U.S. Military Repositions Forces in Preparation for Libya Response

Edit : Sorry, did not notice that you already caught on to that he is NOT...

So true, he is NOT bombing his people... at least not in the ways that had been reported.

I don't know. The credibility of RT is really really bad. They once reported on the obesity epidemic in the Armed Forces of the USA. And their main picture was of this:

Mind you the caption was not there. But still. You would have expected them to do some more research. But no they decided to post a picture of an airsofter and try to pass him as an American soldier. Then if you watch the channel for anything. Its mostly anti-American reports and then pro-Russian reports. So yeah.
 
When did you kick the **** out of the Brits? The French won your War of Independence for you, and you lost the War of 1812

So the Brits would rather have been defeated by FRANCE??? And if the Brits won the War of 1812 why didn’t they occupy all that they had conquered?

Personally, I think the war of 1812 was more a stalemate than anything else. But victory in a war is not the same as conquering territory.

All news agencies are fallible and need to be taken with a grain of salt, BUT, the US has been posturing to invade on some level, so I can see US influenced media to desire to inspire hatred for Ghadaffi (sp?)...so, in this particular case, we could examine other international news sources to see their positions on the issue...

Edit : that picture is pretty funny...

The US doesn't need to invade. Let the Italians do it.....ok that was a joke. According to some news sources the US SOF's are already in Libya. Training the Anti-Gadhafi crowd. So I think that is as far as we are going to be going.

I doubt that is ALL they would be doing, in honesty.... but EVEN doing that is 'picking sides'... what happens if ghadaffi beats down the resistance?? Are they going to create MORE resistance fighters>?? Are they going to stir up civil war to accomplish the objectives?? Are they going to dress themselves as rebels ??

Not a good idea from the get go.
 
I would? I'm a Russian-born Englishman. The two nations I represent are the two which one the Second World War. Pray tell why on Earth I'd be wearing lederhosen? It's you who ought to be thanking us for beating the Germans in two consecutive world wars, while the cowardly Americans stayed out until they knew which side was going to win.

You jokers didn't have a prayer without us. Neville Chamberlin et al was the order of the day for you sheep. Lend lease was what kept the Russians in supplies. And then they reniged on their debts to us. Such a rewriting of history in your mind is so easily reduced to complete rubble.
I understand why you would have an inferiority complex by this date, but try and snap out of it before you polish the Queens slippers.

Isn't that as far as Kennedy wanted to go in Nam?

Mate, just look at the sheer statistics. The death toll, on each side. Even Wikipedia proves your nationalist bull**** wrong. Take a gander.

I cannot explain to you how insulting it is to the millions of Imperial and Soviet dead that you think throwing money at the problem, Lend Lease, and the Americans finally entering the War in Europe in 1944 after the Nazis were already in retreat, is somehow equivalent to the Britain withstanding the Blitz, fighting the Nazis alone for two years, and the Soviet Union beating back the largest military operation in the history of man.

Wikipedia, the last refuge of the incompetent.
What a bunch of bald faced lies.

As sorry as I am for the Russian people themselves, since they suffered millions upon millions of losses in WWII, the fact is that happened only because Hitler stabbed Stalin in the back. Stalin had planned to be Hitler's ally. Instead, he became Hitler's stooge, and in doing so inadvertently turned the war around to the allies' favor.
