SURVIVAL
The UN seems intent on invading or at least bombing Libia. And U.S. forces will it seems, as per usual, be in the thick of it. Pardon me for sounding like a hick who inappropriately points out the obvious at a swank soiree, but I must ask:
1.) Why are we directly sticking out noses into a civil war?
2.) Who gave the U.N. debating society the God-like omniscience to deem Gaddafi's national government "illegitimate"?
3.) When did Congress abrogate its power to declare war? And,
4.) Why is the current Administration so intent on replacing an ostensibly secular dictatorship with an Islamic dictatorship?

Pilot ejects out of plunging warplane
"According to tonight's Channel 4 news the warplane shot down over the Libyan town of Benghazi this morning may have been one of the rebels' own planes, accidentally shot down by friendly fire rather than rather than part of the government forces sent in by Colonel Gadaffi as first thought.
Lets rewind that for a moment, this was a rebel warplane? am I just being dumb or were you all aware that the rebels had their own war planes and the means of shooting them down? Was I not listening when the government told us that by embarking on this humanitarian intervention in Libya, where we will be bombing Libyan government forces, we would be taking sides not with unarmed civilians but with armed insurgents with their own war planes and anti-aircraft missiles?"

Well, it all depends on what you consider unarmed.
ReplyDeleteKind of like the definition of the word "is".
I wonder what's going to happen when those anti-government forces start shooting at everything in the air- including French aircraft.
Another complete mess, as we continue to ignore the wisdom of George Washington.
