 
Re: So now without congressional approval Obama has allowed the UN to commit us to Li

What's really amazing is that I haven't head a WORD from Moveon.org, Cindy Sheehan, etc. President doesn't need permission in the short term for this neither did GWB. If we are smart we'll let The French do this'they need to do a little fighting instead of hiding for a change anyway. About time they dis something to earn their NATO membership.

I'm still trying to understand Obama's leadership role, which he is now desperate to hand off. If France and the UK really were the driving force how is the U.S. in the leadership role?

Seems more likely Obama was the one getting the ball rolling behind the scenes hiding behind the French. They got the resolution thru the U.N. and Obama gets to say he's just enforcing the U.N. resolution, it's not my War, but some how he is leading it?????? He's fired his missiles now he's done and stepping down?

The mission is to protect civilians? I guess they mean the civilian anti government rebels. How many pro government civilians are in Benghazi? Other than dead ones.

If Obama wants to get the U.S. involved then commit, take the Leadership role and do it! Puttin' a few missiles in the air and then running is pathetic. Next thing you know he'll be apologizing for it.

Hillary wonders why Gaddafi doesn't just quit? Because he KNOWS we don't have the balls to stay the course and we don't fight to WIN. Geezus Obama quit before he started.

Funny how they want to say 'we don't want to influence things' but we have established air superiority and are dropping bombs in support of them?

No No, We are dropping bombs to protect civilians. At least till the weekend when the "Leader"? of the Free World is set to wash his hands of it. The Capt of a high school football team has more leadership ability.

Never served with the French, have you?

If you had, you wouldn't make such a stupid, misinformed comment.
 
Re: So now without congressional approval Obama has allowed the UN to commit us to Li

I think it's interesting that in the case of Egypt, Obama used his influence to get Mubarak to step down, paving the way for Islamic radicals who have stated that they want to bring in Sharia law.
The same people are behind the uprising in Libya but Gaddafi won't let them take over, so Obama uses US military power to attack Gaddafi.

Very interesting.
Obama denies being a Muslim but his every action seems to be weighted in support of extreme Islamists.

No, I have never served with the French, but I have served. But when was the last time that they REALLY participated in a NATO Operation? Led one?

I don't have any problem with the French soldiers; they are all tough fighters. But their predominately socialist government leaves a lot to be desired in my mind. At least Sarkozy seems to have some gonads and is trying to change things.

The fact is, Libya is not in the direct national security interest of the United States; and the President has not made his case to the American People nor Congress, while it IS in the DIRECT National Security Interest of France and Italy. For the US, this is a lose-lose coalition that we are, at the moment, LEADING. I say those that have the greatest interest step up.

And it gets even better: Obama is considering Jamie Gorelick for the position of Director of the FBI!!!

Woman Tied to 9/11, Fannie Mae on Obama's FBI Shortlist! - Jamie Gorelick - Fox Nation

This is the imbecile who created the wall between the CIA, the Fed's and the Police, preventing them from sharing information regarding possible attacks on America, then she went on to serve as Vice Chairman of the Federal National Mortgage Association, where she carried out Bill Clinton's orders that subprime loans be handed out to people who should never have been lent money!

Good bye, America. It was nice knowing you.
