Conservatives on this forum seem to have fallen in line with the idea that we shouldn't be involved with Libya at all. Conservatives on Capitol Hill are calling for a more active role and claiming that we should have gone ahead unilaterally without Arab League and UN support. Can someone explain why there's such a disconnect? Is it just that the party line has simply not yet been estabilshed on this issue or is there genuine debate within the GOP?


Graham: Time to

Graham’s message to the president: “Get rid of this man. Don’t be uncertain in your statements. Be bold, be effective, work with the international community. Replace this international outlaw sooner rather than later.”

John McCain: “He (President Obama) waited too long, there is no doubt in my mind about it. But now, it is what it is,” McCain said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” taped Friday. “We need now to support him and the efforts that our military are going to make. And I regret that it didn’t – we didn’t act much more quickly, and we could have.”

2 people with opinions and you call that "the party line" ?

You're stretching to blame this on the Repubs.
Obama authorized this "military action" himself.

Bluefly seems to desperately need there to be some sort of support for the unprovoked bombing of Libyan forces.

Nope. I'm just curious why there's such a disconnect in messaging.

Same reason such a disconnect on the Dem side.
Typically Dems are against war or any "military actions".

Lindsay Graham and John McCain are SOROS RINO's. That is as far from Conservative as Obama! Get a clue OP.

As an American, I would hope there would be differing views within a party on something as consequential as bombing a foriegn nation killing innocent civilians. Nothing is worse than blindly following a party line.

Hopefully the Democratic party will be able to show that it too has differing views on wasting money and lives and they can stop Obama from continuing this nonsense of bombing Libya.

When did I ever blame it on Republicans? This is completely Obama's operation to sink or swim. I'm just wondering why some support it and others do not, while still others want more.

Expect Graham to be looking for a new job come the next election.
He is not liked here since his selling out.

The Arab League has condemned the bombings....
