Oh by the way this is NOT a war nor is it an invasion, it is a intervention to keep thousands from dying under a lopsided fight
Psst,you might want to see what nations support this and where they get their oil from...

Also,you do know that the rebels are heavily armed right?

If the USA arms the rebels,it would be in violation of international law and the UN resolution the USA used to start this war.

Cost of Libya Intervention $600 Million for First Week, Pentagon Says - George Stephanopoulos' Bottom Line



Good grief. For what? To see AQ/radical muslims come to power?
Since when did the Neo Cons care about cost of war? You cheered Bush's Iraq and still defend it to this day. Libya is and will be but a drop in Iraq's bucket. Yet suddenly in 2008 the GOP become born again fiscal conservatives. I'm sure we should never doubt their sincere (/sarcasm) outrage should we?

Who can take this seriously?

Do you care about the cost,being a leftist and all?

Or does this war somehow not matter?

I've always cared about cost, however the fundamental difference between myself and the faux outrage on the right is that I understand the context. Something most of you are unable or unwilling to understand.

This whole Libya thing cracks me up. So much irony on both sides but I gotta admit, watching the left squirm over the bombing of a Muslin nation by their beloved Obama is priceless. After all that whining about weapons of mass destruction and the "war for oil" and the daily body counts in the left wing media during the Irag war. Lol. Two years into the Obama administration and Osama Bin Laden is completely off the radar screen, Gitmo is still open, Obama extended the Patriot act and we're bombing another Muslim nation. Hahahahahahahaha

Rock on liberals! Enjoy the hope and change.

I have been against intervention in Libya from the beginning,it is none of our business.

Which is worse to you,'faux outrage' at the cost of the war or NO outrage by those who just a few years ago were opposed to the USA attacking other nations?

Since when did the Progressives stop caring about the cost of war? They condemned Bush's Iraq and still condemn it to this day. Libya is now and may or may not be a drop in Iraq's bucket. Yet suddenly in [2011] the Dems become born again hawks. I'm sure we should never doubt their sincere support should we?
