#2 Oh Really???

Not picking sides?

Just bombing whatever in Libya?

While you are at it hook up some sprayers and do some crop dusting, it is almost boll weavil season you know.

Everytime someone in NATO opens their mouth, I have blood running out of my ears...and a migraine.

What on earth has happened to that place?

Is Obama in charge of NATO? or is Litchestein running it?

#3 So when Obama said in his speech we will "assist the opposition" he prolly just meant we're gonna help the rebels open twitter and facebook accounts.

#6 I wonder if the Russians see this inane crap and regret they didn't come pouring through the Fulda Gap back in the 80's.

#7 What are all these do gooders gonna do when the heroic, freedom loving rebels start murdering civilians in Tripoli whom they suspect of being sympathetic to Daffy?

Sorry, Anders. Your argument about protecting civilians is every bit as bogus as Hamid Karzai and the Talibunnies bemoaning the way NATO troops kill civilians in Afghanistan. In other words, you are a damn liar because you know as well as everybody else that the term civilian has no meaning in these Third World conflicts. They don't have regular, uniformed, standing armies and they did NOT sign the Geneva Convention treaties. Those rebels all look like civilians except for the fact that they are carrying AK-47s and RPGs. When they die their buddies pick up the weapons and they become civilians again. Neat, huh? Yeah, and they require their troops to be any certain age before they take up arms either.

Why don't you just tell us the truth which is that you want Daffy's oil and you think he's an easy mark unlike the Mad Mullahs of Iran who really do murder civilians, support terrorism and who really do pose a danger to the rest of the world?

#8 Yeah, and they require their troops to be any certain age before they take up arms either.

Sorry, I meant they do NOT require their troops to be any certain age before they take up arms. I proofread it but not well enough.

#9 How many sides are there in the area formally called Libya? Team Daffy and the Tribes Called Questionable certainly.

NATO, European Union, Mediterranian Union, Africa Union, Arab League, OIC, UN with bonus of Libya on Human Rights Board, OPEC, thoght I saw the Organization of American States wanted their say on account of US&Canada, who'd I miss (besides the non-nation clubs but perhaps should include)?
