Who supports Obama on this new war? Weren't we supposed to feel pure undiluted outrage over the Iraq war? At least this forum had trillions of words written on just how evil Bush was over the Iraq war. Now it's Iraq all over again in Libya...

Better yet, are the liberals now officially proclaiming "the Obama Doctrine" yet? Basically, the Obama Doctrine is "follow Hillary".

Oh, just watch, the libs will be proclaiming how intelligent this move is. They have zero idea what our military is for. I wonder how long it will take for him to put ground troups in. Yah, I know he said he wouldn't... but he's an empty suit. You can't believe anything he says or does.

Your poll is biased..I support what the UN is doing so far, but you adding "no matter what" to your first choice tells me what your bias is.

This is NOT an American war.

This isn't a war and it's not a US-led effort. Aside from two countries with a lot of sand, the basics of Iraq and Libya and the reasons for invading are fundamentally different.

Remember, too, that most liberals supported the Afghanistan invasion, so this isn't about blindly following Obama.

I won't vote in your silly poll, but you should educate yourself on current events before posting threads about them.

What a stupid question. It's not Obama's war in any sence of the word. It's UN action all the way. Doyou really think the French Brits Canadians and Italians would be interested in any "American" war???? The question is just typical stupidity of the Obama haters.

Certainly is an American led war today. Vast majority of missiles were from US forces.

Germany Russia and China got to sit this one out. Why couldn't we? If this is supposed to be such a cake walk, why couldn't the EU countries and the Arab coalition (where are they?) take care of the situation?


Like everything we touch in the Middle East, this will come back to haunt us.

We've got the anti Midas touch in that part of the globe.

Small point I know.

Let see, we've launched 112 Tomahawk missiles and are deploying amphibious ships towards Libya. It's now called Operation Odyssey Dawn. Lots of parallels to the start of the Iraq war.

Please refresh my memory, was the Iraq war good or bad.

Sounds like a "supports Obama no matter what" person to me.
