And I am not arguing the merit of this Libya conflict, I'm just saying stop defining it as a war when it is not
The only reason you don't want to define this as a war is because you support Obama, I care more about the innocent people we are killing in Iraq and Libya than I do about Obama and the PC crowd here that support him no matter what idiotic thing he does today.

otherwise you are wrong. We were at war with Iraq in Desert Storm (1990-1991) and we were at war during Operation Iraqi Freedom (beginning in 2003).

again show me any reference where it states U.S has been at war with Iraq from 1991-2003

We were able to enforce an no-fly zone over Iraq from 1991 to 2003 without going to a full scale ground war. And when we did go to a ground war it was a war of choice.

This has nothing to do with the OP, Libya or Obama so if you want to talk about it start your own thread.

You have a right to feel that way. But I am not defining it as a war because technically and by defintion it is not a WAR.

All I know is Obama was getting bashed heavily by the right for what that described as doing nothing in Libya. they said he was a weak President for letting innocent ppl get killed without action in Libya.

And now that Obama with a coalition from the UN has taken action. Tne right is now bashing Obama for taking action and going to another "war" we cant afford.

Its all political b.s. (the bashing of Obama no matter what he does)

You're deflecting Backspace because I was proving you wrong. My post that you said isnt the OP topic was a directly response to you saying that we have been at war with Iraq since the no fly zone in the 1990s.

Again my post was to prove you wrong.

Thoughout this thread and in other post Critics of Obama have said we are in 3rd war because of the no fly zone. Again I'm proving here that that bashing is inaccurate.

I'm not deflecting anything, you're trying to drag this thread in a completely different direction because you don't like where it's going. If you want to talk about this crap start another thread and stop hijacking this one.

I've said for two years that the only difference between Bush and Obama was that Obama hadn't started an unjustified war. Well, I guess I can check that one off the list...
