Really? The news so far has been that Britain and France will take the lead on this, the U.S. role will be logistical.Generalissimo Obama now has his war. Under the War Powers Act he has 90 days to accomplish his mission. After that the long knives come out for our intrepid hero.
How many variations of spelling are there for this character. Just today on major news networks I've seen Ghaddafi, Khaddafy, Gaddafi, El-Qaddafi, Qaddafi .. like WTF??

A no fly zone would have been more useful for the rebels soon after the conflict started. Instead the UN waited until government forces crushed rebel opposition. The timing only makes sense if the intent is invasion/occupation. It wouldn't surprise me to find out NATO already has elite ground forces in Libya for recon and to coordinate the bombing.
Never said we were innocent but we are a net oil exporter while the US must import oil to operate and the republicans don't want our oil sands oil.
We weren't innocent even back in Vietnam, but some Canadians think their shyte don't stink. As long as we make money on the destruction of others, we have nothing to brag about.The Republicans don't want your oil sands? Care to elaborate?
I was mostly addressing your "chickens are coming home to roost" comment. Canada isn't that innocent.

''America is broke. This isn't America's fight.''
40% of Libya's oil fields are owned by wealthy American elitists. This is why the government is so interested in getting involved even though it is of no concern to the average American. As always, socialize the cost of protecting the interests of the elites while privatizing the profits.
That oil trickles down to every America dog, man ,woman ,child ,gold fish bowl in America, it is the drink of Americans, Lybian tea, black gold, so they loaded up the truck and moved to Bengasi.
Gee Beav... are we the only country on Earth that uses oil?
He was replying to a post that directly discussed America's role in it. Why would he get into any other countries in this particular reply?

Morning ES. No, but, #1 oil addicts, president said so. Hydro Carbon junkies armed with aircraft carriers in close proximity to sweet crude. What else could be hapnin. The oil and water will be saved along with as many Lybian meat units as it takes to keep the junk in demand.
The People had their say - and they made Daffy duck for cover - by their own effort. Now is the right time to follow their lead and help to evict a tyrant.
So if we're a junkie... and you're a junkie... and China and India are junkies... aren't we all junkies?
BTW... is Israel pulling out their Mercenaries or was that just a backup fantasy in case the bombs failed to drop?
Canned revolution don't taste as good as organic. Serious tyrants own aircraft carriers. Lybia should pray Chadaffi wins. Everyone on the African continent should pray he wins. The organic grassroots Lybian revolution was poisioned in the cradle months ago.
We are all junkies. We all need a good clean supply. We'ed get a better deal from the smaller pushers. They try harder.
Wait a minute... are you on Ghaddafi's side now?
Up till now you were saying that the West wasn't getting involved because the Joooos were backing Gaddafi. Now that the West is getting involved and you're switching sides?
You can't change horses in the middle of a race.
I,m on the peoples side, Ghaddafi is their best bet right now. The "west" was involved long before we heard of the rebellion. As of now no oil infrastructure has been hurt. I'm not going to bother to load the thread with posts from the MSM detailing Israeli involvment or interests in Lybia a country a couple of doors down from them in the neighbourhood, with oil water and weapons. The "west"! what the hell is that anyway?

Burning rigs down doesn't count as damaged oil infrastructure?
