Not unprovoked: Qaddafy struck first

Not illegal: the action was approved by the UN and is not in violation of principles of international law

This action is nothing like the unprovoked illegal action in Iraq of March 2003.

Did he strike us first? Or did he just strike first? Or are we talking about 1985 here?

I don't know that this had to be done now. On the other hand, most people here are old enough to remember when Gaddafi was enemy #1 back in the '80s, the Saddam and Bin Laden combined of his day. In other words, maybe this should have been done a long time ago.

Now...what will he do about Yemen?

By the way, so much for Obama doing nothing while on vacation in Rio, eh firstdown?

Really so the un now has control over who we have a war with. When did we change our Constitution and how did he strike first? Last I checked we struck him first.

This is not the same as the Iraq war. This is much more like the '90's action in Kosovo.

Give it up, dude. Your partisan arguments do not apply here.

Partisan? I'm just applying the lefts standards to them. Whats wrong with that? I guess they are not against nation building any more either.

I notice you use a Bill Clinton war. LOL

Souldn't we be going after the Somalia Pirates that have actual attacked us several times.

You introduced left vs. right. That's what makes it partisan. Others were just talking.

Since I am neither Republican nor Democrat, why would I not use an appropriate example from the Clinton days?

BTW I have no problem with holding the pirates accountable. When they attack Americans, their next residence should be in a US jail.
