Like I said....Europe wanted the Libyan intervention. President Obama has played along....and now will 'hand off' leadership in
matter of days. See the article.

But as Europe assembles its forces for this intervention. The question becomes......do the EU countries intend to stay within the UN Mandate of no troops on the ground term.

We have seen SAS detained by rebells....and 3 Dutch soldiers by Qdaffi forces already. These all prior to the UN mandate. So?
Is England, France, Italy, and the rest of NATO and the EU going to play by the UN rules?

Here some of these countries don't have a good track record. The Suez Canal operation was a joint covert operation of the English and French...and one that the US had to bail them out of.

If Qdaffi has gone a deep...as in deep bunker...hidden and remote....were we cannot find him....are the Europeans going to be happy just sitting and waiting for him to launch some counter? I don't think so.

They have to break the UN mandate of no boot on the ground. They have to get not just Qdaffi but his sons and the leaders of his tribe. It ain't just Qdaffi here, fellows.

So with Qdaffi family to inherit the Col shoes (power and position).....if if you find him with a missile strike.....
by accident of course.....because we don't target gov't leaders...cough cough. The US is now saying that Qdaffi's smoking resident was struck by two BRITISH cruise missiles.
Both made in the US by the way.

I don't think that the Europeans have a choice here. They have to go on a Qdaffi hunt with boots on the ground. To simply leave him in power...opens the door for Lockerbie and WMD terrorist attacks. So this is a for the Europeans is a have to do.

And likely for the US.....also a have to do.

So look for a revised UN Mandate....soon...one that has the Arab League up in arms over the permission to place troops into Libya....

I'll never forget the time he came home on leave and was asked by one of his friends if it was dangerous on the way home or on the way there.He looked at that person and just rolled his eyes and walked away. All wars are dangerous.

katt1017: I know a few Vietnam era vets that would love to have a face to face chat with you about that statement.

You would not love the experience.
Actress and anti-war advocate Jane Fonda at a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft battery in June 1972 singing an anti-war song with soldiers during her visit to North Vietnam


Well Katt... soldiers were soldiers and did what they were ordered to do and the war over there was both absoloutely STUPID and WRONG and out of touch with humanity and not good for any body what so ever other than STUPID greedy and lier warmongers who had no clue what so ever a bout any thing useful what so ever and revenge became the reason of countinuation and shi* happened major time back then in Vietnam and with horrible out comes...

Those some whom you say you know and want to have a face to face chat and beating one up if against THAT stupid war in Vietnam thinking emotionally and I definately understand their feelings... when that is said the fact a bout Vietnam war was absoultely STUPID never ever changes and millions of Vietnameese and tousands of americans and soldiers from other nations were parished and millions destroyed in mind for not a Dang thing what so ever and many absolutely destructed in mind dangerous personalities as John McCain are still around and able to dammage others every day lives because of not being treated proffesionally after they came back from that war and were too macho to search treatment or because treatmnet system was no good enough back then looking upon problems proffesionally or recognising the problem at all.

Those you refer to and want to beat some body up if critising that war, are definately wrong having that kind of assumption because the main problem is and will always be the american government back then started THAT Stupid participation in Vietnam just because of ideology and just for creating another boggeyman and being able to Milk America by mumbo jumbo BS right winged Stupid as usual... and many human beings were lost for not a Damn thing dunno moping

The honorable anti war movment in America agaisnt the STUPID Vietnam war and against creation of more mentally dammaged McCains... was absoultely fabulous and forced american politicians finally stop that participation and ending the dang war over there ... of course America even lost the war in Vietnam even killing millions and millons due to the wrong decision of some bribed politicians but with out those honorable anti war movments also participated in by Jane Fonda american participation in war would not end...

No body becomes a "Holy figur" just because of having a job which is to go there and killing others under orders Katt and reasons of wars or what is behind the decisions and who makes the decisions and why are those measures defying the out come of wars or making people think a bout those wars after ending... other than that... just a job and not a thing else.

And this is for you by the way Katt roll eyes tongue

President Obama's Russian friend......grin ...Premier Putin...just said the the US and west are in a "medieval crusade on Qdaffi."

Since the tone has been reset with Russia....I guess one can call Premier Putin....President Obama friend? Russia did abstain to let the Libyan intervention to happen.

But now seem that Mr. Putin has had a changed of heart. Which is funny....considering the number of times....Col Putin...literally destroyed Chechnya.

