"permanent vacationer"

It's a toss-up to me.

Does he do more damage when he is on vacation? Or following out his orders in the white hut?

Your glib calls for a policy of extermination, of a ‘will to kill” which presumebly includes wiping out unarmed civilians, characterizes you as a civilan. Our service men and women are professionals and hold themselves to a higher moral standard. Meanwhile it begs the question, how will we “win” in Libya with such tactics that you call for??

I define this war as training, because of the total superiority of the Allied (U.N.)forces. Don’t throw around the word idiot lest you be one.

It is in support of those men that I’m calling bull****.

If they are murderers, what we are doing in Libya is murder.

OK! Now I get it.

My service men have been getting killed because of your liberal unwillingness to kill. Collateral damage is an ugly reality of war, but it is also the tool that liberals have been using to kill are men.

Your callous disregard for innocent life, delusions as to modern warfare, and kneepadding obama is disturbing.

I am convinced you are a plant from DU here to stir up trouble.

Why? Because genocide would happen. And Quadaffi would kill thousands.

they're all mussies , they kill you the first chance they get. Who are the bad guys in this civil war, the Mussie brotherhood or Quadaffi ,

The way I see it both sides are evil ,let them fight it out amongst themselves .

Thanks, got to 118 before I got to 122, which answered whatever my original question was. 118 cleared up a bunch.

And the rebels won’t do the same thing if they come out on top?
You need to get a grip on reality, here.

Are you insane. Have you really not studied WW2, WW1, any war. You amount to the people who packed picnic baskets during the Civil War.

Talking to yourself again? That’s a bad sign. I’d suggest putting down the donut and going for a walk. Good day.

No I was talking to you. And this conversation can deteriorate to “ I know you are but what am I?” If you really want it to.

LOL! Have you seen the "rebels??" - Ever met any of these wonderful people?

Why?
Because genocide would happen.
And Quadaffi the rebels would kill thousands.

It is callous by the way. That is why I don’t like to think about what it will take us to win against radical Islam.

>In the future, the rebels may turn out to be bad,

In the future??? These are just islamic tribes jostling for power.

Right. What a complete failure of logical thought.

If we are on the “good” side now by supporting the more radical islamic tribes that have been supressed in Libya then the good side in Iran is the Mullahs and the current government in Iran.
They are different parts or areas comprising the exact same thing that shares the exact same goal.
