Civilized people don't respond in kind to acts of unthinkable brutality and horror. To do so would make us just as evil as the evil we are fighting. I have no problem putting down a killer, just show some class and do it objectively and fast.Only one thing missing in those videos. All of the thousands of people killed by bombings by Ghadaffi himself. Until you show videos of those to balance out the report, you'll be seen as quite frankly, ridiculous.
An example from real life. In 2004 we were hit head-on by a young man who passed out due to illegal drug use and my injuries forever altered my life. Had this happened when I was younger, I would have likely wanted this youngster to rot in jail for decades or his head on a platter. By 2004, I had realized that destroying his young life would not help my situation in any meaningful way and would not help society either. So I insisted he be given a chance to turn his life around in a drug court program (Guilty plea for felony, immediate parole for sentence with understanding that he would serve 100% the prison time if he did not turn his life around). He recovered from his addiction, is now a productive citizen and is not a threat to no one instead of an ex-con who cost society about $250,000 to imprison.
The US definition of terrorism has been widely criticized by other first-world countries because it opens the door for a bad prez (like Nixon or Dick Cheney) to create a totalitarian state
It could be both. That MG improved education, quality of life and infrastructure in Libya is true. That GM also committed atrocities is true. The two are not mutually exclusive.
My guess is GM was taken down because the bigger powers could no longer control him. He had been doing the things cited as reason to help the people overthrow his government for decades so I'm not buying this as the true reason.
View attachment 67117570 The rebels who abused MG were angry young men bent on revenge. Had they been older/seasoned men, I believe MG's end would have been more humane and more in accordance with international law.
This region of the world.........
What is it? Why is it so hard for any nation there to evolve beyond the stone age and act like a civilized species?
These are the people Team BO decided to support. I am pretty certain I will never understand liberalism. You cry over water boarding terrorists but support scumbags that sodomize a human being and then shoot him in the head? It gets better, the rebels are now claiming sharia law will be the foundation of Libya's political and judicial system. Just wondering, how well are women treated under sharia law? Saying liberals have selective moralsm is one of the greatest understatements of all time.
Gaddafi sodomized: Video shows abuse frame by frame
So how does this work out for the US? Are we and the world better off if Libya goes hardcore islamofacist? If Bush was a cowboy, what is BO? At least cowboys aim and then fire....BO fires and never even tries to aim?
OP promised this was graphic. OP lied.

This is what an Arab Spring looks like.Sodomy with a knife-The ideal start to a peaceful democracy.
McCain is not conservative. He is a statist. He is a republican in name only....
I must have missed where this war was a liberal versus conservative thing. Heck, John McCain said the only thing he would have done differently was put the whole US Air force on it.
Article 1. Islam/Sharia is the principle source of the law.
How is that not graphic? The pictures show a man being sodomized with a knife.
Seriously, Jerry?
Or as we call them, Democrats! :3oops:honestly I didn't. but I have seen tons of jokes about Mormons to attack MR. I am an agnostic but I tire of bashing a guy over his religion. I cannot stand Obama but i couldn't care less if he's . . . a follower of the horned beast Ba'al
. . .and help to install a murderous, anti-democratic sponsor of terror against the US. Israel, and other countries around the world...?Bottom line, by following the policy he did, Obama was able to help the Libyan's free themselves of a murderous, anti-democratic sponsor of terror against the U.S. other countries around the world. It cost us about 1/1000th what we paid to get rid of Saddam, not a single U.S. trooper was killed, and we are not on the hook for a protracted bout of nation building.
That's what I call kickin' it liberal style.

I don't have high hopes.
Aren't they just like the Tea Party? Wait, He was talking about the Occupiers.I would have been happy to have missed that video. It's gruesome. These Libyian freedom fighters are no better than he was. Absolutely horrendous footage. This is not what our government should be supporting. President Obama should speak out against this kind of torture and murder. Just awful.

So, at worst they can't be worse than the Saudis, whom we shower with billions of dollars in cash every year.
You know, liberals love sodomy, so I don't see why any would have a problem with it.These are the people Team BO decided to support. I am pretty certain I will never understand liberalism.
