4. If you support this intervention for humanitarian reasons, please file your apology to George Bush at the door as you leave the anti-war camp. Every reason given on humanitarian grounds to justify this war was also given by Bush regarding Iraq. I didn't believe these things then, and having them come out of the mouth of a nominal political ally doesn't make them any more true now than they were then......
Sad to say, but even Bush was better on this score - he had the guts to actually state an objective going in. Never mind that the real objective turned out to be quite different; it was at least a standard to compare performance against. What's our objective this time? End the Qadafi regime? Then why is he not a target? Moreover, the tactics suck rotten eggs. Whose bright idea was it to throw multi-million dollar missiles at cheap, low-tech targets? We keep up that strategy and even the regime in Libya can outlast us just by hunkering down until we run out of money. Economics is a big part of war, and on that score this “kinetic military action” (Hello, Mr. Orwell? Your patent lawyer is breathlessly awaiting you on line 1) is an epic failure.
you been postin at the DUmpster again??? 8^}
LOL, what a hoot, DU lamenting this military campaign by ZERO.
I’m thinking this disagreement is ten miles wide and 1/128th inch thick.
