    Ametia & SouthernGirl2:

    Good evening. May peace be upon you.

    I will put aside the clear observations of your bias in favor of Obama and try to understand the rationalizations of your positions. (Yes I’ve read all of your posts)

    * Gaddafhi is killing his own people and we can’t sit there and watch
    * Obama went through the proper channels (the UN) to get permission to bomb
    * Criticism of Obama’s timing is merely “hateration”
    * Oh yeah, and – “Barack & Roll”, “Vote Democrat”, “Once You Go Black You Never Go Back”, “Vote Smart Vote Democrat”.

    I take it that you are arguing that a government that systematically murders and assaults its own people are worthy candidates for invasion? The majority vote by the United Nations IS “justification”. (Even though two Security Council Members thought otherwise – Russia and China)

    If the Tea Party Militia were to take the guns that they have stockpiled since “a Black man took office as President” and began a violent insurrection – AND THEN the American government put down the uprising using weapons of violence – would you chime in – suggesting that the UN intervene to attack the US Federal government in defense of the Tea Party?

    Have you thought about all of this in terms of the American Civil War?
    What is your threshold by which the JUSTIFICATION of an uprising trumps the justification of a sovereign nation to retain its standing?

    What is your opinion of Farrakhan’s protestations against US military actions and Obama.

    (Or should I just accept the expected “Ugggh!” from SouthernGirl2 as an answer?)

      I like Minister Louis Farrakhan. I really do. But some things I agree with him and some I don’t.

      Surely Minister Louis Farrakhan doesn’t condone Gaddafi murdering his own citizens for wanting democracy? Did you not read where Gaddafi stated he’d have no mercy? Should African Nations w/ dictators be excused when they commit atrocities against their own citizens? God forbid! Would you walk away or ignore someone who was murdering innocents? I hope not!

      This mission was backed by the United Nations, The House Foreign Affairs and Intelligen­ce Committees & The Arab league. It was morally right! And it’s going to be very limited.

      **sigh** I refuse to listen to the American media talking heads. We’re damned if we do and dammed if we don’t assist the citizens of Lybia who are being MURDERED in cold blood by Gadaffi. AMERICA CANNOT sit by and watch innocent human beings being murdered by a dictator.

    Breaking News Alert: Attacks begin on Libyan air defense sites
    March 19, 2011 4:26:10 PM
    —————————————-

    An international coalition launched its first strikes on Libya Saturday to destroy the country’s air and missile defense systems and prevent further attacks by the Libyan government on its citizens and rebels in and around the rebel held city of Benghazi, a senior U.S. military official said.

    More than two dozen warships and a large number of war planes from several countries made up the initial strike force, which was led by the U.S. military’s Africa command, the official said, speaking in an embargoed briefing a few hours before the operation began.

    “The key first strikes would be on the coast because that is where the integrated air and missile defense systems,” the official added.
    The first wave included sea-launched U.S. cruise missiles and the deployment of U.S. electronic warfare aircraft.

        There are no American troops on the ground or air. The missiles are being fired from ships, but America is leading the international attacks on Lybia.

    This mofo is on a SUICIDE MISSION

    Gaddafi forces enter Benghazi despite ceasefire
    19.03.11

    Pro-Gaddafi tanks have been seen entering Libya’s second city on Benghazi despite a government ceasefire declared yesterday.

    The advance into the city with 670,000 people comes on the day of a meeting of world powers in Paris as they discuss whether military action needs to be taken.

    A government spokesman has insisted that the fighting in Benghazi is not their doing however rebel sources claim that military assaults by forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi on cities including Benghazi, Misrata and Ajdabiya continued even after the ceasefire announcement.

    Gaddafi said western powers had no right to intervene in Libya. Mussa Ibrahim, a government spokesman, quoted the Libyan leader as saying in a letter to France, Britain and the UN: “This is injustice, this is clear aggression. You will regret it if you take a step towards interfering in our internal affairs.”

    An MP’s vote is due to take place in Britain on Monday on what action should be taken, military or otherwise.

    David Gergen, go somewhere and sit the fuck down. The president has got the situation in check. Your Monday morning QB sucks. Our President does not go into another country like a wild savage without thinking about the consequences.

    That’s GW Bush’s style.
