If were going to assassinate dictators, why not the north korean dictator? He is currently the worst in the world and his demise would benefit the people of NK. Or how about seria, how many protesters have been killed there in the last couple of weeks. This seems like a slippery slope.

According to Fox News the airstrike hit a residential area. Why the hell are we killing his kids and grandkids, but not him?

Saddam’s sons were evil SOB’s, and the world was a far better place once they were splattered in the sand. Anyone know anything about these guys?

Is this a “Just War”? Should we be targeting civilians? Children?

Because Obama can do what-ever he wants.....you didn’t get the memo? If this had happened on Bush’s watch....the left and dems would be up in arms. Obama does it....*crickets*

They are the worse kind of hypocrites!

Make those airstrikes a little farther south, and he can wipe out the REAL birth certificate in Kenya!

Qaddafi himself was in the house

Snipped from http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/world/7545075.html

Gahdafi and his wife were in the Tripoli house of his 29-year-old son, Saif al-Arab Gadhafi, when it was hit by at least one missile fired by a NATO warplane, according to Livbyan spokesman Moussa Ibrahim.

During Bush’s years, they would have all been over there being used as human shields or at least feigning outrage of some kind.

Same can be said of Iraq.

Saddam was the enemy of Iran.

Unacceptable! Now the Colonel is going to be pissed off and could be a danger to the West if he somehow hangs on. Perhaps we’ll have to send in the Marines to clean the fracked up mess. Gee, I’m going to have to vote for Ron Paul now.
