That's how *we* do it.

This is probably gunna end up with us, three French guys, half dozen Brits, and a few Arabs.

War 3

Yay!

B O O M ! ! !

That's how *we* do it.

[tekisui]

1. Maybe War 5. We have been at war in Pakistan for years, and we

have carried out strikes in Yemen not too long ago.

[leftstreet]

2. This is how Egyptians do it:

This is how the US does it:

[tabatha]

9. Do you think all these countries would be involved

if Gaddafi had stepped down like Muburak?

You do know that the activities of the military in Egypt were heavily influenced by the US military telling them what to do.


And Iraq happened under Bush, who was hell bent on avenging threats to his father.

In Libya many nations are trying to prevent genocide.

There are many false equivalencies in your post.

3. Oil

It's worth lying for
Energy commodity
It's worth dying for

[tabatha]

11. Genocide.

[obxhead]

16. BS.

If that were the real reason we would enforce no fly zones in more countries such as Darfur.

This is about oil. If there were no oil, a brief statement would be the most this country under any admin would have done.

[Drale]

4. Whether you want to admit it or not the one thing the US military is very good at is

taking down governments. Whats its not so good at is rebuilding them afterwords.

[tabatha]

5. Have not seen any action by the US yet.

I read a report on another DU thread, that Obama wants minimal action by the US.

[undeterred]

6. So do we call that an "interfaith war" or an "ecumenical bombing"?

[tabatha]

7. OBAMA trying to LIMIT MILITARY INVOLVEMENT in LIBYA

8. Talk is cheap

It's his actions that concern me.

[tabatha]

10. Watch.

I have seen only French involved so far.

[lonestarnot]

12. Are are warmongering expenses still running 9 billion a month or are we over that now?

[JoseGaspar]

13. The most important part of your OP is the "*we*"...

...which questions the national loyalties associated with today's events. The rest is pure rerun. Who is the Democratic Party better than, again? I've forgotten.

"Friends, Romans, countrymen... we come not to bury Empire but to praise it..."

[NuclearDem]

14. The extent of our involvement in the NFZ is the planning

The French, British, Dutch, Canadians, Italians, and other UN members are actually flying.

15. Whee!

"TO WAR, TO WAR
WE'RE FINALLY GOING TO WAR

HI-DE, HI-DE
HI-DE, HI-DE HO

TO WAR, TO WAR
TO WAR WE'RE GONNA GO"

Who do we invade next?
