How badly does your sense of reality have to be distorted to think this is even remotely comparable to a full scale ground invasion??

Hypocrisy, lies, deflection, and a host of other 'disorders' are just standard traits for a leftie.

Iraq is a disgusting travesty. George W Bush is a war criminal, and should spend the rest of his days rotting in The Hauge for Iraq.

I fully support intervention in Libya.
Why do you support Libya?
Because Libya was killing it's own people?

(WTF) ?
It was a guarantee his aircraft would be,most were outdated,same as his anti-aircraft capability.

Actually his entire military is pretty outdated,tanks from the 1960's-1970's for example.

I have to say, at least when the neo-con Republicans banged the drums of war, it was to spread democracy throughout the world. When liberals bang the drums of war, it's to spread Sharia Law throughout the world. That'll be the end result of toppling Gaddafi's regime. Al-Qaeda is waiting in the wings ready to impose Sharia Law. I guess that's why liberals don't object to this war. I guess that's why liberals don't object to our military killing civilians in Libya, yet they object to them punching a terrorist in the mouth in Iraq. Just goes to show you that all the war protests that took place when Bush was in office were just grandstanding. They didn't care one bit about the troops, the Iraqi civilians, or anyone else for that matter. It was all just a means to undermine a Republican President. Pure and simple.
I know war is war to Repugs ( a very GOOD thing to Repugs) but the Iraq invasion cannot be compared to the Libyan situation (by INTELLIGENT people).





Now, Repugs don't like Muslims and fear sharia law....so


WHY


did they rush eagerly into slaughter to "save" Iraqis?


IRAQ


a country that


is 74%


Muslim?
