Man: The one thing we professional pundits must ponder is, "why are we in Libya?" People: Right. Why? Why? Yes. Why, indeed. Man: We are bombing a sovereign country, ostensibly for humanitarian reasons... People: Right. Right. Right. Man: Are we trying to kill Gaddafi? He hasn't attacked us, has he? People: Why, no. No he hasn't. No. Punk: A debt still owing, as yet unpaid. Gaddafi: Well. Picky. Picky. Picky...

Gaddafi is a dead man. Just keep supporting the rebels and he will be gone.

I dunno what the point is of putting Gaddafi in high heels, but who cares, it’s priceless.
But on a more serious note, someone on NPR recently said that if this joker survives, we can look for him to sponsor a lot MORE terrorist attacks.

Pan Am 103 has nothing to do with what is going on now, it is just a convenient fact that seems to support Obama’s military actions.
Obama was elected on a campaign of military contraction. He has done the opposite. Where are the impeachment proceedings from the Congress that was not consulted about this?

The U.S.and U.N. attack on Libya is just a continuation of the moral sinkhole of the invasion of Iraq. It’s sick

If only we’d use such precision targeting. National leaders tend to be leery of that can of worms, though. It could become fashionable.

There is evidence that suggests that the Iranians a were responsible and not the Libyans. The Iranians did it in response to the shooting down of an Iranian PASSENGER plane by the US Navy. At the time we needed them onside for the Gulf War so it was convenient to blame Libya. You’ll not have heard this in the USA as your mistakes are never publicised.

I flashed on Panama 1990- and the people killed to make a “drug bust”.

The same place it was when Ronald Reagan attacked Libya Habby.
He didn’t ask for a vote either.
Oops!

^^Except this time the military industrial complex can drop a money bomb on our elections and have the feeble minded vote in their best interest. You seriously want this guy to become a lame duck president? There are two guys in the supreme court who are going to retire. I’d rather take my chances with President “Clinton” than President Palin.
