I have a funny feeling france, italy and britain are going to be headed in on foot but we will not be part of that unless it is an advisement type role.

Who is this "we" that you speak of?

Exactly. I like Kucinich a great deal, but he's a bit overboard here.

If that pathetic George Bush wasn't impeached for what he did, I doubt if a president ever can be again.

Can you elaborate on that or is this another one of your baseless Bush bashing troll & run posts? That's rhetorical BTW....

Here is my problem with Libya. We dont know who the other side is. We have rumblings that Al Quada supports to rebels as well as Iran. Sure Qudaffi Duck is a bad guy, but why insert ourselves in the middle of a Civil War?

Concerning the bombing that happened in the 80s. When did we know he was behind it and why the hell didnt we go after him at that point? I dont think we had any business at this point getting involved in this, especially if we dont know who the side we are "defending" is.

I realize polls show a majority is for this operation. I can understand that to a point, the way things have been reported. But when you look at everything, all the facts and ask questions, can it really be that easy to support our actions?

Lastly, if people sat there and crapped on Bush over Iraq, they should certainly do the same here. Bush believed Iraq was a threat, on what we now know was false information. So he did what he thought was something to protect America. And he was bashed for it. Now we have Obama, inserting the US into a civil war when we dont even know who we are defending. And for the most part, Obama is getting a pass from many, but not all.

Didn't say he was doing a bad job. I'm not complaining about him doing a bad job. I'm complaining about this war nonsense. I hate wars more than i like him. It's really that simple.

And Ron Paul? Nope. He's a Republican. I don't vote for Republicans in national elections. I'm not a masochist.
