Didn’t they get Hussein’s memo that NO Country may interfere in another.
Well, the displaced Mercs from Libya did have to go some place to find meaningful, gainful employment...
What is it with the Middle East anyway? Do they all stay up nights just trying to think of new ways to p*ss each other off?

They are in war-propaganda mode just like the US media (that was anti-war before the election of Obama). It is reminiscent of the reports of babies being thrown from incubators and dissidents being ground into hamburger meat during the first and second Gulf wars.
