We could have bought his entire military for what we spent killing obsolete junk with million dollar missiles

Somebody needs to explain to our President what enforcing a No Fly Zone really means. China, Russia, India, now Brazil are complaining that the US is not abiding by the original intent of the UN resolution.

a war which has no congressional approval, a war which has nothing to do with us or NATO.

Now who should be up for war crimes here.

Notice we don’t see any not one innocent person killed on our TV’s and yet when Bush went in to war with the votes from congress then we saw all the time dead civilians.

The GOP sinless cowards couldn’t even demand he get back form his vacation when he started this war so no doubt they will not do anything about this illegal war.
Infact it was some on the left who had more balls to point out that congress was ignored than the cowardly GOP.

Just 30 percent, huh?

Well, that’s what you get when the Community Organizer-In-Chief is involved.

I’ll bet that Goofy is rolling on the floor of his tent, laughing his a$$ off.

so is the Arab league which our media ignore , so has Turkey a NATO member,
NATO was not attacked and therefore they have no right to be bombing a country which has nothing to do with them

Will the UN demand that those leaders including obama be brought forward for war crimes?

Nah course not.

Our media have done yet again a damn good job of covering for this illegal war and for their messiah.

Bush goes to congress to start a war and gets slammed off the media
Obama goes to Rio on vacation and to do a deal for Soros and Petrobas and he gets away with this war.

SICKENING

Face it: Khadaffi had just defeated Bork Obunga and America has just lost another war. Drudge is reporting US forces backing of this one and the stuff you’re reading is typical of the way losers describe military losses which aren’t quite calamitous enough to result in demands for unconditional surrender and their countries being occupied. In other words, we’re seeing the sort of language Persians used to describe the failed campaigns of Darius and Xerxes into Greece.

I heard a report on the radio very early this morning that the bombings are starting to backfire as more and more Libyans begin to rally around Gadaffi. I have not seen any such report online yet.

Soooo, we blew up weapons but no civilians were killed? I find all this “scrubbed” editorializing just too hard to not read. America has no dog in this fight unless it’s regime change but regime change to whom? Worse shar’ia law screw nuts and totus can claim he staved off a, “possible massive slaughter?” No arab in their right mind will...wait maybe totus should take a nice open convertible drive on a vistory parade in Tripoli to speak with_____ (name your terrorist thug new dictator Jew hater).

does not surprise me.

We have had reports that Bin Ladens cronies are on the rebels side, we have seen them shouting allah akbar but no we take their side in a war which has nothing to do with us and we still have the dopes on the right defending this war whilst ignoring the facts and how this is illegal.

Now we have the UN taking the side of muslims who have just killed over a 1,000 Christians this weekend, yes a weekend and they are not defended.

The whole world is in turmoil and still the GOP stay silent for the most part.
THIS IS PATHETIC

And why are the media being allowed to get away with their blatant bias, ? The GOP should be telling the media on live camera how biased they are and how they are not covering certain issues which harm obama .

There is no way this is all a coincidence since bozo the clown got into power either IMHO.

I think Iraq/Saddam and Libya/Kadhaffi are not comparable.

Why has the House not initiated impeachment proceedings? Why are the troops not refusing illegal orders? Instead they are acting as the private thugs and mercenaries of Barak Obama and his personal agenda, on the taxpayer dime and with tax-payed military equipment that was meant for the defense of the United States.

indeed.
We’ve have just seen a 1,000 Christians get killed in the ivory coast off muslims.
We never saw any rebels being killed or innocent people killed on a mass scale in Libya and notice how the media does not show any innocent people being killed by our bombs?

Compare that to Iraq and Afghanistan under Bush, Hell we don’t even hear about the kidnapped soldier off the Taliban while their messiah is in power.

So what we have is real mass slaughter off muslims and the Un and obama takes their side.
We go to war while he goes on vacation to Rio and makes a deal for Soros and Petrobas for what ?
NOTHING UNLESS THIS IS TO HELP BIN LADENS MEN of which we are doing

The West should stay out of this and allow African leaders to solve their own problem. Unfortunately, Obama agrees with me, and Kenya is part of Africa.

because doing so would push 0bama’s popularity rating from 40% to 70%.
