On topic my little comics. :lol:

So now this great attack by President Obama (vacationing in Brazil) against Libya is pissing off other African countries and they want it stopped immediately.

NOUAKCHOTT (AFP) – The African Union's panel on Libya Sunday called for an "immediate stop" to all attacks after the United States, France and Britain launched military action against Moamer Kadhafi's forces.
After a more than four-hour meeting in the Mauritanian capital, the body also asked Libyan authorities to ensure "humanitarian aid to those in need," as well as the "protection of foreigners, including African expatriates living in Libya."

Obama has played this exactly right (and the reps should watch and learn). This isn't a US war.

You're right. It's just a couple countries invading another's air space and killing innocent folks is all part of the bigger picture.
Exactly. As Gadaffee (everyone has their own spelling) said, bombing schools and hospitals. All those innocent kids at 3:00 am. What a shame.

But it is a Canadian war. And don't tell me it isn't cuz I got military assets there, what I paid taxes for, my government is helping to sack Lybia while the yankee pigdogs sit back and do nothing to help with the looting. Yeah there's no hope you'll ever change. Yer sooooo innocent to believe Uncle Sam ain't gonna take the biggest pieces.
Oh I forgot to say good morning Kreskin.

As much as I don't buy the BS that comes from Ka-Daffy Duck, I'm sure not even you believe that no innocent people have fallen victim to the effects of the bombing sorties.

That said, I just can't throw my support behind this. It's all about oil. And as much as I fully grasp that oil makes the world go round. It isn't about the need for it, as much as it is all about the need to control it.

I've grown tired of the wanton destruction of life and property in the name of profit margines.

If Kuadaufi wants to see looting we'll teach him a few lessons.

It is about Obama protecting his homeland and birthplace :)

They are an impressive bird of prey. My favourite actually. I can kind of relate to them, on a certain level, lol.
Yes, you don't want to be texting while driving a tank when they show up. Very dangerous.

Don’t Trust the Libyan Horror Stories

By Kevin Boyle on March 20, 2011
Kevin Boyle – No One To Vote For March 20, 2011

On LBC (London Broadcasting) radio this morning there was a live poll of Londoners, the results of which were intermittently broadcast. At the end of the first hour the balance was 72% against military action, 28% in favour.
By the end of the show this balance had changed to 52% against, 48% for.
In the meantime there were also a stream of callers claiming to be Libyans who plied their way through a long list of absolutely horrific crimes of the Gaddafi regime including (for a taste of the horror recited):
A young boy was overheard making a phone call. The authorities went to his house, took him away, beheaded him and brought his head back to his mother saying she should give it to his brother to play with.
This kind of thing reminds one of the Kuwaiti Princess who went on world TV in 1991 alleging that Iraqi soldiers in a Kuwaiti hospital were taking premature babies from their incubators and killing them. This story was later proved (and admitted) to be a complete lie.
I called LBC to contribute to their phone-in to say this but they would not let me on air.
if such horrors were routinely occurring (as the callers allege) you can be quite sure we would all have heard about such incidents long before this crucial moment arrived.
Garnering support for military attacks matters. The British public (in London at least), it appears, are against this action and a media blitz of such propaganda is almost certainly on its way into your living rooms.
Don’t trust a word these war-mongers say. Someone is trying to make your heart shed virtual blood in order that you will applaud the reality of real Libyans shedding real blood.
