So why are the Lybian rebels so great and wonderful ?

WTF are you talking about? The intervention in Libya was to directly prevent Qaddafi from massacring a huge number of civilians. That wasn't the case for either Afghanistan or Iraq. We retaliated against Afghanistan AFTER 9/11. The Iraq war was started based on BS about WMD.

those civilians took up arms against him. They weren't some innocent civilians. How much shit has to getnshoved in your face before you realize you've been eating shit? Must be some good koolaid they got You drinking

I was born in the 80's so I didn't get to see what we did w\ creating al qeada first hand... isn't this the same thing? We train them, arm them and then in 20 years we get to have them as an enemy?

well see this is different, most of these rebels already had militant training from AQ or some othernIslamist group so we really just refined their training and gave them better guns.

we didn't stop a massacre we killed any chance of Gaddaffi winning. Remember when I said thisnwasnfor regime change, they wanted gaddaffi dead and idiots like throckmorton told me no they didn't. Lols at making it a fair fight, WE beat gaddaffi not the rebels. They would be dead if it wasn't for ue blowing thenfuck out of gaddaffi's forces.

I don't care if you agree with going into Libya, I am just sick at your dumbfucks hypocrisy in acting like this is anything different than our other two wars. Lol you guys don't realize just how much you suck and it's funny to me in a sad kind of way

Uhh... it is. By the far right Tea Party and the far left, both of which are morally bankrupt.

BTW, you know there's a difference between starting two wars and saving civilians from a tyrant right? And yes, Bush did start the Afghanistan war. The correct response wasn't to try to exterminate Al Qaeda and the Taliban and rebuild a whole country from scratch for decades. It was probably to assassinate the leaders and somehow encourage a revolution there.

Step 1: Assassinate leaders.
Step 2:
Step 3: Big profit democracy.

Don't be a moron. If nothing else, there's far too many already, so morons don't earn a lot. There is no humanitarian reason you can give for intervention in Libya that doesn't apply twice over in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Presidents of both parties don't go to war because they are evil, cape-wearing villains who want to kill brown people and enrich their friends, but because right or wrong they honestly believe it's the best course for the country.

It's different in one way - we aren't occupying the country. That gives us almost no influence in the new government and society, but it also means we dodge most of the cost in lives and money.

Didn't realize Gadaffi(sp)had such a fan base.

 

[spacejamz]

So why haven't we bombed Syria again???

No Oil.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Because we (Western countries) are getting schadenfreude from watching The Colonel in his death throes. But, what comes next might be worse...

sandorski, I dont much like Gaddaffi but that doesn't mean we are doing the right thing. I mean if killing people is the right thing, and I have been criticized on these forums for saying more people need to die, then well I can point to a ton of other people who deserve to die. Like anyone who has made a living through currency manipulation. Fraudsters need to die. All rapists. Anyone who can't do basic math, retards, those with diseases that are incurable and could also be spread to others. Lots of people need to die, I didn't realize we were so just in doing so.

As you should be.

You're completely missing the point.

The point isn't about wanting to go kill people. It was about saving lives. To save lives, unfortunately required killing people who threatened them.

You want to kill people with AIDS? You're scum.

Taking up arms against a dictator is self defense. They are absolutely innocent civilians.


Or do you rightwingers suddenly not believe in the right to bear arms so strongly anymore?
