Where are the liberals? Where are the protests? Where is the anti-Obama press? There is less reason to be in Libya than there was Iraq. At least with Iraq, Saddam was defying UN resolutions and inspections. At least with Iraq, even though the intelligence turned out wrong, we THOUGHT there were WMDs there. Here, we have an asshole being an asshole to his own people. Where is the US national security risk? Where are all the people who demonized Bush?
The goal in Iraq when we got there was to depose Saddam and set up a new government. Is that the goal with Libya? Why? Should Quadafi be killed? Sure. But why now?
We're not in the same place as we were in 2003. Obama was against the Iraq war. How is this acceptable when Iraq wasn't?
What's the end game? Even without a ground war, even our cheapest missiles cost over $1 milion. How much will it cost to replace the F15 that crashed today? How many millions has this war already cost us, with no benefit?
What is the benefit? If this is the UN doing this, why aren't China or Russia firing their missiles? Where are they?
I'm all for bombing the shit out of any terrorist dictator, but why now? So many other countries treated us like shit during Iraq. Let THEM spend their money on Libya.
