21. You're 100% WRONG. As I said on another thread:

Edited on Sat Mar-19-11 06:15 PM by jenmito

There is no comparison between Iraq and Libya. Bush lied us into war with Iraq, claiming they had WMD and we couldn't wait "for a smoking gun which could come in the form of a mushroom cloud." He also said Iraq was somehow involved in 9/11-at least it was strongly implied. And we sent in ground troops.

That's a totally different scenario from Obama getting a UN resolution with the support of the Arab League to help the people of Libya who WANTED our help. Obama didn't lie to us to send our troops into Libya (the resolution specifically states there will be NO ground troops sent in).

Trying to compare the two is ridiculous.
