Been several decades since we saw a headline that said “Allied forces take Tobruk...Bengahzi”. And we know Ghaddafi is no Rommel.

I for one would find it strange my thoughts are the same as someone who posts over at DU, but not you.. no not you..

You are a nut case, my credibility around here has been sound since 1999.

And in case you don't realize it,people of different parties can sometimes agree.

Take your ipad back to mom or dad as I said before you and I are done.

“Obama’s competence”

... now THERE’S an oxymoron.

Actually, let’s just dispense with the “oxy” part ...

I’m sure the anti-war American left will be on the streets today with signs like:

“No Blood For Oil!”
“Drop Obama, not bombs. Enough already!”
“This teacher says: Obama needs a time-out!”
“We are making enemies faster than we can kill them”
“We can bomb the world to pieces; we can’t bomb it to peace.”
“Conversation, not confrontation.”
“Many voices, one plea: no war in Libya!”
“Choose compassion not sides”
“Violence grows from desperation. Let’s take the high ground.”

OH WAIT....
Democrat War is GOOD WAR, with invisible dead. It’s only Republican war that’s bad to these hypocrites.

Not remotely the same thing but then I am sure that you knew that. If my neighbor needs help with a flat tire, of course I am going to help her out. If my neighbor needs help killing a bunch of people, putting my own life at risk, and I KNOW ahead of time that my only “thanks” will be a kick to the groin by said neighbor, then she and anyone that advocated for her can go straight to hell.

I probably shouldn’t bring this up, but, on this very topic it looks over there like many DU’ers agree with you.

Please tone it down a notch. FReepers have staked out positions on both sides of this issue, no need to imply common ground with DU for those you disagre with.

This was apparently a (captured) Libyan Air Force plane being shot down by a Libyan soldier... somewhat less common.

MSNBC is reporting that obama just involved us in a third Middle East war without congressional approval and may have involved us in a quagmire!!!

Four arab countries in this...UAE, Qatar, Jordon, Morrocco

It’s on...first wave will be silent..last night they mapped out the targets I understand.

MO...who began the Rebellion has been shot and died today.

Message to all is to expect a big spike in disinformation now.

Tornados from Britain are used for ground attacks.

Drones in this as well. Might have taken down the Libian jet resently and gave the oppostion to Gaddafi credit for it. I think we’ll see many times where the UN allies do the deed but credit will go to the revolutionaries.

IRC, the last time Italia and French forces fought in Libya(1941) they were handily beaten back by the unarmed natives.

Rage within can push an individual beyond the normal physical limitations.....many Muslim people are fulll of rage for the abuses to them in their country...but they will defend their “land” at all costs....that rage comes to the surface at those times.
