If you can show me where I called is a UN success, we can talk about it, but I don't remember calling UN success. Which post are you referring to?
Of course UN, and participating NATO countries deserve credit too as they all played a part in it, as did the US. UN made a quick decision to authorize the use of force in order to end the genocide, and that authorization enabled the US led air campaign to begin, which stopped the killings and eventually. Without the air campaign, Libya would have turned into another Rwanda.
If you somehow managed to stop making everything about Obama, you would be able to see this as a victory for US as a nation, and victory for freedom in general. But the thought that Obama was involved obviously makes it impossible for you to see anything good in it.
A victory for the US????? We took advantage of a temporarily destabilized government because of a civil uprising, what victory??
You seem uncaring about dead and wounded Libyans...who ARE brown by the way.
On the contrary, I think it was important to end the genocide. You seem to disagree.....

No war?Why then was the USA bombing Libya for the last several months,for fun?
What genocide was that?Ohhh,POTENTIAL genocide...meaning no actual PROOF.You mean militarily overthrowing tyrants around the globe is now the USA's job?Syria up next?Yemen?Iran?
I said no war against Libya. It was FOR Libya, not against it. The genocide was already in its way. Study up a little.
I said "US led air campaign begun". The campaign did in fact begin with US Navy firing off over 100 Tomahawk missiles and sending their aircraft to take out key targets. The others followed our lead. Are these facts offensive to you?
Look, if you don't want to give any credit to US and our armed forces, then don't. It is not mandatory.
Obama's leadership style of calm and thoughtful is a whole hell of a lot better than the erratic and knee jerk reactions of most in the GOP. Obama's leadership as commander in chief will be a reason why he wins next year.
Oh, so you admit that he committed an act of treason by entering into an armed conflict in another country, when we were not being directly attacked, without getting permission from Congress?
The one in Libya, where Gadaffi's forces were killing civilians.
Did you think that maybe I was taking about some other event?
