PARIS (AP) -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday that the U.S. will bring "unique capabilities to bear" in Libya as a global coalition began enforcing a U.N.-authorized no-fly zone to protect civilians from Moammar Gadhafi's forces.
The world will not "sit idly by," she said at a news conference, amid fears that Gadhafi will commit "unspeakable atrocities" against his people.

Wasn't that what de’bull Rino said before she burned down the Waco nuts church and killed all of the children.

If these atrocities are against the Muslim Brotherhood, I say bring it on.

"unique capabilities to bear".........you mean like these?
To: GeronL
Exactly. Tons of "unspeakable atrocities" have occurred in the last 30 years, including during Bubba's watch.
We have been very selective in our duty to intervene.

“The world will not “sit idly by”
Oh, but you all were so happy to “sit idly by,” while thousands of freedom-loving Iranians were butchered at the hands of Khamenei and Ahmadinejad.
WHERE IS THE JUSTICE? WHERE IS THE CONSISTENCY?
UGHHHHHHHHHH! The fact that everyone has to go after Libya, but not lift a finger about Iran really ticks me off!
To: lawnguy
Its already been added to the Kearsarge wiki page that they are carrying 42 helicopters and 400 Marines off the Libyan coast for “humanitarian” reasons.

These are the same people who stood idly by while 1 million Rwandans were slaughtered.
But Libya has oil, that’s the difference.

No atrocity is unspeakable. All we have to do is convince the MSM that the Tea Party did it and....

So now we declare war on, and attack, a country because of what we "fear" "might" happen? We don't even know who is on the side we are supporting nor do we know which side is supported by the majority of the Libyan people. We say we are enforcing a "no fly zone", but we attack before there has been any attempt to fly in the zone. We say we are protecting "civilians", but we have joined in on the side of armed, muslim radicals who attacked first.
There hasn't been one opportunity to make a mistake that Obama hasn't taken, and it is always at great cost to the American people.

Gee...I wish I had said that. However, what would we have done if Khadaffi Duck had nukes like the other tosser?

If Daffy had nukes they’d probably let him have a seat on the Security Council and treat him with deference
