Somebody ping Sarah Palin.

This info will come in handy when she orders Secretary Coulter to order a strike against Castro.

It’s not that simple though is it?

The Taliban, Chavez and Farakhan are against the strikes.

Are you with them then?

It’s not simple. It’s a mess.

A mess I think we might have been better off just staying out of.

"Hang the Brits" "Save Gadaffi" Your comments on unbelievable.

Your support of AQ noted.

Don't speak for me, you're not smart enough.

Your support for Gaddafi, responsible for the killing of 189 American citizens is noted.

Your call for the hanging of the Brits, who are the only ones brave enough to go after Gadaffi, is also noted.

So they decide a leader has to be taken out and then this coalition does it. Just like that. All very futuristic. Be afraid, people.

Defeat Al Qaeda in Libya Better.

I tell you what.

When you identify an Al Qaeda figure, whether it be in Libya or anywhere, you remove that creature from the planet.

While we have Gadaffi, the murderer of 189 Americans in our sites, we need to remove him.

Best.

And the save daffy is your words, not mine, mine was a no fly zone, illegal to start, is not a frigging license to kill anyone and start another war and occupation.

The Brits may still be holding a grudge because the Libyans trained the IRA bombers/terrorists in their desert training camps.

With all those boots on the ground, it would have been a realtively simple task to penetrate the rebel army, get a good reading on who they are and what they want, and report that vital political intelligence back. After all, it might have been a bit of a good idea to find out who we were crawling into political bed with before having unprotected political sex that coud give us some really bad STDs or, far worse, produce a Rosemary's Baby.

You're the one who said the we should kill the Brits responsible for the targeting of Gadaffi.

Yet it's Gadaffi, and now it's who ever killed 200 Americans soldiers in Lebanon that you defend.

And you are assuming that this isn’t exactly what has taken place?

I personally don’t know. Cannot rule it out though, I do share your concerns on the nature of the opposition. It it pretty much undisputed that it contains islamist elements.

Yet their leadership talks a good game about democracy.

I don’t trust them.

I agree. This will not sit well in the muslim world. (Prepare for a LOT of trouble).
I mean they allready accuse us (since years) that we are just a bunch of
imperialist thugs who bomb everything out of our way which stands beside us and the black gold.
And sorry to say but at the moment we look exactly like this!

Your the one who thinks there is a global jurisdiction somewhere, with the license to hang Brits.

Is it the U.N.?

I think there is a war crimes court already in existence, run by the UN and the third world countries, that is unless you have gotten it changed. But the no fly zone came from the UN, if you party with the fat lady you need to dance with her.

This is insanity. We have no reason to be over there much less assasinating this particular leader. And the UN resoltion said nothing about assassination. If we want to assassinate leaders why not look at Venezuela, NK or Iran? Those countries pose more of a threat to the US than Libya. What the heck is going on here?

I’ve seen enough that few things surprise me. But if the left swallows all this I will be truly surprised.
