I sure hope we can kill Gaddafi within the next couple of days...

[Change Happens]

Would not want him and his kids getting on Tee Vee every day with more propaganda.

This is one very evil man, has been for so long, we need him gone ASAP.

[nadinbrzezinski]

1. The window for spec ops and smart toys

passed a while ago.

[Obamanaut]

31. And cavalierly refer to methods of maiming and death as smart 'toys'. nt

[Critters2]

2. Then which evil dictator do we start bombing next?

I'm not find of Mugabe. He's been there a long time, too. Don't you want him gone? If not, why not?

[tabatha]

4. I loathe and detest Mugabe.

But there has been no request for a no-fly zone.

In fact, the only way either Mugabe or any resistors can fight is hand-to-hand.

[Critters2]

5. Who should do the asking?

What a load of bullshit. We haven't involved ourselves in Zimbabwe because they don't have oil. Obviously.

[Cali_Democrat]

9. Exactly

It's amazing how people cannot see this. Anytime large oil reserves are at stake, the bombs start falling and the cruise missiles start flying.

There's a lot of strife in the world and civil are are happening all the time, but it's amazing how we manage to involve ourselves in places where there is a lot of oil.

Well, actually it's not that amazing if you manage to open your eyes.

[tabatha]

20. The only thing that I can see in Libya

is the population begging day after day after day for a no-fly zone.

Do you watch Al Jazeera?

[tabatha]

19. You cannot bomb non-existent anti-aircraft sites.

The only way to get involved is by boots on the ground.

Obama does not want boots on the ground again.
It is not as though he has not tried.

[joshcryer]

23. I believe there should be a push by the UN to act in Zimbabwe!

[Critters2]

24. Yeah. Good luck with that.

But don't hold your breath.

[joshcryer]

21. Whichever one the UN decides should go next!

[a la izquierda]

35. Hey, America doesn't always need dictators...

I'm sure there's a democratically elected world leader who we can subvert, resulting in the deaths of thousands.

[Lyric]

38. Are there any others who are bombing their own people?

Any others who are using military aircraft and explosives to kill civilians for the awful "crime" of wanting his ass gone?

If there are--that would definitely be the one to go after next. With the UN's approval, of course.

:shrug:

[Fire Walk With Me]

3. Isn't it part of the Geneva Convention that we don't kill the rulers of other countries?

In this case, the Libyans would have a vote in that sort of thing.

[malaise]

They tore that up ages ago

The Western imperialists do what the fuck they want :puke:
Bush and Cheney killed more people than Saddam killed and Obama and those two RW lunatics will do the same.

[Change Happens]

11. Who are the 2 RW lunatics?

[Obamanaut]

6. What is your stance on the death penaly vs life imprisonment in the US? And, is that

a peace symbol?

13. It is more like: hope, change, then kill...

[niyad]

15. welcome to DU

[GSLevel9]

8. he's expected on TV later tonight.

Condemning the Crusaders.

I think the text will read:

Dar Dar, Zenga Zenga Obama.

Dar Dar, Zenga Zenga Sarkozy.

Or something like that.

[krabigirl]

10. Ok, as another poster asked, what about kim John-il? What about Yemen? China? And so on.

The only silver lining is that these constant wars will completely bankrupt us, rendering us impotent in these affairs in the future. Empires always die because of stuff like this.

[Warren Stupidity]

12. isn't war fun?

[Cleita]

14. Why kill him?

Capturing him and taking him to Gitmo would be good. Taking him to the Hague to be accused of war crimes would be better.

[cali]

I find your op both repugnant and chilling.

[HEyHEY]

33. Not nearly as bad as posts suggesting we allow him to slaugther people unchecked.

[old mark]

16. We should have killed him 30 years ago...nt

[niyad]

17. the same question I have been asking for decades--what if the rest of the world decides that regime

change needs to happen HERE? we, after all, possess the largest stockpile of wmd's in the entire world, and are, quite frankly, acting like barbarians.

[HipChick]

18. What if the rest of the world deems Manning's treatment inhumane?

We need to stop acting like the world's policeman...

[niyad]

22. or the world's "moral authority"

[tekisui]

25. I do not support targeted assassinations. That is not our job.

[Critters2]

26. And I hope I'm never moved to use the phrase "I sure hope we can kill..." followed by the name

of any human being. Ever.

[whosinpower]

27. No

That would be far too easy on him. I would hope that he is captured - alive. I would hope he would be imprisoned and forced to face justice.

Killing him outright will make him a martyr...and he should face the people he oppressed, stand witness to their condemnation and accept the consequences.

[Change Happens]

29. He may be one of the most hated leaders ever...He won't be martyr

Lybians will dance in the streets...

[whosinpower]

41. Do you think he flies, drives and targets

All protesters by himself? No? He HAS people on his side. He HAS people who are loyal to him. For the most part - the military are STILL loyal to him.

So - yes - there certainly are people who would see him as a martyr should he be tarteted and killed.

[David__77]

28. This is repulsive.

This country, the United States, needs to be taught a real lesson apparently.

[Change Happens]

30. ?

[HEyHEY]

32. I want him alive so he can stand trial in a Libyan court.

[Prometheus Bound]

34. WTF?

Where do these people come from?

[TheCanadianLiberal]

36. Are we really any better then him...

If we set out to kill him? I think not.

[Incitatus]

37. Yes, we are.

What about the thousands he is killing?

[TheCanadianLiberal]

39. So were better...

then him if we kill him for killing? If we kill him we are no better then him.

[StarburstClock]

40. What is the meaning of a peace sign?

It sure doesn't seem to have any meaning sometimes.

[KurtNYC]

42. and then what?

Anarchy
free for all
military coup
power vacuum
islamic dictatorship?

Who is "we" ?
