What genocide in Libya.
Indiscriminate use of the word has cheapened it.
Libya is a civil war. Civilians tend to die in them. Since civilians do a lot of the fighting.
Ever wonder how quickly the Libyan rebels got arms and the ability to use them. Could Kadafi be correct about AQ in the midst of the fighters?
“People are being slaughtered in Libya. IS this going on in Bahrain, as well?”
One Time get this! The Government of Bahrain is OUR FRIEND! whatever they do to keep order and destroy Iranian terrorists is fine with me.
We took his wife and daughter. He did pay back. n/s
I have a friend in Bahrain. A teacher. And I know we need to help them if the Saudi’s fail.
“I have a friend in Bahrain. A teacher. And I know we need to help them if the Saudi’s fail.”
I agree 100%
Exactly, save our powder for when we really need it instead of the Libyan sideshow.
That is a prescription for endless war. What about Myanmar, Tibet, North Korea, Zimbabwe, etc. etc.
Evidently not. Obustme is gonna be whoopin' it up in Rio!
(Blame it on Rio).
Agreed. See #4
I am focused on Libya. ON the man who sent a passenger jet to the ground. A man Reagan used our military to retaliate against, once upon a time.
And right now, I am concerned about this terrorist who wails about AQ, something I find hilarious, when he himself is a terrorist.
But 'let them all eat cake'.
We differ in opinion. And when inept presidents send our military on missions unprepared and 'somalias' happen, I HATE IT. But none of us know, as in Iran, the true nature of the uprisers. But all of us know slaughter. And none of us are immune to the uprising of terrorism and knowledge of those who lead it. Omar is a leader. Which is exactly why he had the notice sent out that civilians will be targets if the sanctity of his nation is invaded by outside forces. Flip side-nothing new there. Just ask the families of the Lockerbie horror.
It’s their Civil War, let them fight it. Would we want the UN involved in our affairs?
“Japan is our friend, too.

Japan! I loved it there and feel bad for those people, real bad!
The “Duck” is easy,One sub launched cruise missile,But committing US forces, Never!
“’....this horrific slaughter that creep is engineering in Libya.”
By “that creep” I believe you refer to the SCUM named Quadaffy (or what the hell)...
Two questions:
1. Do you think America should send it’s troops/dwindling treasure into a THIRD war into a muslim hellhole and....
2. Would you send YOUR son or daughter in to DIE for Libyans? A nation with demonstrated HOSTILITY to America and Americans?
If we enter into a war on the streets over socialism vs our democratic republic, then I hope my side will willingly take help from our foreign democratic friends if offered. If the power and force of the opposition has the weaponry that is available via our military ( in which I hope most would resign) or civil militias like uhbama hinted at, I would be more than grateful to any help from foreign friends.
UN? Airstrikes? What are they flying, Spads?
Some astute graphics oriented FReeper post appropriate WW1 Graphic.
“help from our foreign democratic friends if offered.”
There are some of those around?
Then the UN (whoever that means) better jump on this guy with both feet.
No half measures.
The body scanner crap convinced me. SInce when do we allow packs of terrorists to determine our way of life?
The number is probably dwindling as measured by uhbama’s days in office, for sure.
it sounds great but freedom means different things to different cultures. In the mideast their freedom revolution will certainly lead to another mullah controlled, Iran style “freedom.” I feel that all these revolutions are part of a concerted movement to advance the cause of Islam, which is, of course, total domination of the world. I don't know who is pulling the strings, but IMO, there are strings being pulled.
