The military action in Libya is a United Nations sanctioned operation, not a United States operation.
The posters so far have not mentioned the French, Italians, British and other countries armed forces who are working on behalf of the UN.
It seems that some have very short memories when it comes to history.
If Hitler had been 'sorted out' in the mid 1930's, its possible that some 6 million Jewish people would have been spared the horror of concentration camps, not to mention over 20 million Russians and another 24 million people who died as a result of WW2.
More recently the genocide in old Yugoslavia,Bosnia and Serbia which the UN forces fought and died for in order to protect innocent peoples.
As far as am aware there is no UN resolution to put in ground troops.
Intially at the start of WW2, the United States wanted to stay neutral, I didnt have a problem with that, but it did not give them any security by being isolationist. ie: Pearl Harbour.
If any of you think I am anti American, I will take you the United States war memorial in Cambridge where 50,000 Americans lay, they gave their lifes so that WE all could live in freedom.
Its a debt I will always remember and honour.
Have to re-read the Book of Revelations, some of this stuff is kind of reminding me of something. Have to see if there are any clear close ups, of the back of Obama's head, see if there's a mark...
hi Harvey,
I think whats pi**ed the Lybian people off is the fact that Gadhafi intends to appointment his Son as his successor.!
Same thing that has happened in North Korea and what was planned for Egypt, fortunately the Egyptian people had the balls to do something about it.
I don't understand why you are Obama bashing over Lybia, he keeps stating he dosn't want the States to take the lead in the Lybian campaign.
Democracy dosn't carry a 'Made in the USA' sticker....
Eric Gibbs,
I'm well aware of the coalition, however the initial strategic phase of the operation has most definitely been led by the US military. We sent more cruise missles and air strikes in than any other country, followed by Britain. Despite approval to a point from the Arab League, it's the appearance of an American led coalition to the Muslim community. And now it's going to be the appearance of a "hit 'n run" America as we step back and hand the reins over to possibly France or whomever. I agree with most of what HarveyH42 said. As for Hitler and 6 million unfortunate Jews, that's a time when the world was different. Hitler didn't stop with eliminating Jews, he was trying to take over entire nations; that's far from a group of rebels wanting to oust their dictatorial leadership. It's one thing to supply rebels with a just cause, the means and armament to try and succeed and yet another thing to go in and do the job for them. Heck, the USSR backed ill-regimes over decades!
Primary target is the Libyan oil resources..who the hell not aware of that?

Maybe it's just me but, would anyone agree that the world economy is playing a role in this. Libya has sweet crude very rich and worth protecting. Oil market rise and fall and the world economy moves to that beat. Don't think they will not put troops on the ground if it only escalate in more violence.
Personally, I'm starting to get a little worried about what we are doing over there. We aren't exactly welcome by the Muslims, and we are really starting to crowd their neighborhood.
