We would certainly have more flexibility if Bush had not gotten us involved in Iraq.

Somebody should fly a plane full of Libyans into GQ's palace.

Anyone whose name has that many spellings should be shot straight off, just for making it so damn hard for reporters.

I agree, ZenQKum

European governments "completely puzzled" about U.S. position on Libya

Britain, France and the Arab League all demanded that KQGadddafffi go, and are now confused as to why the US isn't acting like the big boss for them on Libya.

Now they look like the impotent lip service players they really are, which is embarrassing for them.

Quote:

Clinton's unwillingness to commit the United States to a specific position led many in the room to wonder exactly where the administration stood on the situation in Libya.

"Frankly we are just completely puzzled," the diplomat said. "We are wondering if this is a priority for the United States."

On the same day, Clinton had a short meeting with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, in which Sarkozy pressed Clinton to come out more forcefully in favor of action in Libya. She declined Sarkozy's request, according to a government source familiar with the meeting.

Sarkozy told Clinton that "we need action now" and she responded to him, "there are difficulties," the source said, explaining that Clinton was referring to China and Russia's opposition to intervention at the United Nations. Sarkozy replied that the United States should at least try to overcome the difficulties by leading a strong push at the U.N., but Clinton simply repeated, "There are difficulties."

As things go, Kaddafi will be in Benghazi next week.

The resolution is worded interestingly. Protect civilians. Not protect rebel soldiers. Wonder how that will be interpreted?

To have an effective military response will take almost a week. Rebels may not even have Benghazi by then. May be desperately holding out in Tobruk.

KQGadddafffi is a pussy.

Slippery Slope.

We should let France do it. They are closest.

YES! Let's send the French!

France, Italy, Spain, hell even Egypt should be in on it. If we get dragged in militarily anyone who voted for Obama has no right to bitch about Bush's military exploits. This is a mistake.

Trilby · 03-18-2011, 02:52 PM

Srsly, though, the world can't have it both ways.

we should stay OUT of Libya. OUT OUT OUT.
