Almost got Qaddafi!

The Saudi’s were targeted by the Col several years back ...
The Saudi’s gave their approval for this operation or else we’d already be dealing with their outrage.
Today, I am ashamed of our govt, its leaders and all within the power structure. What have we become?
When you fight a war, you fight to win, not to cut off the head of the snake. We have no idea who would replace him. INSANITY RULES THE DAY!!!
Our Muslim President is setting up a Grand Caliphate, he will be a hero to billions in mud huts everywhere.
post 68.....EXACTLY
I don’t know if you are man or woman, but I could kiss you for your logical writing in post 80.......Needless to say, spot on.
Ok, you obviously did not understand WHy I posted what I did....it is precisely because as you said
“All the goofs who support Ghadafi and are rooting for his victory are no better than the idiot anti-war protesters in Vietnam, or Code Pink in the latest conflicts.”
“Bringing up supposed violations of a garbage treaty just cause are idiotic”
Uh, duh...my post is to show the hypocrisy of the left and anti-war crowd and also the absurdity of the Geneva convention roe in these wars.
I am sure that MoveOn is NOT being critical here...THAT”s why I posted this.
We are not supposed to “fret”, but as sovereigns in our own country, WE are responsible for anything done in our name. Whether we are within a few decades or days of the Return, we must stay on the side of God. We definitely do not want to be part of the “Desolator”.
I dont see myself as sovereigns..but I do vote for those who represent me...I did not vote for Obama so will not take any responsibility whatsoever for what he has brought on this country...nothing at all. However I will take resposibility if I fail to do what I can to stop his onslaught....but I do not "fret" over the outcome.
Now they’re going for regime change?
Under what provocation is the United States attacking Libya? Would Obama care for their President to kill his children?
“NATO is providing air cover in Libya solely to protect the civilian population” ...in an attempt to overthrow the government of Libya. That is an act of war. The people there are attempting to overthrow the government and we are helping them. It doesn’t matter if we personally agree that Daffy needs to go, we have no right to do so as a nation. Might does not make right. Imagine the new leaders of Libya getting their hands on nukes and fearing we might do the same again to them.
“If were going to assassinate dictators, why not the north korean dictator? “
Exactly. When do we stop? When every leader in the world is a US plant? Why not take out NK since we have 16,000 troops there protecting SK from them, seems NK is a direct threat.
I just returned from the weekend. Has nobama turned-in his Nobel Peace Prize as yet? Is he in the dock at the Hague answering why he has such blood lust and why he is bombing this country? Isn’t this a war crime or something? Maybe nobama is just implementing mooch-elle’s dictum of “Keep Moving” on omar? This is very confusing...
When he wears a uniform, though I question whether anyone is at war here. I understand NATO is simply protecting civilians, a noble cause, from the air. If Gaddafi survives, in power, he will be a threat to the west.
He's a terrorist, perhaps restrained for awhile post Reagan and post Sadaam, but he'll remember this if left in power.
You’re right on all counts.
“I understand NATO is simply protecting civilians, a noble cause, from the air.”
How did this attack “protect civilians”?
You’re asking the wrong person, it sounds like it may have killed a few. I don’t know how you protect civilians from the air, and I doubt either NATO or the White House does either.
Were US weapons used? What legal authority was there for this attack?
None that I’m aware of, it seems to be a clear violation of the War Powers Resolution/Act. US weapons wouldn’t be the issue, it would be US forces, which were used. To my knowledge without the madatory Congressional notification, and in the absence of a national emergency, we shouldn’t be there at all. I’ve not read a lot about this, you seem to imply this was a US strike, the articles I’ve seen say NATO without identifying the specific nation. Was this the US?
