U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says the U.S. will bring "unique capabilities to bear" in Libya as a global coalition begins enforcing a U.N.-authorized no-fly zone to protect civilians from Moammar Gadhafi's forces.

No, Cankles, an "International Order" is NOT in the best interest of the United States.

I wish someone would answer just one question for me.

Exactly why, precisely, the hell, is what happens in Libya our problem?

The “International Order” deemed their deaths necessary.

Its the BUSH DOCTRINE for the Mid East, all over again.

maybe the GOP should start chanting “Unilateral intervention” ? Oh, that was the MSM and Dems chanting it and denying the facts on the Iraq “Invasion”.

I think this war at 10,000 feet is like Obama flying over the “Midwest USA”....no much will happen on the ground because of it. Too little, too late, and hope for change may not yield the desired results. Good luck Rebels, Obama has spoken from Brazil, and his words are empty.

Yeah, he was.

We're living in an Alice In Wonderland world. I thought Gadaffi was the crazy one. maybe I had better step back and re-evaluate the situation.

No,no,no... You just don’t understand....

Democrat ObamaWar is a kinder, more gentle way of killing people, that makes the dead completely invisible to any US network TV camera.

Just ask any anti-war liberal about this.

Obama needs an enemy to get America united around him. Iran was impossible for Obama to go after. They both share the same feelings towards Islam.

I have a hunch military action at this point in his administration had been planned long ago to coincide with the 2012 election. When we're at war they believe the incumbent has even more of a chance to get reelected.

They just had no idea which country it would be.

Nearly a year of debate in congress and the UN before Bush got approval from both to “rush to war”.

Obama holds out for 3 freakin weeks and doesn’t even bother talking to congress and liberals call him “retrained”.

I said the same last week, we have no dog in this fight and all the supporters are doing is giving o’bummer a greater chance of reelection.

And Iran

Difference is, Relatively speaking Gadaffi and US were warming up to each other compared to our relationships with Iran and North Korea.

In other words, North Korea and Iran are more of a threat to America so Obama's not going to go after them.

Clinton says that "we have every reason to fear that left unchecked, Gadhafi will commit unspeakable atrocities."

Clinton, a writer for Glamour Magazine...

because Libya is where Italy and France get a lot of their oil and where they and Germany have a lot of business investment which Qadaffi has threatened to destroy

Think of the european businessmen, think of the humanity...

Remember 25 years ago, we lost an F-11 and brave pilot out of Lakenheath because France would not let our guys fly through fench airspace to attack Qadaffi’s radars after he killed a US serviceman and threatened international shipping in the Gulf of Surt.

Bah. Humbug.
