More than 112 Tomahawk cruise missiles struck over 20 targets inside Libya today in the opening phase of an international military operation the Pentagon said was aimed at stopping attacks led by Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and enforcing a U.N.-backed no-fly zone.

We are implementing a no fly zone. First Libya's air defenses have to be destroyed. We are not getting into another unnecessary war. Obama isn't that stupid.
 
It is war but on a very limited level currently
 
It's about time.
 
Let the fun begin... let's see how the Libs can twist and spin their way out of War No.3... Obama's War:
A note from the editor: not all folks quoted may be Libs.

Ahhh... sending 112 rockets is not an act of war. Not when they're directed by a Commi Lib. Then it's a "humanitarian mission".

"Libya's air defenses have to be destroyed", and such destruction using American rockets does not constitute and act of war? Since when? I think even the Kanuckistani's would consider 112 rockets into their country an act of war.

There we go... at least someone is willing to admit it's Obama's War.

Not much of a war. I hope Obama does a better job than the last knucklehead.

tomahawk cruise missiles....when you absolutely , positively, need to blow something the hell up, no other missile will do.

It's not a humanitarian effort. It's a war. War is never a humanitarian effort. It is only an anti-humanitarian effort.
 
It's right on time.

Bit delayed. If we had decided to do this 10 days ago, with a coalition of France, England, Canada, UAE, Qatar and Jordan, without waiting for the diplomacy to work its way through some illusion of legitimacy, when it is clearly legitimate without UN approval, we would have saved thousands of lives and left the freedom forces in a much better strategic and tactical position. Now, even though tanks and artillery will be chased away from Bengazi, the flow of death squads in unmarked pickup trucks will continue.

It is a war. No doubt. It is a perfectly legitimate war by the rules of Just War. Humanitarian Intervention.
 
The UN has authorized and enforced the no-fly zone, I don't see a problem with the US participating.

If ground troops go, I'd oppose that.

With all due respect, the Tomahawk cruise missile is not a "rocket." It is 3000lb GPS guided missile with a 1350 mile range that was capable of carrying a W80 nuclear warhead. These were decommissioned in accordance with the SALT treaty, though.

It's not war. There have been no formal declarations of war. They are safeguarding the interests of the civilians of Libya. Again, it's not war.

Oh I see, this is why you were so down on Obama for not foolishly rushing to attack without UN consensus, so that you wouldn't have to wait so long to chastise him once he was part of the effort to protect Libyians.

Those death squads can be beaten by the rebels as they have done before. It was the heavy armour and artillery that the rebels have had hard time dealing with

I wanted to highlight this for all of you who feel UN approval is so damn necessary. Seeking the fig leaf of UN approval had significant costs. It was not necessary.

Yes, but they would have been able to deal with them in Ras Lanuf, Misurata and Az Zawiyah, instead of Bengazi with the initiative of the rebels completely reversed and Ras Lanuf lost, Misurata who knows and Az Zawiyah decimated.

Stopping a moron who lost a war from terrorizing his citizens, using WMD on them, and protecting others from WMD finding its way to terrorists was also humanitarian in ways that dwarf this, but it didn't register with the Rote Lib Faktion.

We don't need the stinking corrupt UN, The Kerry/Lib Doctrine to authorize our use of force.

Hm, I respect the desire of Americans to help but what about sovereignty? Why not leave the Libyans deal with their own internal affairs?
The Vietnam war was undeclared too. So, was it a war or not?

Death squads.... Do they have socialised healthcare in Libya?

I don't care who you are, when a country's military starts bombing another country's military that's war by definition. Calling it anything else is just propaganda.

It's the eighth anniversary of Bush's invasion of Iraq, now there is the real warmonger. He needlessly got thousands of Americans killed or maimed for life with his stupidity.
