“wow he did not take the 3am call and still has good poll numbers? what do I need to do now?”
the Budda would be hit first
.... on CNN's "State of the Union," Lieberman.. and McCain ...backed the call for a no-fly zone to cripple dictator Moammar Gadhafi's forces. But they went further."I begin with the imposition of a no-fly zone so that Gadhafi can't be attacking his own people from the air or flying in more mercenaries," Lieberman said.McCain agreed, adding that the United States should"make sure that every one of the mercenaries know that any acts they commit they will find themselves in front a war crimes tribunal. Get tough."
These two BONEHEADS should STFU about "mercenaries" and "a war crimes tribunal" as WE used "mercenaries" all the time in Iraq, and still do. We just call them 'Security Contractors'.
So if these dipwads don't want to see hundreds of US Citizens sitting in front of some 'War Crimes judge' from Botswana, I suggest they keep their yaps shut about "mercenaries".
And not to get technical, but what would give the USA the legal authority to impose a 'no-fly-zone' over a country that WE are not at war with, or that posses no direct threat to our national security, or national interests? I'm pretty sure that without Congress issuing a formal declaration of WAR with Libya, the answer is -- NONE.
Hey Hillary question for you where are the guys going to come from to do the fighting, Remember that guy you call your marital partner the one whom did Monica in the WH, Yeah that one you call Bill. he decided to downsize the military. remeber the military service members are in Iraq and Afghanistan in two war zones, and there is that police action over there on the Korean DMZ 38th parallel. You remember that one too, don’t you.
I have the perfect solution, hillary you go to Libya and guess what they see you they will think the fattened calf has shown up couresy of the 12th Imam and they we stop fighting throw down their arms and start prayer to Allah.
really where are the soldiers, marines and so forth to come for. Oh, I forget selective service and imposing the draft, Okay that will really help Obama get re-elected another war with the faggots allowed to serve without having to say their gay or not. Yes, I also remember women will be forced to openly serve on the front lines in combat. Great leadership there in DC.
Send in the clowns Hillary, Odumbo, bite Me, Bill Clinton, William Ayers Bernadine dorn, Van Jones allow them to talk with Qaddaffi see how your paths to peace will work with Qaddaffi and his 4o thiefs strung out on drugs.
Urinal euphoria.
Of late, I have become more and more non-interventionist in nature. However, I would talk to the surrounding countries and cut a deal with them. I would tell them that all military transport into the country will be challenged and shot down if they do not divert to a non-Libyan airport for inspection. Let the neighbors inspect the planes for mercenaries and resolve it in their own manner.
We have been acting without legal authority so much recently, I don’t think that it would matter that much. There are still Americans in the country and we could say that we were protecting our people. It would stop the flow of mercenaries which nobody would condemn. If our state dept was smart, they could arrange something with regional powers or NATO that would limit our exposure anyway. That’s their freakin job.
It would also generate alot of good will in the muslim world, of which we have none at present. And we would not have to put a boot on the ground or face much if any threat to our pilots. All I am saying is stop the flow of mercenaries and let Libyans solve their own problems. How long has it been since we did something that the muslims would rally behind and consider us the good guys?
sorry folks, the US is broke, no more money to give!
Thanks Condor51! You’ve provided some sanity to this discussion. Do you think Hilary or Obama KNOW exactly who they are offering all this help to? Are they sure these “revolutionaries” are someone we would want to “help”?
I’m genuinely asking your opinion because you sound as if you have some reasonable thinking going on.
What ever happened? It’s all gone!
huh? i THOUGHT Hussein the great and mighty statesman has repeatedly said we weren’t going to interfere in any sovereign state.
I can hardly wait for the networks “news” shows to rake Hussein over the coals for his mixed signals.
BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. Yeah, like THAT will happen.
As to Hillary, Obama, McCain, Lieberman and the rest of their ilk; I don't think they have a clue as to who these 'revolutionaries' really are, or whose behind them.
And as bad as Gadhafi and these Arab 'Kings' and Sheik 'tyrants' are, I don't think they're as bad as what will replace them -- like really INSANE Muslims with a wish for world wide war with the infidels and a new Caliphate ruling over all. The Muslim Brotherhood being number one on the wish for war. Allied with them, for now anyway, are the communists and socialists who are egging the people on for 'change', with Iran waiting in the wings ready to arm them.
Keep in mind that since the assassination of Anwar Sadat in 1981 (30 yrs) all of Northern Africa has been peaceful and it was relatively safe for Americans to travel to any of those countries for a vacation. Not any more.(1)
Caveat; I do think Obama knows deep down who these whack jobs are, their ultimate intent and that the Muslim Brotherhood is in the mix. But since he hates America and Israel so much, he doesn't care about the ultimate consequences. From his Marxist brainwashing a Socialist State or Caliphate is okay by him - it's 'Social Justice'.
(1) That ticks me of as I really wanted to see Egypt - from the Pyramids at Giza to he Temple at Luxor - before 'my time was up'. Now I never will.
Uhhhh- Bush-1 did that. Slick just continued the policy.
