Obama - is just some front for fat rich guys - who prosper through lucrative military contracts if there is a conflict - artifical or other wise - It does not matter to them.

Nato probably killed with their high tech bombing runs - as many innocent civilians as they did so-called bad guys..Lybia will resent the west for the next few generations as does Iraq.. as for these "rebels" I saw a clip of them tossing bodies over a bridge and screaming "God is great" - same old crap- you can not exile the proverbial satan useing the methods of satan.

Thousands March in Manhattan Against War
By LESLIE EATON

It was a beautiful day for a demonstration - sunny, breezy and just warm enough - as more than 100,000 New Yorkers took to the streets today to protest the war in Iraq.

For four hours beginning at noon, the peaceful crowd ambled, danced and marched down Broadway from Herald Square to Waverly Place and then over to Washington Square Park. The organizers of the march said that the crowd exceeded a quarter of a million; the police declined to give an official estimate.

I like how they rant that they will fight to the death but crawl away and hide like the snakes they are.

Bush, Cheney and Rummy?

They should all be giving speeches at OWS.

I've still not seen anyone in our government define who the "rebels" actually are. Probably never will. Now the islamists have control of Egypt and Libya. What country do you want next is probably what our leaders are asking. Syria anybody?

When an oil guy who is used to sitting at a board room table decides he is going to wage a war - which will be costly because he has no expertise` in this area...is a foolish and cowardly act. Cheney is a nasty little self righteous man - but he got his in the end - Like a robot in pegatory - with a battery pack strapped to his sick ass. Knowing that your very next breath is dependent not on yourself or God but on some device and some egg head team of high paid doctors that have total control over you - Cheney use to parrot the word freedom...and in the end - he lost every last bit of his..so goes it with hypocrites - and torture...now it is his turn.
