Yeah! Now We Have Three Wars Against Brown People! Yeah!

[Warren Stupidity]

This is really much more than I could possibly hope for.


What happened to the 'no fly zone'? When did that become 'all your bases are belong to us'? How long did the mission creep take this time, two days?

[QED]

1. Actually four

if you count the War Against Brown People in Arizona (i.e. SB1070).

[Warren Stupidity]

5. good point

[madmax]

12. Excellent post and right out of the gate

;) Welcome to DU. :toast:

[polmaven]

23. Well, sure...

That's why the US Justice Department has filed suit against Arizona....'Cause they approve of that STATE LAW.

[Dash87]

2. And three wars for oil! Isn't it amazing?

[northernlights]

37. you mean we're not providing freedoms for the people of

where was it again? I'm losing track....

[Aerows]

3. "Iran" will probably "attack" our allies next

[tekisui]

4. 4 if you count Pakistan. 5 if you count Yemen.

[Warren Stupidity]

8. Oh who's counting. That's just mathiness.

[Aerows]

22. LIberal elitists

Using facts and all of that!

[leftstreet]

6. But that's more Flowers and Sweets for US troops!

Anyone have photos of them "greeting us?"

[Warren Stupidity]

10. What ribbon do we use on our cars?

I need to know RIGHT F'ING NOW!

[leftstreet]

15. er...

[Warren Stupidity]

39. nice car

[ejpoeta]

7. i find it fascinating how we don't have money to help the poor and

unemployed, or heck, even give decent wages to teachers and fund education... but we never seem to run out of money to fight wars. not even OUR wars..... other people's wars. police everyone.... but don't bother policing ourselves. just amazing.

14. Yeah it better to let the Libyans get slaughtered

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

13. You can hear the bombs bursting. Or, is that the sound of champagne corks from the MIC?

38. That's perfect. I never saw it before you posted it. Thank you, so much. n/t

[Chipper Chat]

16. USA! USA! USA!

We are the good policemen of the world*

[tabatha]

17. The "brown" people asked for a no-fly zone.

How nasty!



Jeez, look at all those "brown" people asking for help. Do you think that if they were "not-brown" that they would not get help?

[DevonRex]

19. Seems to me that many people here would like to see Libyan brown people die rather than help them.

I guess if a country has a drop of oil in it then the people there aren't worth saving.

[Newsjock]

24. So I assume you're off to the enlistment center this afternoon

Our military needs every able-bodied volunteer!

[DevonRex]

30. I am a veteran. US Army. 98G2LRU. Thank you very much for YOUR service.

:sarcasm:

[dionysus]

42. OH SNAP

:patriot:

[DevonRex]

44. Heh heh. I love

being able to do that. :)

[Hosnon]

45. pwned. nt.

[Ringo-san]

36. Were the Kurds worth saving, how about the Rwandans? nt

[DevonRex]

41. Yes, they were. I'd have been for a UN action in both cases. nt

[Joe the Revelator]

18. Yeah a war against brown people in order to stop them from killing their brown countrymen

The op is completely fucking asinine.

[Warren Stupidity]

40. funny how selective we are when it comes to stopping the slaughter.

Yemen?
Ivory Coast?
Bahrain?
Sudan for a decade or more?
Rwanda?
Yes it is all about stopping the slaughter.

How much intervention would there be if the Really Vile Thugs in Saudi Arabia started slaughtering their pesky shiites?

[SpartanDem]

20. Those brown people asked for our help

but don't let facts get your way

[Dash87]

28. Then these Libyan freedom fighters will be there to blow us up

and commit terrorist attacks later on. Good thing we're arming and helping them now. That really worked out in Afghanistan and Iraq. :(

[daleo]

21. Mission creep was very fast this time

Troops on the ground won't be long. No doubt special forces are on the way, if they aren't there already.

Peak oil theory predicted a scramble to secure oil which would involve military actions.

I think some countries, like Germany and Japan will accelerate their renewables program to avoid being embroiled in these oil wars. Losing big wars breeds some caution. Others will squander blood and treasure to preserve the status quo. Winning big wars breed hubris.

It won't be all or nothing. Countries may hedge their bets, doing a bit of both, but there will be stronger tendencies in one direction or another. Germany will tend in one direction, the U.S. in the other.

25. to achieve air superiority one must make it safe to fly over victim nation

errrrr... I mean enemy territory you must cripple their command/control and damage their infrastructure all while avoiding KILLING innocents.

:sarcasm:

[Zynx]

27. So, you are alright with just sitting on our hands while Gaddafi slaughters the rebels?

[GSLevel9]

31. I have a problem with American wealth or blood on the line.

and I just have this thing GENERALLY against war.

[pettypace]

26. This brown person ain't offended about libya

It's not a war on their country, simply on a dictator who's been in charge since the 60's.




More importantly, I'll thank you to stop pulling the race card when you can't come up with an intelligent analysis of what's transpiring.

It certainly takes away from the seriousness whenever real discrimination takes place.

[MisterP]

29. +2: Yemen and Pakistan

[geek tragedy]

32. Yep, Barack Obama loves killing brown people,. nt

[conspirator]

33. Obama does as he is told, it's not like he makes any decision nt

[geek tragedy]

34. He is the most powerful person on the planet.

He is commander in chief of the armed services of the United States.

[Motown_Johnny]

35. Oh Please.... One person steps down from power and this ends

It is not a war against brown people and belittles all the actual wars against people because of their ethnicity.

[krabigirl]

43. Yep, 4 of em. So proud to be amerikan.../s.
