Since David Cameron has been the one pushing the most for it I can only assume you are referring to him, and he's not a President, thankfully!Quote:

So what now?
Gadaffi is still in charge, that hasn't changed. There are still people who want him out, and he doesn't look like stepping down anytime soon. He's not about to sit back and let himself get overthrown.
The fat lady hasn't even begun warming up yet.

It's going to be an interesting few days.
Actually I think the whole U,S, government has been turned upside down. When dabaya was the prez I always had the impression that Cheney was calling the shots. Now it appears that Hilary cleverly disguised as the Secretary of State is starting to make the calls as Barak who I'm pretty sure would rather be golfing with Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Bill, while shagging some fine woolQuote:

Had they gone in and finished Saddam the liberal jibberish that resulted from an army doing what armies do, would have made the moaning and weeping that resulted from the- road of death- seem like scrib notes.
The second gulf war was completely unnecessary! George sr had already cut Sadams balls off'Quote:

As supposed punishment for supporting the Shiite rebellion in 1991, Saddam Hussein's regime killed thousands of Marsh Arabs, bulldozed their villages, and systematically ruined their way of life. The Marsh Arabs had lived for thousands of years in the marshlands located in southern Iraq until Iraq built a network of canals, dykes, and dams to divert water away from the marshes. The Marsh Arabs were forced to flee the area, their way of life decimated.
The support for pushing Qaddafi out is weak if one wants to use his supposed crimes against his own people.
To be for this war and against Bush's cluster-f campaign is hypocrisy.

At the time, it seem that the Libyans who support Qaddafi, have no voice or are irrelevant in the eyes of the babbling politicians.
National Public Radio is finally mentioning those who support Qaddafi, and why.
