Is Obama following the footsteps? is this his war? - 1 views

  •  
    Theres a video on this article, it really opens your eyes to all of the fights America has been in, while making them sound like its our job to protect the world when we dont even have threats against uss. "It's become an unspoken addendum to the job description: become President of the United States. Declare war - somewhere, somehow. " They give you so many Presidents who have tried to delcare war...it's sad! "There are at least two glaring similarities to point out, when it comes to the use of force by US presidents: none were in response to a military attack, or even threat of an attack on US soil and none have been formally declared wars." Is this why Obama was so quick to jump on the war Bandwagon? hes a demorcrate...he was sapose to be agaist the war..first thing he wanted was to get the soliders out of Iraq, that was two years ago now, soliders are still there and now were goiing to send more to Lybia...Perfect..

Israel bombing, Libyan intervention: Signs of WWIII? - 0 views

    Okay, so what i like about this site is that it isnt that long, its alot of oppoions, and its pretty easy to read and understand. Alot of websites have been having huge words i really dont get. This one also ask alot of question both sided. It gives you differnent feelins of whats really happening over there. It also has some strong quotes. Such as... an organization dedicated to peace argued "the US should remain involved in democracy promotion and human rights, but not in violent conflict. " and in some ways i really agree with that. We should not have to be the first ones to start a war or be the first to bomb. Let another country deal with it first, we are still in a war with iraq. No need to start two of them. There are also some really good taggs on this sitee.

Libya uprising - Thursday 10 March | World news | guardian.co.uk - 1 views

  • "the EU and its member states will not work or co-operate with Gaddafi and that he has to step aside to allow for a true democratic transformation of the country
  • "One bomb landed on a civilian house in Ras Lanuf," rebel fighter Izeddine Sheikhy told Reuters. He said the bombardment seemed to have come from the direction of the sea. This could not be confirmed.
  • "That is one military option but there are other military options. "In Iraq that was not the way that we carried out the no-fly zone - there are alternatives. Rather than taking out air defences, you can say that 'if your air defence radar locks on to any of our aircraft, we regard that as a hostile act and we would take subsequent action'. "We would want to look at all of these

    In a desperate attempt to try and halt Libya 's advancing military and reverse the realities on the ground, where armed rebels are being crushed by pro - government forces , the UN Security Council on Thursday, in a 10- 0 vote ( with abstentions from Russia, China, India , Germany and Brazil ) , paved the way for military action against Libya , beyond the imposition of a no - fly zone .The resolution authorises UN member states ( read Western war hawks,currently teetering on the brink of financial ruin) to take "all necessary measures ... to protect civilians and civilian populated areas … while excluding a foreign occupation force of any form on any part of Libyan territory. " Using military force, from the air and the sea , with no ground troops to take and hold territory, will lead to large -scale loss of life and destruction of property. But the destruction of a country's physical infrastructure, especially in places like Libya which have huge oil reserves that can pay any bills, is the key objective of the Western war enterprise, as it guarantees them reconstruction jobs. That is why theynever intervene in poor countries. The imperialist Western war hawks salivating to plunder Libyan oil are framing their arguments in terms of what Catholic theology calls Just War Doctrine , arguing deceitfully that it is a moral imperative on the "international community" (read themselves) to institute a democracy and secure human rights by destroying Libya like they did Iraq. But can plunder , murder and general destruction by anybody serve a higher good ? The Libyan rebels lost it when they abandoned the script of non -violence that had worked so well in Tunisia and Egypt . Their decision to take up arms at the initial stage of the "popular " uprising , clothed in thousands of newly printed opposition flags that betray a manufactured spontaneity, can only mean one thing : that these externally anchored formations did critical numbers of dissatisfied Libyan
