Checking in late, but for fuck’s sake, really Obama? We’re fighting an endless money pit of a war that’s sole purpose is to distract us from the destruction of the middle class. The rich just want to line their pockets and have everyone else starve to death. Libya will undoubtedly be another clusterfuck. I think it’s great we’re defending the people, but you’ve gotta wonder who has something to gain. ---

I’m not one to follow, watch, or bark about conspiracies or end times. But… It really seems like our Government is doing everything it can to kill our independence as a self sustaining world power. Just my opinion. ---

If this was going to happen it should’ve happened weeks ago when the rebels controlled more of the country. As long as this doesn’t go any further than our “Can Opener” offense where we engage the enemy with our smart weapons and fighter jets than OK but we can ill afford another boots on the ground campaign. ---

The day things change is the day politicians from either party stop only worrying about reelection and start actually caring. That won’t happen anytime soon. Especially when the voters know more about the American Idol winner than their representative. ---

This is the price to pay to be the greatest superpower and leader of the western world, you take the reins on global incidences. And everyone talking about how THIS is a waste of money? Please. We spent billions of dollars every day in Afghanistan alone, plus $500b more in defense spending around the world. Droppin a couple mil in a few tomahawks is a drop in the bucket. If everyone suddenly gives a shit about spending, fix the big problems, not the small ones like this that are saving a few ten thousand lives. Personally? If the rest of the world wants to kill each other and not us for once, go for it. Either nuke and pave the whole middle east and north Africa or let’s mind our own damn business. America - fumbling foreign policy and making new enemies since 1950. /rant [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/us-launches-military-action-against-lybia/257418.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/us-launches-military-action-against-lybia/257418.md?page=3)
