Still a big difference between Libya and Iraq Rich.



HUGE differences, Polite. No doubt about that. Top of the list would be Congressional approval, which Bush had. Reports are that President Obama will be making some kind of presentation to Congress by Friday. I'll be curious to see how that turns out.

Right behind that is the tactical approach. The US is just in a support role to NATO, adding our "unique capabilities." Except it is starting to look like military operations that go beyond a few months is one of them. Oh, yeah. Let's not forget the Predator drones, either.

Libya 2011 isn't a retaliatory raid, or a "this is our fishing hole, bitches" message disguised as a rescue mission, or wrapped in layers of deniability. Kuhdaffy never went on tv, and declared that a state of war existed between his country and the US, like a certain pineapple faced drug dealer once did. We've gone and gotten ourselves wrapped up in another war. The methodology might be "unprecedented," to use a word Pres. Obama really liked when he started the job, but when you are openly seeking to topple a government by military force, and kill the leader, that's something Congress is supposed to have a say in. Not just according to War Powers, but according to a Constitution that says Congress holds the power to declare war.

You know, there is another school of thought out there. The one that assumes we are going to be a major military presence in the region, until every damn drop of oil is gone. The one that says Libya would be a damn fine place to put some big new bases. That could be the grand scheme here. Interesting timing perhaps, that the Pentagon Papers have finally been fully released, and we have such a fine opportunity to recall how LBJ lied the US right into the Vietnam War.

Whatever, Ron. Tonkin worked for LBJ, too, but they both got their damn vote, didn't they?

Ever see that episode of the Simpsons where Marge asks Homer where he is going, and he says, "I'm not going to lie to you, Marge" and walks out? That's the answer we've had here, so far.

And it is legal. I believe the current lot of imbeciles started with a prayer and reading select portions of the constitution.

The paraphrase here is something like: the best way to defeat a bad law is to follow it exactly.



And it was Ulysses S Grant that said that, not Lincoln.

So the short answer is you don't know, so you choose to point out spelling errors...typical dick.



And what is it that dicks do to assholes, Thom?

OMG...is this your subtle way of letting us all know that you and the self described "rightwing asshole" are an item??? who knew?

Try looking around a bit. I've spoken to Libya on a number of occasions recently. You are worth repeating myself over because...?


Perhaps because you were asked to clarify your position on this thread in response to remarks made on this thread.

You mean like I what I said on the first page of this thread?

quote:

And now we have Libya, where US involvement is rolling along strictly on President Obama's authority. Despite the ballet of passing command in a matter of "days, not weeks," the buck still stops on his desk. There is also the nature of our tactics. We are apparently trying to assassinate a foreign leader, by remote control. As Bugs Bunny would say of such an act, "of course you know, THIS means war!," and Bugs would be right. There isn't any deniability here.

I think we should count our blessings that we have missed so far, and get the hell out of there. We still have time to return this mess, before we own it, too.



Does that make it sound like I think we have pressing national interests in Libya, Thom?

Post mortem pathological examinations of other victims aboard the plane indicated no in-flight fire or other indications of shrapnells from any explosion. No evidence unequivocally indicated any passengers or crew members had been killed or injured from any explosive blast.So what killed them ?

The majority of the people aboard Pan Am 103 died as a result of severe multiple injuries at different stages. In plain english this means they were literally crushed, hit, ripped apart and cut to death. People were killed as the aircraft disintegrated, as it hit ground, and some had been thrown from the aircraft fuselage during integration and at impact.
Most bodies fell in clusters. About 60 victims fell near Lockerbies famous golf course at the towns east end. About 50 bodies landed together with the fuselage in Ellen Ramsdens garden.

Some bodies were found in trees, some inside fragments of the plane, others lying spread-eagled in the mud. Death had reached them quick but violent. Some of the people aboard the aircraft have been conscious about their final fate all the way down.For some of them the fall took almost 2 minutes - the lack of oxygene in the uppe spheres might have let people meet death unconsciously, some might have regained consciousness when falling further down into oxygene-rich atmosphere. 2 bodies could not be identified. 658 bags of human remains are still to be identified.
Only one woman survived the accident. But not for long. Scottish rescue workers found a woman on the ground with a pulse.
But the pulse was gone 10 minutes later. The woman was never conscious, never lived to tell about her experience during those horrible minutes before the crash.

Besides, haven't you guys heard? We aren't engaged in hostilities in Libya...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/congressmen-criticize-obamas-stand-on-libya/2011/06/16/AGuvhdXH_story.html

Oh well. At least we are finally seeing how President Obama can get Congress to behave in a bipartisan way.
