U.S. says missile strikes on Libya only "first phase"

Which is exactly why he waited ‘til the weekend and why he still skipped town

We have a problem with this. In instances like this - our Congress should step in and act - weekend or not.

So we are only ‘represented’, protected on weekdays and non-holidays????

You know, maybe this is necessary and maybe it isn’t but I have no idea what the rationale behind it is and I consider myself a fairly well informed person. What is being destablilized by keeping Quadaffi in charge? Is this purely humanitarian? Then why haven’t we intervened in other crises in Africa where we probably could have done it more easily and saved more lives? Is it oil? God forbid if it is!! The mere fact that a civil war is going on and people are getting killed is never enough of a reason for intervetion unless we are approaching some level of genocide.

I’m not going to knee jerk criticize Obama for taking this action but I don’t think I’m being unfair in saying I have no idea why we are doing it.

Things are heating up a bit.

“Apparently, BO told the Congressmen yesterday that this would be over “in a few days.””

Kaiser Willy had the same idea, too, about having lunch in Paris and dinner in Moscow, until the Belgians changed his plans. So did the North before the battle of Bull Run. Wars started in a hurry tend to linger.

Here is today’s AOL Libya NEWS. Has 500 photos. I looked at the first 150, a lot of repetition both from Benghazi and Tripoli.

Lots of just repeated recordings which is to be expected across the news links.

And so Obama now begins to kiss the Muslim Brother hood/Al Qaeda ass. You can feel the vacuum clear from the Wiite Hut to Tripoli.

It amazes me that Obama and Hillary go on & on about "consulting and agreeing with our European Allies", instead of consulting and agreeing with Congress and the American people! I really don't give a rat's behind what Nicholas Sarkozy or David Cameron has to say about this -- I didn't elect either of them. I/we did elect a Congress who haven't agreed to this. As a matter of fact, the vast majority of the American people want no part in a war with Libya.

Ironic, the propaganda that Gaddafi -- like Mubarek -- "must step aside due to the democratic will of the people" when Obama is assuming a dictatorship in completely ignoring the democratic will of the American people in pursuing the removal of Gaddafi. Ultimately, we are going to pay for nothing more that a pissing match between dictators -- our own with the EU dictators against the dictator Gaddafi! And the supposed "morality" of this is? The interest of the American people is? Nowhere! No, we are just supposed to passively turn over our money and our blood for nothing, because we are "we, the sheeple"!

So long as it ends with the butcher of tripoli taking his long overdue dirt nap, then that’s just fine with me.

Steal his basketball!!

[EveningStar]

But WWSPD? ;)

>>just look at how they change the news quickly and how they report it.
YET AGAIN THEY COVER FOR THEIR MESSIAH AND IT IS SICK TO SEE<<

It is horrific...

We are but pawns.

News is not Truth

The Earthquake in Japan was REAL news...

Everything else is contaminated with Agendas.

just went through the channels for the news and they’;re spinning this as this is good for us plus no mention about him on vacation with family and a freeloading mother in law.
