So when are the lefties going to march in the street comparing Obama to Hitler now that he is going to bomb a country for their oil?

No no no, see if he's doing it, its the right thing. He would never do anything to harm anyone. We all just love him so much that we know this must be true. I mean look at him. He's black, for fucks sake. How could he ever be wrong?

DAMN! That has to be a typo, that many missles at only 20 targets and anyone is surprised at collateral damage?

They are now saying that US & UK fired 112 combined. They made it sound like it was all us at first.

It's war. Collateral damage happens. Sure, it sucks, but war isn't all roses and puppy dog kisses as Al would say.

Oh I know there will be collatral damage, there is no way around it no matter how smart ordinances are. I was just saying, thats alot of missles at "only" 20 targets.

What exactly has Khaddafi done to us or threatened to do to us that justifies attacking him?

[Slowhand]

Yet another UN initiated conflict whose blood will be left only on our hands. Watching us play world police and instituting regime change as we see fit is getting pretty old.
