People need to realize that we are a monetary world. I always hear "war for oil" but oil is money. With the economic time if France must have the oil that they rely on. France lives on oil for heating, industry and power. What would be the condition of that country if they lose it.
If the up rising takes hold as others have in the region and France dose not support the winning side it may very well send their country into a depression or worse.
Yep. We should've demanded that they pay for the whole damn enterprise if they weren't going to participate.

This is the same UN which put Libya into it's human rights council (http://gatewaypundit.rightnetwork.com/2010/05/obama-administration-refuses-to-condemn-libyas-election-into-the-un-human-rights-council/ - broken link) with Obama's approval. You know, the same UN which is now endorsing attacking Libya for human rights violations.
BTW, Russia, China, and Germany are NOT on board with this. So much for world support.

And because it's "all over the news" doesn't mean a thing.
WMD's were all over the news at one time.

Basically, Obama waited for permission to strike, whereas GWB took the initiative. This is all political posturing on the part of the Obama Administration. I can't count how many times Secretary Clinton reiterated that this was an "international coalition" in yesterday's presser. My point? It was excruciatingly obvious that the word passed down to her from the President was to make sure she doesn't paint it as an American intervention.
Those who are quick to point out the other countries' involvement sure are slow to admit that the United States is providing far more support than any other country.
That sure sounds like a "US led" effort to me, just like Iraq.
All of you are right on the money!!!
[quote=Bluefly;18357832]Ummm... what's wrong with CNN? They're the most balanced between the loony left MSNBC and the loony right Fox. There is NOTHING balanced about CNN. ?It's jokingly referred to as the Communist News Network. They have bled viewers for years. Fox leads in viewership because their analysis IS fairly presented. Period. CNN is now trying to change its presentation to be only news, which they do better than analysis, which is always slanted with left leaning loons.
Anyway - the opinion is from an expert in national security at NYU. So, unless you have a problem with NYU, please focus on the content and not the messenger. ANY national security 'expert' from NYU is suspect to me as it's a liberally bent university, therefore, the analysis their 'expert' would present would be biased and slanted in the lefts direction.[/quote]

If the USA invades a nation to secure natural resources vital to it's prosperity you would be okay with it?

You're hijacking this thread with obsession over what news source he was presented on, but Fox has high viewers precisely because they are not balanced. They have an agenda and a lot of people want to hear that agenda. Don't be deceived.

Great, another anti-intellectual who has no clue how diverse ideas in universities are and dismisses a perspective because of it.
