Turkey doesn't oppose the mission, they oppose the killings. Erdogan was bitching about the intervention initially but that isn't the issue anymore.
I'll tell you what the real issue is......Where in hell do we get the right to intervene?
The Sheeple better remember that if we directly sack Quad High Fi, [/B]
Ummm.....what is the issue? Protecting the innocent or killing the innocent?
*They* oppose the killing but *they* continue to do the killing?
I'll tell you what the real issue is......Where in hell do we get the right to intervene?
Do what you want so long as exercising your rights and freedoms doesn't infringe on someone else's rights and freedoms. Ok, thats cool, but remember that also applies to individuals and nations. If we believe in individual freedom, then unless we're hypocritical, other nations have the right to decide what form of government they want. Either that or we decide we're going to be an empire and flat impose our will on people who don't want our rule.
. We are merely "aiding" that process of forceful transition.
My main beef with this is that Obama lied to us. NATO lied to us. We're sitting here hearing them say that this we only seek to neutralize Qaddafi's military ability. Now, we're off apparently trying to assassinate him and his son and grandchildren. I don't like the guy, but this is not right, and in violation of international law.
How was any of this predicament planned in your mind? I'll say it once and i'll say it again. The area of target was a C3I hub for Gadaffi's soldiers. That was why it was a target, full stop.
Unless Obama is a psychic no lying was done.
So the misseles were inaccurate? Not just one missel, but three hit the palatial manision? How far was the hub from the mansion?
Link to an areal photo?

There is no reason to believe NATO knew Gadaffi was there at the time of the bombing and there is no reason to believe he was the target of the attack.
lol, the hypocrisy here is unreal.
The US has a long history of supporting dictators when it suits them. One of WAS ****ing gadaffi, Mubarak, Pinochet...
Need I go on.
When 3 children are killed by an air strike in a residential neigborhood, it may be an occasion to review NATO targeting practices.
"The arrest and assassination of Ngô Đình Diệm, then president of South Vietnam, marked the culmination of a successful CIA-backed coup d’état led by General Dương Văn Minh in November 1963. On the morning of November 2, 1963, Diệm and his adviser, younger brother Ngô Đình Nhu, were arrested after the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) had been successful in a bloody overnight siege on Gia Long Palace in Saigon. The coup was the culmination of nine years of autocratic and nepotistic family rule in South Vietnam. "
Arrest and assassination of Ngo Dinh Diem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What happened to the good old days, when the US CIA could pull off a regime change, and the news media would not figure it out for years and years?

So, we did the same thing with Saddam. Once he turned on us and on his own people, he went down.
NATO has defended its targeting for missles, rather than appologizing for killing civilians, and starting a review of targeting practicies and procedures.
Double Standards can backfire, like when Kennedy supposedly tried to assasinate Castro, with the Mafia, but he and his brother got hit themselves within a few years.
US CIA has never applogized for Guatemalla, or Viet Nam "suicides"
From the same place we get all of our other rights. We have the most powerful military in the world.
Bull****, the U.S. government turned a blind eye to everything Saddam did up until he invaded Kuwait. Had Saddam not done that, the U.S. would have let him continue to kill his own people. Hell, even the Taliban in Afghanistan were given a free pass by the U.S. government until they harbored Al-Qaeda after 9/11. The hypocrisy STANDS and is well noted.
Aww, did some wibble wiberal get his little butt huwt by dat mean ol conswerative? Or worse, get huwt by won dat talk bad bout your messiah?
I couldn't kill kids in cold blood and I couldn't order someone else to do it either.
Have a nice day
Well la dee daa for you.. :roll:You want a medal or something?:roll:
Either they screwed up and bombed a building they didn't mean to bomb, or they deliberately bombed the home of Gadaffi's youngest son, knowing he lived there with his family. NATO is denying the whole thing, and since Gadaffi's regime isn't really big on the truth, there's no way to know what really happened.
A Nato air strike in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, has killed the son of the Libyan leader, Colonel Gaddafi, a government spokesman has said.
I am beginning to have nothing but sympathy for Gaddafi.
Libya under his reign, despite suffering casulties is in a much better position than 60+% of Africa and he is probably a merciful leader compared to the dictators US funds and supports.
I'll believe this is a freedom mission when the US and the West with their "humanitarian efforts" turn the guns on Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria and countless others including allies who is killing their own people but ofc, that won't happen for a long time.
This is even more stupid than Iraq.
Why do people who so desperately try and paint NATO as hypocrites forget reality? Do you think from a military point of view it is possible to intervene in those countries the way we have in Libya? The geopolitical nature of Iran and Syria is substantially different to that of Libya.
We leave you people to slaughter each other and it's our fault, we lend a helping hand and we want oil. It's borderline pathetic.
You'd have a point if your people weren't funding these people and have been for decades.
There is one reason we are in Libya. It begins with O and ends in L and the middle letter is I.
Humantarian reasons. The ****ing cheek of the West especially UK. Where was British integrity when we were funding Libya eh? Where was it when we gave them weapons and planes and bombs and invited them over to UK for some bloody tea and scones
I have nothing but sympathy for Gadaffi and is the lesser of two evils.
Then i call into question your respect for the dignity of human beings.
The UK prioritized it's national interests, sorry, is that a crime?
