Obama in 2002: Toppling Brutal Dictator a ‘Dumb War’

[ELVIS]

I guess you liberal dumbasses voted Bush back in after all...

[Kristy]

STFU Elvis.

[ELVIS]

Is that all you got freak ??

[Nitro Express]

Obama is the black Bush.

[binnie]

Bullshit!

It is the same and the goal is regime change...

And if Gaddafi doesn't leave on his own soon (and he's not leaving) troops will be on the ground...

Mmmmm.....it's not quite the same really, is it?

Don't get me wrong, I am horrified at the UN's 'intervention' in Libya. But it's not regime change, or a 'revenge' attack for 9/11, or about imposing democracy.

About the only think Iraq and Libya have in common is OIL.

[ELVIS]

It absolutely is regime change!

George Soros and Zibignew Brzenski ran a wonderful con job with Obama. They really had the Democrats snookered using their own political correctness and fixation on socialism to do it with. The sad thing is the cost to us for this con. It's probably the most expensive con in US history.

Not yet it isn't - UN troops have not attempted to oust Gaddafi. It might escalate that way - depending on whether or not it can be sold as 'legal' - but at present the UN has not officially supported the rebels.

If the UN had wanted to push through regime change, it would happened by now.

[ELVIS]

They are trying to sell it first...

It's simple as that and the reason France is involved it they get a lot of oil from there.

Yep. My point is that other UN countries should be taking a more active role, otherwise it just feeds into extremist anti-US/UK propaganda which portrays us as imperialists.

I don't understand that statement, I think you just made it up.

Libya provides 2% of the world's oil. Why did France have to buy from them? Why can't they buy from someone else? Libya is a member of OPEC.

Anyway France is less oil dependant than most being 80% nuclear.

A cynic might say that it is more likely because their president is low in the polls with an election next year.

We know why the Europeans wanted action against Libya:
