As I said in an earlier post, I did not care much about them then, nor do I care much about them now.

It is just how this thread makes vivid the hypocrisy among some politicians and posters on this board.

If Qaddafi goes- hopefully fine; if Qaddafi stays, except for Obama vacillating, after opening his mouth when he should have kept it shut, hopefully fine.
Of the problems in the area, Libya is only slightly bigger than a zit on a gnats buttocks.

Sympathy for Qaddafi?
If Obama was half the man he pretends to be, he could eliminate Qaddafi with near zero chance of serioius repercussions, but he is not and Qaddafi as I said, made his misery for the U.S. a long time ago, time to move on if the U.S. or even some allies are not going to actually serious about removing him.

Too bad the French have become squeamish about using their Foreign Legion, they could have ended this quickly.

-------------------------------

Obama is verbally flatulating on NPR right now, about how Libya is attacking its own citizens.
Well gee-golly Oby, in a civil war, that is usually the people you kill.
As I said once before, his vacuous rhetoric is making the U.S. into a literal version of the Emperors New Clothes.

Alcatraz has a snit fit-- WINNING!

King on CNN, seems to be successfully ripping Pres. Obama a new butt-hole.

He has said that Pres. Obama has painted him-self into a corner with his bravado about Libya, while ignoring other countries in the region that are killing their own civilians without a civil war.

ah, but what has already been said, but nothing done, about Darfur. Only that it has nothing of value ( Fossil fuels, precious metals, or agricultural resources ) that can be plundered by 'interested parties'.

Perfect strategy by the administration, by guaranteeing no American boots on the ground in Libya, who wants’ to bet me their sig that after this historic meeting in Paris it will be decided that the ground assault will be lead by elements fighting under the auspices of the French Expeditionary Forces.
GB will lead the coalition in Yemen. And the U.S. will simply turn the turrets on their battle group in Bahrain.
I just hope Sarkosy shows at least a little restraint in Libya because that that freakin' guy is ready to go off like a Neutron Bomb. :s mokin: winning :)

Alcatraz - you sound like a disjointed Liberal. You guys have had majority rule for a while and no one seems to be impressed. I have problems with the right so that is why I support Trump.
But back to Libya - Gaddffi has already violated the cease fire - So what is the next step. You know the Libyian army won't fight once confronted. I am glad you didn't go to Nam - I would be very alarmed thinking that you were watching my back!

+1.

The saddest tragedy is that no one ever seems to recall this. Deaths above pretty much every conflict bar Rwanda (then again, nothing was done there either) combined, and no one lifted a finger.

I can't comprehend why the powers that be didn't intervene. This wasn't a so much a failure of the UN as it was of humanity.
