When did Iraq ask us to attack them?
When they stopped accepting paper dollars for their real natural resource, oil.

So just how does Bush taking out Saddam, not the same as Obama taking out Qaddafi and involving us in Syria and Libya war, you know the "secret war"? Knowing that the Muslim-Brotherhood was waiting in the wings. We'll see how well the Iraqi's like him when they're left unprotected.

Apart from the invasion, the 10-year occucation, the 4,000 US servicemen killed and the tens of thousands maimed? Or, if such matters to you, the money dumped into each respective war? Or, if you will, the fact that there was already a massive opposition movement in Libya?

Can you blame them?
It was their oil to do with as they pleased.

The US thinks it runs the world, but it's just the schoolyard bully.

What you think you have more heart then others when it comes to Iraq and Afghanistan

Are you going to ignore the secret money being dumped in Libya, there wasn't a massive opposition, until we decide Qaddafi had to go. Then, word was given to Muslim Brotherhood to uprise. As you see we were there and did nothing to help Qaddafi, who the U.S. use to support. You really think Muslim Brotherhood, is a better choice?

The congress never approved of this.............
The Obama administration is spending almost $9.5 million every single day to blow things up in Libya, because the president has determined that is in the country's national interest.

Your fine that troops are sent to Libya, as long as there out of Iraq or does such matter to you...........
The United States has sent some 12,000 soldiers to Libya, in the first phase of deployments to the oil-rich North African nation.

I'm sure, we'll be out soon...................