So first the Arab Leagues begins to flip. Now Russia begins to flip. Any I seeing a pattern developing here on the world support for the Libyan intervention?

If all the REP and Tea Party moved to the AZ...the other 56 (according to President Obama) would have a employment rate of over 50%....have chaos in the streets...similar to Greece....

It is not a bout a flip TT... folks just demand being careful not to harm civilians and that,s it! Arab league leader announced to day they are not agaisnt the military action at all but are concerned a bout possible civilian casualities and that is absolutely a well defined reasoning you see?

This action on Quaddafi will be fast and smooth and will not have to countiue too long... Quaddafi is a scared figur and can not live with out luxury around him and is no desert fighter some ting what so ever and that particular part of his complicated personality and beside the big size of Libya and easy targets to find will make his regim defeated rather easy conversing

They are already saying in Europe.....this is going to be longer than a few days. Obama already trying to do a hand off to European authories. Gates said it would be only a few days.

They know.....that the Arab League, Russia and China are going to flip on this. That is why they want to hand off ASAP.

But those parties in Europe....needing a long conflict...to put boots on the ground....are not going to let them. Obama is fighting this war for Europeans. The US gets less 1% of oil from
Libya and with our newly tapped oil fields...we are engery free in a couple of years.

So we spend millions on a deficit ridden budget and weakened economy.....for Europe again. European economies....mot all under austerity right now....cannot fight a long conflict in Libya. So they had to get the US....and the
World's President to do it for them.

Someday, we should get a American President that does things for the American people and the United States of America. Instead of for the 'world'. Maybe in 2012?

You watch....NATO is not fully onboard yet. Turkey kept them out it. Now with Putin and Arab League beginning to flip.....NATO countries like Germany, Norway, Spain are going to find ways to stay out of it.

That is why we should pulled out of NATO years ago.

OBAMA – a Traitor, and a War Criminal? – WHERE'S CONGRESS?
Published on 03/20/11
By JB Williams

Jbwilliams09@gmail.com

On the eighth anniversary of the day President George W. Bush ordered US troops into Iraq in 2003, with the full support of the US Congress and majority support from the UN Security Council, Barack Obama launched a Tomahawk missile assault on the sovereign nation of Libya with no majority support in the UN and without even consulting congress.

Acting alone while congress was away on recess, solely at the command of the United Nations and without constitutional authority, Barack Obama dropped over $70 million worth of Tomahawk missiles on the sovereign nation of Libya in a dictatorial maneuver to force regime change of a foreign land.

He launched a military assault on Libya under what authority? To be certain, Gadhafi is no prize, but what Obama just did is far worse. Acting all alone in a truly imperialistic fashion, Obama violated his Oath of Office, Article I and II of the US Constitution and The War Powers Act all in one mindless kneejerk decision.

Article II – Section II of the US Constitution identifies the US President as the civilian oversight of the US Military and Commander-in-Chief. But it gives the US President no authority to use military might to enforce its political will upon foreign nations.

Article I – Section VIII of the US Constitution rests the power to declare war solely with the US Congress. It requires both the Commander-in-Chief and Congress to commit US troops to combat, without which the act is wholly unconstitutional.

Even the Washington Times managed to get this one right in its editorial – Obama's Illegal War.

The 1973 War Powers Act was put in place to prevent a US President from doing exactly what Barack Obama just did.

SEC. 2. (a) It is the purpose of this joint resolution to fulfill the intent of the framers of the Constitution of the United States and insure that the collective judgment of both the Congress and the President will apply to the introduction of United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, and to the continued use of such forces in hostilities or in such situations.

A US Commander-in-Chief can order use of military force in only three specific conditions…

(1) a declaration of war,

(2) specific statutory authorization, or

(3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

Thank you for showing more of what Republicanism really means TT cheers

A good war is only a war a bout Oil and since not much Libya oil for US then to hell with human life right? and you also beleive Europe is in this war just for oil? How come? Are you really beleiving the whole entire world have gone Republican or some thing? Republicanism is definately not admirable any way TT and Europeans do not even need your kind of ideology destrying this place as well ! We had enough of that shi* when THAT GWB THE mother of all Buzo was on charge in ur country and not a dang thing admirable was there back then you see?

President Obama and Europe chosed to participate because of humanity and not because of Oil mister fister! You got to learn in life that there are just a tiney minority of human beings runned by the exact same kind of devistating ideology of ur guys TT and a great majority of human beings actually beleive in decency!conversing
