Libya says NATO bombing kills 718 civilians | Reuters

"(Reuters) - NATO's bombing campaign has killed 718 Libyan civilians, government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said on Tuesday.

He said 4,067 civilians had been wounded, 433 of them seriously. The figures were current to May 26.

NATO has denied killing large numbers of civilians, and foreign reporters in Tripoli have not been shown evidence of large numbers of civilian casualties."

King Obama's illegal war. Two weeks have passed since the outside limit on time he was required by law to get Congressional approval but he doesn't think the rules apply to him. Is there a reason Obama should not be tried for war crimes? He has rendered aid and arms to Al-Qaeda in Libya; is that not treason?

If Bush were still president then liberals here would jump all over this story saying Bush killed these innocent civilians. Considering Lybia's track record, those people were killed by their own government.

What isn't clear from the link is how many members of the military in Libya have been murdered in this undelcared war. I'd suspect those losses are even greater than civilian ones. Obama has refused to explain how supporting one side in a civil war is in America's interests.

No. To oppose what Obama has done with our troops does not equate to supporting a dictator be it a Libyan one or the one usurping our White House.

Perhaps you should read Ron Paul's book The Revolution before you repeat such silly statements.

That's a drop in the bucket compared to all the civilians slaughtered in Iraq by the Bushies
