ORIGINAL: Slavehandsome The Democrats got us into Libya. Nato got you into libya Obama got the USA into Libya. Obama twisted a UN resolution "authorizing" the "protection of civilians" into "kinetic action" aggressively seeking regime change in Libya on behalf of islamists. Authorizing something is not mandating it. Obama chose to put the USA on the path of war in Libya and used the UN and NATO for cover. France and the UK didn't have the power to force Obama into the Libyan debacle either. Here's a link to what was approved by the UN: http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2011/sc10200.doc.htm ...Demanding an immediate ceasefire in Libya, including an end to the current attacks against civilians, which it said might constitute “crimes against humanity”, the Security Council this evening imposed a ban on all flights in the country’s airspace — a no-fly zone — and tightened sanctions on the Qadhafi regime and its supporters. Adopting resolution 1973 (2011) by a vote of 10 in favour to none against, with 5 abstentions (Brazil, China, Germany, India, Russian Federation), the Council authorized Member States, acting nationally or through regional organizations or arrangements, to take all necessary measures to protect civilians under threat of attack in the country, including Benghazi, while excluding a foreign occupation force of any form on any part of Libyan territory — requesting them to immediately inform the Secretary-General of such measures... The UN's language does not require Obama to enable Libyan "ex rebels" to impose sharia law and slaughter sub Saharan African day laborers.
