Guess with can't call it a MASSACRE when we kill long distance. Or just SHOCK AND AWE.

110 Tomahawk missiles, fired from American warships and submarines and one British submarine struck 20 air-defense targets around Tripoli, the capital, and the western city of Misurata.

It is so heart-breaking to see Obama go along with the deceitful pattern of
western justification for imposing its will in the world. We must launch "strikes" to stop
those evil/crazy "other leaders" from "massacres."

The people we support are "unarmed civilians." If they have weapons they don't really count -- a few rocket launchers, anti-aircraft missiles, puny sub-machines rifles -- nothing really. They capture cities without killing (or no killing that is worth reporting), while the enemies of freedom are
"ruthless forces" or "mercenaries" deserving to be killed.

The first casualty of war is TRUTH.

As someone who has traveled through the region and knows a little about the history of political
conflict, factional fighting and rebel movements in North Africa, the TRUTH IN LIBYA DIED shortly after
the first flag of protest was raised and the West and their regional allies saw an opportunity to overthrow it long-time nemesis.

Obama has become the latest pawn of the western powers in the Geopolitics of Oil.

1. I can't say it any simpler. FUCK WAR !

2. I wouldn't be surprised if more civilians weren't just killed in all those bombings...

Than the total number of civilians killed by Gadhafi so far.

Collateral damage is just a fickle thing, don't ya know.

9. Maybe if they were all aimed at occupied apartment complexes

But I doubt it.

11. YAY. SURGICAL STIKES. We didn't kill any Iraqis, did we??

I am sure we just dropped more ordinance on Libya that Gaddafi's army would imagine using against the rebels.

8. The repugs will vote to defund it.

And Obama will refuse to veto the vote in the interest of bipartisanship.

12. That is ~$66 million worth of missiles for anyone keeping track.
