U.S. Tomahawk Cruise Missiles Hit Targets in Libya

Well, when we first went into Afghanistan, the Taliban were defeated (initially) due to our allies in the NA and our main weapons were air assets and SF

How did that turn out?

If that is not what you were saying, than what is your response to these facts:

Look, I don't care how many times you say that Obama was born in Kenya, or that Bush had the WTC wired with explosives, it's just not true.
 
This thread is hilarious. It would be nice if the thread could at least half ass follow the title. That disappeared on the first page. It's been 17 pages of WW2, Pearl Harbor and Iraq war chat.

Morale shifts quickly. Usually, the underdog who shows uncommon valor and does exceptionally well is the exception, not the rule, which is why we admire and sometimes immortalize these cases. I think technological advantage is a natural evolution for a superior foe. Technology gives you the luxury of pulling back and arial-bombing for another week before resuming the advance if the foe is extremely determined.

But then again, the alert, aggressive, well-trained guy with the .38 snubbie has a good chance of killing the less-trained predator with a cutting-edge glock with all the bells and whistles.

And, there it is. Leadership, discipline, technical and tactical ability are the things that win battles.

No, it's an attack. Not war. With that logic, Israel was at war with the US when it attacked the USS Liberty during the Six Day War. You are either being disingenuous or purposefully obtuse to play a moronic semantic game that proves absolutely nothing. Good work! :roll:


LMAO. Anyone who think America was at war with Iran during the Iran-Iraq War cannot be taken seriously. Anything they say is purely devoid of reality.

Its not war. If the USA was attacked by fighter jets and 112 cruise misseles we wouldn't considrer it an act of war? Oh and your claim that war was not declared on Libya. War was not declared in Iraq or Afghanistan are they not wars? This has nothing to do with safeguarding the intrerests of civilians. It has everything to do with oil. Women and children where killed today in Tripoli by Obama's cruise missiles. The US has no business getting involved in a civil war when we are already stretched thin. Ahmadinejad was killing his own people during the green revolution we didn't help the protestors there. Yeman, and Bahrain killing there own people are we going to launch cruise misseles there next? BTW Sadam was killing the civilians of Iraq. Hell he used chemical weapons on the Kurds in the north of Iraq. Why is what we did in Iraq an unjust war but bombing Libya is fine? I see its only ok when a Democrat President does it. Liberals are such hypocrites.

We also weren't fighting a conventional army, like Qadaffi fields in Libya. You're not factoring all the varables, nor considering the dynamics of a battlefield.

Are the rebels being given lines of supply? Are they being trained to protect those lines of supply? Do they have the people to organize support arms units?

The truth is, the rebs are a long way from having an, "army". Qadaffi already has an army.

It isn't a video game, sometimes as much as Obama thinks and wishes it was.

The blood will be on his hands. People will die - the innocent as well as combatants

Shame on Obama

Thanks for your opinion, you can go run away from the facts now.

FDR didn't know about Pearl Harbor, before the attack took place. You're going to have to stop saying this stuff.

You seem to be missing this giant piece to your annoying rant:

ODS HOME PAGE
Protection of civilians
4. Authorizes Member States that have notified the Secretary-General,
acting nationally or through regional organizations or arrangements, and acting in
cooperation with the Secretary-General, to take all necessary measures,
notwithstanding paragraph 9 of resolution 1970 (2011), to protect civilians and
civilian populated areas under threat of attack in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya,
including Benghazi, while excluding a foreign occupation force of any form on any
part of Libyan territory, and requests the Member States concerned to inform the
Secretary-General immediately of the measures they take pursuant to the
authorization conferred by this paragraph which shall be immediately reported to
the Security Council;


What Chapter VII UNSC Resolution authorized the use of force in Iraq...?

How so?

Because he's attacking a country that didn't attack us. This is a war of choice, not of defense and only defensive wars should be fought by our country.
 
Obama has blood on his hands! The poor women and children of Tripoli. Cry for the dead babies that the warmonger Obama killed.

Typical response of someone with absolutely no retort. You can't debate facts so you just use rhetoric and asinine comments to feel like you're making a contribution.
