So what do you think about this Libya thing??

[scottbombedout]

How many died in Rwanda 800,000?

Robert Mugabe, how many has he killed?

The nutter in N.Korea, how many have died there?

It is all about the oil.

Why now? Because the rebellion is happening in every neighbouring country and in the greater region...an example must be made and a lesson taught. Like I said a few posts ago...this is not about G...if it was they would have taken him out already.

Spot on! We have such a stellar record when we intervene in ME skirmishes, why not heap on another one!?! And...as above, we're popping caps into Lybia with no effing indication of the end-game. Democracy? Give me a break. Where's China on this? Any Saudi planes in the air dropping turds? Nope...just good ol' uncle Sam again, with a bit of help from the French....probably because they temporarily ran out of white flags (toungue in cheek, of course).

Khadaffi has been there for 40+ years. We're embroiled in lose/lose situations all over the ME and this is another one. If we don't kill him (look how successful we've been with Bin Ladin), where will he go? No, this is US foriegn policy at it's absolute worst.

And...when France tucks tail and runs, and the other Arab countries are looking at their sandals, who will be left to clean up the mess? Remember, the poor rebels will need their country rebuilt, right? Get your checkbooks out fellas.
