If this is the right decision today then it was the right decision weeks ago when the rebels still controlled most of Libya. However, now that the US and our allies are finally acting I support the President and his efforts. I hope it isn’t too late.

What happened to “Gaddafi must leave”? UN 1973 doesn’t mention it.

I have lots of problems with the initial stages and especially the lack of US attacks against Gaddafi’s ground forces. Perhaps that is coming. The lack of US carriers in the Med is astounding.

So far we have attacked Quacky’s air defense. The one weapons system he’s not using against the rebels. This is of course necessary to establish a NFZ but it isn’t helping the people fighting in Benghazi right now.

Three B-2 stealth bombers have dropped 40 bombs on a major Libyan airfield - Daily Air Force Defense and Aviation

Three B-2 stealth bombers have dropped 40 bombs on a major Libyan airfield:

"Three B-2 stealth bombers flying non-stop from the United States have dropped 40 bombs on a major Libyan airfield tonight in an attempt to destroy much of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi's air force, CBS News David Martin reports.

At the same time, US Air Force fighter jets conducted missions searching for Libyan ground forces to attack. No US aircraft were lost during the missions. Libyan state TV is reporting that air strikes have killed 48 people and wounded 150 in "civilian areas."

Libyan state TV is controlled by Muammar Qaddafi's government and it was impossible to confirm the reports of civilian deaths Saturday."

Libyan television reported citing military officials that at least 50 civilians were killed and over 150 wounded in military attacks of the coalition forces, adding that many health and education facilities were ruined.

Obama is airraiding cities and killing civilians.
Where are the ground troops Mr. President? Or are you satisfied simply airraiding cities and killing and maiming innocent civilians? Where are the leftists on the streets in protest? Where is Jane Fonda? Where is your outrage at dead civilians? Will we begin seeing a body count in Libya?
Remember this?

It seems Gaddafi Duck believes he is at WAR. "Unprecedented... eeeeveeehn."

He said that the military operation launched by the United States and its allies was an "unprecedented war"

"This is a new crusade, unprecedented in its treachery. All traitors who will collaborate will be immediately eliminated," Gaddafi said.

The Libyan leader also said that Libya was preparing for a long-lasting war with foreign aggressors.

Seems like Gaddafi Duck is going all-in.

I wonder if I did a search on the wars during Bush's administration, what would I find you saying. You want to save me the trouble, and tell me?

For now. They're certainly not needed to interfere in a civil war in a nation we don't give a crap about.

IMO both you and Spud are correct about the use of cruise missiles.

They are effective against fixed targets like SAM and AAA sites in Libya but quite useless against mobile targets like those in Afghanistan.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm... are we going to hear the leftists call The One a "warmonger"?

Protest with Hitler signs?

No War for Oil?

Of course you won't, this war is humanitarian. It just, and Obama needs a war to get reelected.

Wonderful!! We eliminated his air force.

Now, about Gaddafi's tanks and artillery slaughtering the Libyan people? When do we start attacking them?

The French already have.

I want to know where the French are, where is their aircraft carrier. Why can't they handle this alone?

The aircraft carrier is leaving in about an hour but it won't be of any use before monday evening according to the news. As to the jets they are already there as well as others from the UK, Canada, Denmark, Spain, etc.

Why should France handle this alone?

ROTFLOL... that sardine can is probably in port getting repairs yet again. Which leaves Europe with one tiny British carrier.

Perhaps we can get them rubber boats and sling-shots. No... wait... no need... they've got those.

They don't need one, their jets can fly from France to Libya.

They probably could, but America decided to join in too.

Very good Spud, I was hoping for such a response.

Part 1.
You think those 112 missiles took no lives, and maimed no people? That Obama did not airraid cities and was not killing and maiming civilians in the process?

Part 2.
You see, no source was off limits for the left and their ridiculous cat calls during the Bush Years. In fact, our journOlists were ridiculous disseminators of crap for the enemy, and Libs in congress provided them material to kick our troops in the teeth later on.

Not at all, but I'll wait for a non-biased number.

You mean those rockets are not "air-raiding cities and killing civilians"?

What actions of mine? Please clarify? I am merely going through the exercise of showing how ridiculous the left was when Bush and a coalition of the willing decided 12-years and 17 UN Resolutions, and one last chance were enough.

It's the only way these people learn. They're like puppies... you have to bring their nose right into the doo-doo before they begin to grasp what they have done. And some will never get it.

Using biased sources, or being overly partisan in general, just because one side did it, doesn't mean you doing it is any better.

Spud, that's pretty lame. 112 rockets, jets dropping bombs, and it is:

1. not airraiding cities?
2. not killing civilians?

Spud, this is not a Disney production.

I am a partisan but you obviously fail to undestand the exercise at hand. This is to educate the morally and intellectually bankrupt Left about what they had done to Bush43 and our troops during Gulf War 2.

As noted earlier, sometimes you have to treat these ****heads like puppies, and put their nose right up into the doo-doo and say... Noooooooo. Some will never learn.

I haven't expressed an opinion of what I think personally about what is transpiring. At the moment Obama's actions have other valuable uses; like educating his moronic base. Having them weigh Obama's actions with those of Bush43.. who was doing cleanup after Saddam lost a war 12-years earlier and signed a contract to disarm, come clean and reveal all his WMD and other programs.

And you're ruining a whole thread to shove your sophomoric point across.

Start a dedicated tread about it and stop the partisan pissing in this one.

Well, no American jets have dropped bombs, and all the missiles were at military targets, so there's nothing yet to indicate that civilian casualties have happened.

:lol: And if you think it'll do anything you're quite mislead, you've never changed your mind about anything, regardless of the evidence to the contrary, and leftist hacks are the same, if anything you're doing just as much disservice to the troops as they did.

you are bringing it up in a ridiculous partisan hack way. if you brought it up like you actually cared, instead of bringing it up to take a blow at liberals, people may just take you seriously. your lack of giving a **** about anything but attacking liberals is pretty disgusting. you care more about that than you do the plight of the Libyan people.
