Amen.
His name is spelled: Quadaffiduk
And your opinion is spot on. Not one American life for Libya.
I hope so. God be with them so they come back safe with their charges.
I am going to offer my opinion. I am just an everyday person but the way I see it....there is no way around NOT fighting the Muslims.
We are in a religious war, thats is it! The muslims and muslim countries are ruled by a religion that does not allow them to move forward in any way. They don’t believe in human rights, freedom, education...nothing. The world is moving forward and they cannot! Their only option is to bring everyone down to their level. They cannot rise to be modern societies, it is against their religion.
If we pulled out of Iraq and Afghanistan and the Jews left Israel and we let them be does anyone really think they would be satisfied? If the west did not show them how to get the oil out of the ground they would still be riding around the desert on camels killing each other and they would not have an OPEC. My gut tells me that the ME is about to EXPLODE! And all those whining lib college kids will be put in a draft lottery! Like I said, just my opinion.
Relax mom. Most likely a prepositioned MEU that is already in theater......unless your son is serving in a MEU not likely he’ll be involved. This one looks like a quick grab of US citizens left behind because of the Obama’s botched evacuation plan......The Marines involved won’t have time to even get off a post card “wish you were here!”
The left won't say a thing as long as there is no chance of winning and Americans die needlessly.
You said, “This is all about oil.”
Actually, I don’t think so. Libya isn’t even in the top 20 oil importers for the US in 2010
I think it would surprise a lot of people that the top country that we import oil from is Canada. The other top 20 countries in order are are Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Venezuela, Iraq, Angola, Brazil, Algeria, Colombia, Equador, Russia, Kuwait, United Kingdom and Argentina.
Please explain in detail.
I can think of a reason.
We don’t get our oil from them but the Italians and number of other European countries do. Thats why I’ve been saying all along let Europe handle this mess.
I don;t care what anyone says. It is as clear as the nose on obama’s two faces.
The middle east is imploding and muslims who believe that sharia is the only way are picking up the slack.
Obama is doing his best to help them along as well.
You can’t tell me that this was not orchestrated and helped along by the undocumented worker in the white house. He has been helping the terrorists and hindering our allies every step of the way.
I don’t think he is an idiot by far. I think he is a deceitful and brilliant evil person.
666 = Islam
Ugh..we dont need to be there. I hate seeing Marines get killed. They’ve done enough for us in Afghan and Iraq (anyone remember Falujah?).
Obama will milk this for all its worth and then some, and then botch up some rescue attempt a la Carter, 1979.
Great.
But...but the Obama administration is demanding that Gadhafi relinquish power immediately or else!
Libya No-Fly Zone Would Require Military Action, General Says
"My military opinion is, sir, it would be challenging," Mattis told Sen. John McCain at a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee. "You would have to remove the air defense capability in order to establish the no-fly zone so it -- no illusions here -- it would be a military operation. It wouldn't simply be telling people not to fly airplanes."
STAY OUT!!! I CAN’T CARE!!! Let the bastards kill each other off . WHO CARES??
No Blood for Oil! It’s an illegal war! Congress should have to vote for this war! Libya is a quagmire! This will only breed more terrorists! Where are the war crimes trials for Obama, Biden, and Clinton?! Obama is a war criminal! This is all to enrich Exxon Mobil, Haliburton, and defense companies! Obama = Hitler! Libya was an inside job by the CIA and Obama! World Court needs to arrest Obama!
Oh wait, my bad. It’s a democrat in the whitehouse. Cue the hypocritical silence from the liberals and MSM. And their excuse = “Oh it’s not a war! It’s a humanitarian mission.”
“By what authority does the US administration seek to intervene?
—US Constitution?
—UN Charter/rules?”
___We just friggin’ FEEL like it?;)
