Most people don't know why we're even shooting missles at Libya.
First, it was something vague about helping the rebels, then a couple days later it was to get Gadafy out of power, then last night on the news they used the terms "human rights" "prevent a slaughter" etc. Seems it's "not" ok if the rebels get slaughtered but it "is" ok if Gadafy's guys get slaughtered? Then they said that many of the rebels sympathize with al quada and the muslim brotherhood so we should save them?
What will they say next? Will they start using the terms, "ethnic cleansing" and "peace keepers?" In hopes that the American People will "feel sorry" for Libyans? Good luck with that one! Remember the Libyans *dancing in the streets after 9-11?* Fuck 'em! We should be airdropping in AK-47's, machetes, and poison gas for them to use on eachother.
This is one of those things that the U.S. needs to give "a good leaving alone."
Let's see some "hope and change" for once; "I'm not getting the U.S. involved in Libya's internal affairs."
Obama won't even get involved in most of *our* internal affairs!
I wonder if Joe Biden has said; "Ghadafy is not a dictator! And he's a personal friend!"
And what has Hillary Clinton said? She seems to be unusually quiet after all her conflicting comments on Egypt last month!
I watched Bill O'Reilly last night and normally I agree with him about 75% of the time but he sounded like a war hawk during Vietnam!
And he said that many on the left are against getting involved in Libya. Well, many of us Independants can be counted with the left as well on that.
They said that we've spent $800 million so far just on Tomahawk missiles at $600,000 per copy.
Plus all the other costs that a Carrier Battle Group generates daily. One sortie can cost $25k and up!
But, imagine that you applied for Social Security Disability and got turned down. Twelve or fourteen hundred a month would keep a roof over your head and food on the table but Social Security wants to, "keep costs down."
Then you turn on the news to see that *your government* has given $2 Billion of the Taxpayer's money that we had to borrow from China to Haiti!
On all the radio talk shows I listen to (Howie Carr, Dr. Michael Savage, Jerry Doyle and a few others) there is one recurring theme, "Washington needs to start taking care of *our* problems in the U.S. and let foreign countries take care of their own!"
It costs us about $2-$3 billion a year just to keep Troops in S. Korea. This has been going on for about *60* years!
How many people do you know that want the U.S. to be "the world's leader?" I don't know any. None. Not one.
I was at the American Legion post yesterday and the recurring theme there was "Don't get US involved in that bullshit!"
We only seem to hear that kind of tripe from Washington.
When is Washington going to start *listening* to The People instead of big corporations and lobbyists?
It's like we've lost control over *our government*.
Now, I'm going to e-mail and call my congressman's office and tell him not to fund anymore of this Libya nonsense.
