22 nations in the Arab League and TWENTY of them voted in favor of enforcing a No Fly Zone with U.S. participation.
Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are already set to send planes in. Iraq, Jordan and Morocco are in talks with Secretary Clinton about their role.
Spin, spin, spin.
You HATE it that Barack Obama is DOING what George Bush LIED about doing; forging a broad-based coalition of countries who are all interested in the same goal, working together to that end.
You just HATE that.
That's it. Stick to those talking points.
We'll see how long all the so called support lasts... Mark these posts to see how accurate they are later.
Next thing you know, Obama is going to cozy up with some big oil folks!!! Oh, wait, already did with Petrobras in Brazil, shut down any new offshore drilling in our gulf, then loaned Brazil $2billion to drill offshore there and announced that he wants America to become a major purchaser of Brazil oil.
So lets look at this. Obama keeps Gitmo open, carries out the plan for Iraq withdrawal that Bush announced years ago, maintains war efforts in Afghanistan, supports corporate greed and control (just different corporations and different controls than Republicans), and now he approves a military strike on Libya because their despot refuses to follow the will of the international community.
I keep telling people the Dems and Reps are 2 sides of the same coin and in spite of blatant evidence, people deny deny deny.
Yep. Crips and bloods. Only these gangsters never go to jail. Worst case scenario they "resign".
No, absolutely not. This would never have happened had Gaddafi hadn't been attacking his people. the problem is there are many evil dictators in countries around the world, or coups where one group tries to annihilate another, and we don't interfer. I think we did with Libya because they are an oil producing nation.
All I want to know is all I've heard for the last ten years from liberals is "we shouldn't be the world's policeman" and "we shouldn't be nation building". Yet, here we are with Obama-D doing exactly that. Where is the outrage now from these people? All I see from the same people raging against Bush is support for Obama.
Yes, and if we have to protect people from dictators in Libya, well what about Bahrain? What about Iran? What about China? What about <insert name of totalitarian state here>? What is Obama going to do about these countries? Why only Libya?
Libya is not located near any strategic locations. Libya only produces 1-2% of the world's oil. Not enough to get us actively involved in that region. Oh yes, what about the whole Bush "invading for big oil" thing? Is that why we're invading Libya now? Again, where is the outrage from the Bush haters?

True,Obama is President and so the party shills support bombing other nation now.
Warms my heart to see the little warhawks like yourself supporting unprovoked attacks on another nation.
