I support military action against Qaddafi 100%!!!

[Change Happens]

It is awesome to see Canada, Qatar, Egypt, France, England, and many others pitch in :)

[pampango]

1. What I think is "awesome" is that the United Nations authorized action not just individual countries

or regional groups.

[Change Happens]

2. And the Arab league asked for this!

Well done Sec. Clinton?

[pinboy3niner]

5. Exactly

It's not the U.S. or NATO or the EU--it's the world's nations, acting in concert under UN authority. And it includes participation by Arab League states.

[Duende azul]

15. Come on. "the world's nations" that`s a joke.

The Arab League. My ass.
You know who invited the Empire to raid Libya? Autocrats, Kings, Dictators, Torturers, Islamists of the worst kind. At this point in time the Arab League is headed by that fine crop of heads of state.

And not everyone was ok with the decision.

Maybe the deal with Bahrain and Saudi Arabia was: You invite us into Libya, we help you to smite your opposition.

[old mark]

3. K&R- Me, too- this one is legitimate.nt

[Aryo]

4. This is very exciting

To see so many nations banding together for the greater good.

[Duende azul]

9. Another one who is excited. I see a pattern here.

Will you enlist?

[Aryo]

18. Why would I enlist?

No boots on the ground. We will only use fighter pilots to strategically take out targets.

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. And if you think in time boots will not be needed

I got a real huge grain of cesium... no war has ever been won by a strategic air campaign... not a one.

Now who will those be those boots? If those are ours we need a draft sonny.

(I suspect France, they are really itching to send in the Foreign Legion, and yes I do know that this is not just humanitarian either)

If this remains on only boots in rebels... the we will not need a draft.

[Obamanaut]

36. Join up anyway. If you are not a pilot, you can be used as ground crew. nt

[Change Happens]

26. Check out this CNN online poll:

http://www.cnn.com/

You will be very surprised!

[EFerrari]

6. There is really no such thing as military action against one person. n/t

[Duende azul]

7. Go ahead if you are so excited. Enlist.

[Change Happens]

31. I really think this is a just move against a very bad actor...Look at him now

today, bombing his own people over and over, he really wants to do as much damage as possible, kill as many as possible, before the no fly zone is implemented :(

[shanti]

35. NO MORE WAR!!

:mad:

[cali]

8. Why? And why not military action against Bahrain?

[Duende azul]

17. I don't know. I don't expect an answer to that question here.

At least not form the humanitarian militarist majority.

[golddigger]

21. And don't forget Yemen!

[Aerows]

28. Bahrain and Yemen don't have much oil

...and oil not being pumped isn't affecting European nations. That's pretty much your answer right there.

[Upton]

10. How ridiculously ironic..

a poster with a peace sign avatar starting a thread in which the first four words are..."I support military action" :eyes:

[peace frog]

19. +1

but then some are dead to irony.

[gmaki]

37. agreed

The overwhelming support of DU for this sham of a "war" is ironic.

..and sad.

This looks and sounds exactly like Iraq to me... sometimes literally word for word.

[Xicano]

11. History in the wake of U.S. military action

leaves little to nothing to be optimistic about, but leaves plenty to be concerned about.

I'm just saying..

[Dash87]

12. I don't support this. I think we should outright condemn military action,

like France did with Iraq. We have no right to start another war (just like the last two).

[Uzybone]

24. the same France that is leading the drum roll for military action in Libya

the hypocrisy of the West never surprises me.

[Vinca]

13. All we need is to be involved in another war.

[Mudoria]

14. It's Ok with me...

as long as its the Euro's and Arabs doing 90% of the flyovers.

[LWolf]

16. I support the very rare use

of the exclamation point.

The only military actions I support are some directed by the UN, and those needed to remove our military presence from around the globe.

[Distant Observer]

20. I'd love to see a table of causualties from Gaddafi vs the Rebels vs the Western Bombing that

you all want to unleash.

[SlimJimmy]

22. Good point. I thought I stumbled into a clutch of neo-cons for a moment there. (nt)

[TransitJohn]

23. Disgusting. Unrec. n/t

n/t

[Shagbark Hickory]

25. It would be nice if the scandanavian countries would step up to the plate for a change.

[Change Happens]

27. This whole effort is being advanced by other nations, including Arab countries

not the US!

[Shagbark Hickory]

32. good then the US should stay out of it.

[meow mix]

29. very supportive of this action here, and of our president and the rest of the sane world.

very sad to see so many DUers support ghadafi, and turn thier backs on the protestors. disgusting.

[Obamanaut]

33. Then, by all means, enlist so you can participate. As for me, I am

tired of the US being the 'world police force.' It has become too expensive in terms of the lives of our husbands, wives, fathers, siblings, children other relatives, as well as lives of civilians in places that are being blasted to smithereens, and money - money that a) we don't have and b) if we did could well be used for stuff in the US.

Is that still a peace symbol?

[fascisthunter]

34. you fraud

so transparent you are fucking goofy.

[ItNerd4life]

38. You mean the same countries that pitched in for Iraq?

Somehow a coalition is now acceptable?

[Aerows]

39. It is for some people

as long as the President has a D after his name.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

40. Yay!! Killing is such fun!!

[GSLevel9]

41. fuck yeah BABY!!!

USA!! USA!! USA!!

I heard Stimulus III will be announced tonight, the purchase of 10,000 Tomahawk Cruise Missiles to replace the 10,000 to be fired next week.

Raytheon stocks will soar on Monday from the insiders who know the attack is coming. Speculators include investors from the Congress and teh White House.

They're quite a bargain at only $600,000 each.

:sarcasm:
