And they’re happy about the push toward Shariah law too?

Before we thump our chest, could we see what kind of whack jobs replace the current whack job?

I am sure the media will fawn all over this “victory”. They will ignore the very dangerous precedent the Libyan action established. Can you imagine the news coverage if a Republican had committed to this action? There would have been thousands of Code Stink types outside the White House every day.
I detest Quaddafi and he should have paid for Pan Am 103 decades ago. However, the “Arab Spring” has only created a more dangerous world and destabilized the Middle East. It will be the same in Libya.
At least this will free up our aircraft and resources to start bombing Syria or protecting the starving refugees in Somalia. /sarc

This is not leadership. This going along with a group. If the group had not agreed with this action, it would not have happened. In spite of the rightness or wrongness of this action.

The only way this disaster can be viewed as a success is from the standpoint of a radical Islamist who wants to destroy every US ally in the Mideast and replace him with a radical Islmaist state that virulently hates America, capitalism, and freedom. That, of course, perfectly describes the Illegal, along with his being a communist who bitterly hates America and Americans, the most recent Obamunist hateathon being the Martha's Vineyard vacation where he and Moochelle are flipping off every American who's suffered from his depression and making us pay for it. OMG. are they ever an utterly vile and contemptible pair.

Mission Accomplished? A liberal claimed the same to me today and I told him:
1) let’s see in 6 months
2) Voters dont care abour Kaddafi or Bin laden right now, they are worried about their jobs and food prices

First off, it ain’t over yet. Second, if Tripoli falls there will be a power vacuum much as there was in Baghdad. Now come the hard part. And what of Syria?
The Liberals STILL have bumper stickers on their cars about Iraq. Funny, I see no stickers regarding Libya.

Once MO-MAR the K man is gone, then the fun begins.
There will be civil wars with blood shed like never before.
This will last a long time. ZERO will get the blame, mainly because he is taking the credit now. . . . . . . .

“a matter of weeks not months” statement is vindication six months later?
I don’t think that word means what they think it means.

I doubt Zero will get the blame because the media will stop reporting on it, just as Egypt is now relegated to the back pages or not at all. Another example, how many Americans even know that Lebanon is now run by Hezbollah?

I don’t believe they ever stated explicitly that regime change was our goal. If I’m wrong please correct me.

Absolutely!
That was all a part of the MB / Hussein / AlQaeda game plan.
Don’t you love to see success at the expense of us, the crusader Americans?
Stupid American populace allowing this crap to go down!

How ridiculously political!
The current fighting is not over and when the smoke clears, the government may be much worse than Gadafi.
I realize Obama has an affinity for all things Muslim Brotherhood and anti-American, but perhaps that is the point.
