well find some arab nations to help us bomb the Libyan stone throwers ...if by "help", you mean "sell us oil", then you're probably right.

that a coalition including the United States, France, Britain, Canada and ItalyItaly, France, hohoho.
I'm Italian and the last time we fought a good battle was before the Romans fought the Huns.
What is Berlusconi gonna provide, the camp followers?
The Italian Army was involved in WWII for about a week, I think they held out one day longer than the French.
It's an English speaking trio of countries against the mooselimbs.
Kill them all and give the land to the French and Italians.

Bush also had 100% Congressional approval AND UN approval.
WMD??? Stop being stupid with that issue. Iraq had them and everyone knows it.

After 787 days of systematically punishing our allies and rewarding our enemies I’m surprised that we have 5 friends to form a coalition.

I suspect Libya will be partitioned. And, that’s just the beginning for the N. African & ME region.
2011 is shaping up to be the yr of the unexpected.

Iraq should have been split more-or-less along ethnic lines and set at each others’ throats.
Turkey deserved an independent and hostile Kurdistan on its border as a special reward for its “coöperation” at the start of the war.
But what do I know?

First, I LOLed hard.
Then, I realized you are 100% right.
It doesn’t seem quite as funny now.

Wow...how times sure have changed. Now
5 countries make up a coalition? They along with a single UN resolution and no Congressional approval now constitutes a legitimate declaration of war on a country? A sovereign nation that has not threatened us nor harbored those who would do us harm, nor have launched a war of aggression against their neighbors, nor do they possess or plan on making WMD and have not violated more than a dozen UN resolutions? This is what passes for a legal war these days?
From an article Saturday, March 19, 2011 7:05 pm:
In a joint statement to Gadhafi late Friday, the United States, Britain and France backed by unspecified Arab countries...
Yeah, unspecified because they do not exist, but hey, the "coalition" is hoping some of them will join them.
According to this website there were 52 countries in the Coalition of the Willing in March-April 2003, 15 of which provided boots on the ground. In March 2004 there were 53 countries with 34 providing troops.
17 UN resolutions were promptly ignored by Iraq along with harboring of known terrorists, large payments to suicide bombers, known terrorist training camps, WMD and its use on their citizens, over a year of warnings and a Congressional Joint Resolution to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq and all of these led to an illegal, immoral, war of choice and agression by President George W. Bush.
But this fiasco? All is well in Barry's World. [BARF!]

Im surprised that we have 5 friends to form a coalition. Interesting thought...perhaps this is the olive branch being offered? Barry may be concerned that these "friends" would come to the aid of American "rebel forces" when the time comes, if he did not help them when they asked.
