Obama' libyan coalition Falls apart

Show me. :2wave:

Nah...you are right...it wasnt Egypt where you were clamoring for us to go to war (by US you always mean SOMEONE ELSE). It was Libya...back on the 2nd...this was our exchange 21 days ago...several times...were you continually suggest other people should go and put their lives on the line...take a principled stand. Other people...of course...not...you.

"Shall we sit idly by while Gaddafi's hired goons murder the people of Libya?"

Hell to the no...you should snatch up your slingshot and get your ass over there and put some muscle behind your hustle. NOW!!! What the hell are you waiting for?
 
Obama ****ed up by getting us involved. Now he'll have to end up taking full control, plus the US will have to do most of the heavy lifting again......and our money of course. Instead of letting the EU handle this one....dumbass. :roll:

It seems the primary disagreement is that many people thought enforcing a no-fly zone meant...well...enforcing a no-fly zone, not launching air attacks against ground forces. Thats kinda different from a no-fly zone. In other words the UN wanted a bunch of jets flying around to show how relevant the UN was and somehow the Brits, French, and US took that to mean they had a license to take aggressive air to ground actions.
 
If Obama had kept us out of this, he could be now saying that the EU cannot put together a cohesive answer to a world crisis such as in Libya. Now that he got us involved, he'll be part of the failure. NATO - US = EU Frankly the EU needs to fall on its ass, because they've been bitching about how we do things for far too long without having to prove their own leadership ability.

Why the hell would anyone want that to be the case? I could understand if thats you're opinion, but to list the failure of western nations to respond to a crisis and act together has something desirable? What the ****.

Anyway, any bickering in the coalition is normal, its what allies do. There was plenty of bickering about how to deal with Germany and Japan in WW2, how to deal with the USSR, the Gulf War, the Yugoslavia break up, the Afghan conflict, the Iraq War. Bickering is nothing new and it hardly means the alliance is going to break up.
 
Your first problem.. The Daily Mail

Second problem.. it is an utter lie and distortion by the Daily Mail.

Third.. Germany was against the operation from the start, so it is hardly "the coalition falls apart" moment.. Germany was NEVER IN IT!..

Gezz, do you conservatives never learn when it comes to FACTS?


Their "facts" are Hannity sound bites. :roll:

President Obama Finances Offshore Drilling in Brazil - WSJ.com

last saturday:

“We want to help you with the technology and support to develop these oil reserves safely. And when you’re ready to start selling, we want to be one of your best customers. At a time when we’ve been reminded how easily instability in other parts of the world can affect the price of oil, the United States could not be happier with the potential for a new, stable source of energy.” - White House Press Briefing, March 19th

You know when Denmark and every single country after them decided to leave Iraq, many on the left talked about how the coalition was falling apart, and many on the right denied it up until the US was the only one left!

My question is to the left, why is this coalition different, which is obvious to me in my last post.
And my question to the right is, why is this coalition different, which is obvious to me in my last post.
 
This thread is total garbage. Its fish wrap not even worth reading.

What's total garbage? This?

•Tensions with Britain as Gates rebukes UK government over suggestion Gaddafi could be assassinated
•French propose a new political 'committee' to oversee operations
•Germany pulls equipment out of NATO coalition over disagreement over campaign's direction
•Italians accuse French of backing NATO in exchange for oil contracts
•No-fly zone called into question after first wave of strikes 'neutralises' Libyan military machine
•U.K. ministers say war could last '30 years'
•Italy to 'take back control' of bases used by allies unless NATO leadership put in charge of the mission
•Russians tell U.S. to stop bombing in order to protect civilians - calls bombing a 'crusade'
 
The source isnt even mainstream media. The thread is a joke and biased. Flush it!
Dude gave you a dozen or so sources...its in mainstream media sources everywhere...but isnt newsworthy...because you dont like it???

huh? That has NOTHING to do with what my comment was. Conservatives think what Hannity says is fact.

Any other Stereotypical Conservative card you want to play?

I call it the way it happens. You conservatives deserve to see what ya'll do from someone on the outside looking in. Dont like now DO you? Dont like looking in the mirror? You all are even worse than the liberals when it comes to gathering "facts".
ANYHEW, back on topic....
Im pretty sure this news source isnt MSM so this thread shouldnt even be here. But its not writen without bias.

Will first off I don't listen or Watch Hannity's shows. So that right off the Bat blows your "little" and yes it's very little theory out of the water.

And the other 20 MSM news sources where not enough for you. What is your issue? If the info in the OP is correct and it sure seems to be substantiated by many other sources, what difference does the link in the original OP make?
ANYHEW, back on topic....

You not liking this thread is actually not getting "back on topic", Mr. Ego. :roll:

Excellent! Glad to at least hear that.

You not liking this thread is actually not getting "back on topic", Mr. Ego.

Really? See I thought talking about the thread and the source of the topic was..... you know.... talking about the topic. :roll: And Mr Ego? Now youre name-calling too?
Nice.

Ill say it again. This article was writen with bias. And Im not too darn sure that Mail Online is MSM. Plus the coalition is not "falling apart". Thats rubbish. If THATS the case I'll eat cat food.

Athough I'm sure we all care immensely what you want done with this thread, that is actually not the topic of the thread.

And Mr Ego? Now youre name-calling too?
Nice.
Excuse me, I meant Mr. Giant Ego...er...Noodle

Ill say it again. This article was writen with bias. And Im not too darn sure that Mail Online is MSM. Plus the coalition is not "falling apart". Thats rubbish. If THATS the case I'll eat cat food.
Oh, well, if you say it's rubbish than all those articles must wrong. :roll:
 
When did we give them $2 billion? If President Obama did this, there's a smoking gun. If not...just another example of American taxpayers' money being squandered.

Or more lies from Obama
 
huh? That has NOTHING to do with what my comment was. Conservatives think what Hannity says is fact.

So all news outlets must then believe what Hannity says.
