I figure that any place having anything to do with command and control is a legitimate target. What's the bid deal?

Ir's pretty clear Gaddafi was not the target, The coward is probably dressed as a woman living in the shadows in some suburb of Tripoli, with lots of woman and children around.

British submarines fired two missiles at Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi’s compound in downtown Tripoli Sunday, a senior coalition official confirmed to Fox News, as part of a weekend of punishing attacks aimed at protecting the Libyan people.

The British Ministry of Defense confirmed that Qaddafi was not the target, but that the compound was hit because of its military significance. A Pentagon official had previously said Sunday that the coalition “will not be going after Qaddafi.”

Well if you say all it has to do is have military significance, that's ANYTHING. If we're not trying to oust Ghadaffi we are wasting our time. Obummer said WE weren't targeting him, but he spoke nothing of of Britain or France. Either we take this man out and stop this nonsense or we keep playing whack a mole with his army.

I was shocked when I heard this on the radio this morning. I thought this was a no-fly-zone mission. What have we gotten into?

Don'tWorryBeHappy -- whack a mole -- :rofl

You're right. I did. I wanted to see a no-fly zone -- not bombing Daffy's compound. To me, that's a very different thing.

I think it's pretty naive for anyone who supported a no-fly zone to not be able to foresee that it would immediately escalate to something more.

I agree. And it is a concern. We really don't need a another war. While this in no way compares to Iraq, there is good reason to be concerned.

yup, obama doesn't know what he's doing, he's a determined ditherer

Hot News – Obama

No one knows what the hell we're doing in Libya, which is a good reason not to be there.

Sometimes I don't know what in the hell I'm doing here at work, so I guess I should just leave.

Worth a read:

Excerpted from “A Very Liberal Intervention” By ROSS DOUTHAT, OP-ED COLUMNIST, The New York Times, Published: March 20, 2011
[size="+2"]I[/size]n its month-long crab walk toward a military confrontation with Libya’s Muammar el-Qaddafi, the Obama administration has delivered a clinic in the liberal way of war.

Just a week ago, as the tide began to turn against the anti-Qaddafi rebellion, President Obama seemed determined to keep the United States out of Libya’s civil strife. But it turns out the president was willing to commit America to intervention all along. He just wanted to make sure we were doing it in the most multilateral, least cowboyish fashion imaginable. …

obama, december, 2007:

The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.

the dude wouldn't be buzzin libya today if hillary weren't in such a huff

this crew has no clue how to conduct a foreign policy

when it comes to war you simply cannot TEMPORIZE

how's afghanistan?
 
Re: Qaddafi Compound Hit by U.K. Missiles as Coalition Says Leader’s Forces in Disarr

Obama knows exactly what he's doing. He's paving the way for the French and British to invade Libya and oust Qadaffi. It's about time other countries pulled their weight.
 
Re: Qaddafi Compound Hit by U.K. Missiles as Coalition Says Leader’s Forces in Disarr

Obama didn't invade Afghanistan. That quagmire was started almost a decade ago.
 
Re: Qaddafi Compound Hit by U.K. Missiles as Coalition Says Leader’s Forces in Disarr

afghanistan is OBAMA'S WAR
That is funny. You partisan hacks can't take responsibility for anything.
Had Bush been competent, the war would have been over 6 years ago.
 
Re: Qaddafi Compound Hit by U.K. Missiles as Coalition Says Leader’s Forces in Disarr

obama ESCALATED

sorry

Yes he did because Bush left Afghanistan in such a mess. Just like everything else. Bush botched two wars, left the economy in shambles and doubled the debt. He was the incompetant one. Sorry.
It amazes me how you hacks think Obama could fix all of Bush's blunders in two years.

Bush. Obama. McCain. Palin. Warthog/Pig. <same things. They all play for the same team. And they will all eat your spicy hot Cheetos if left unguarded.

If your job involves killing people and/or ordering them to possibly die, then I would agree you should just leave if you don't know why you're there.

It's funny...you've made six posts in this thread bitching about Obama, and yet I still don't know where you stand on intervention in Libya. It's ALMOST as though you're a partisan hack who parrots talking points from pundits, rather than actually forming opinions on political issues...

You just figured that out now?

It all proves the partisan hacks were successful in blaming the democrats for all the crap that happened while the republicans controlled everything. The sheep bought it, hook, line and sinker.
