Man you people are really out there.
And I do not know of any agreement we have with Syria and are Iran. Had I been in charge at the start of the Iraq war, the ninth ID would have come into Iraq from Israel and they would have stopped when the hit Kabul Afghanistan. And the Israeli air force would have been their ground sweepers.
When has Muammar Gaddafi been indicted for murder in a US court of law?
bin Laden, OTOH, has been indicted NUMEROUS times in US court - first in 1998, and several times after 9/11. Again, where is the Congressional authorization for the bombing of Muammar Gaddafi?
I believe if I remember correctly, she was against the latter and for the former.
“She’s as bloodthirsty as they come....”
Hyperbole much?
I think Treaties should be lived up too. side agreements between POTUS and othe rleaders should not be. unless the POTUS can get the majority of the Senate to agree to his/her international agreements it should be understood the agreement lasts until that POTUS that mad eit leaves office. We do not want to tie America not its national interests to that of the personal interest of a POTUS.
Treaties need to be kept the rest don’t.
I agree with your battle plan.
Yup, that's certainly an example of boots on the ground that has nothing to do with nation building (in Pakistan).
I really do not believe it is either or, it is maybe, could be, Iâ€ll get back to you on that when I decide what I think. There that covers the current Palin position on Libya.
oh so you are one of those that think we should treat these american murderers who are noncitizens under the court of law? I see. No wonder you don’t like Palin. next you will be calling for the closing of Gitmo and holding court in NYC for KSM....
I guess those murdering pirates off the coast of somlia should also be arrested if and only if they are indicted for their murders....
That sounds more like Mitch Daniels on Egypt.
"Scoop up"? You do understand that Gaddafi is not a guy without ample military resources, unlike bin Laden, right? He has access to military assets - assets in Tripoli that are fiercely loyal to him. It's going to take MUCH more than two helos of SEALs to scoop him up.
We had close to 200K American service men & women in Iraq for over 9-months BEFORE we captured Hussein.
To think that we could swoop into Tripoli and in a matter of weeks, scoop up Gaddafi, to say nothing of days or hours is folly. It's apples and oranges compared to what just happened in Pakistan. An assault on Tripoli would require a division of men, countless billions and would cause untold destruction on Libyan infrastructure and result in many civilian casualties.
To think that we could swoop into Tripoli and in a matter of weeks, scoop up Gaddafi, to say nothing of days or hours is folly.
Unbelievable. Pick another flippin' word besides "scoop". Then plug it into what I said.
The point remains.
More straw man arguments from the guy who specializes in fallacious arguments. I guess it shouldn't be surprising.
Did Osama bin Laden just get convicted in a court of law, or was he killed? I'm pretty sure he was killed.
Why is that different from the ridiculousness that's currently going on Libya? CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORIZATION.
If you want to engage a foreign sovereign using military force, then you better per US law and the Constitution, get yourself either a declaration of war or a Congressional authorization for the military use of force.
You have yet to demonstrate where that is for Gaddafi.
” Hey SJB, my singing isn’t really all that bad. LOL “
MINE is.....when I am in church, I sit next to the best singer there.......helps to drown out my croaking ;-)
Go Sarah! The naive neocons at The Weekly Standard & co have been intoxicated by The Arab Spring fever. They have lost their reason in believing that these movements are not organized, bought, and paid for by Islamist organizations like the Moslem Brotherhood. As we all saw immediately, their goal is an Islamist State and re-establishment of the Caliphate.
Already happening in Egypt, where MB is now claiming 50% of seats in new “democratically” elected Parliament.
Whoohoo! Run, Sarahcuda, run!
yeah it would take about a day to get the wimps in line to support the action.
but I guess you missed truman’s, Ike’s JFK, LBJ Nixon, Carter, Reagan, bush, Clinton, bush and Obama’s actions without congressional approval and no declaration of war.
She was the first public figure to call for intervention in Libya. I was prepared to scratch her off my list over that.
