UN's voting to bomb libya. US France and UK already voted yes, China and Russia haven't voted yet, but unless they veto (probably wont) it'll happen.
lets get rid of the entire middle east while were at it

pft. Big oil is just using the crisis in the middle east as an excuse to raise prices.
the u.n. are rats and cockroaches influenced by drinking water poisoned by al queda. gaddafi is a tiger-blooded firefisted warlock and chuck lorre and cbs are nothing without him.
Just to clarify, the vote was TECHNICLY to establish a "no fly zone" over libya and allow any actions to protect the citizens from Gaddafi, but really that means a "can bomb zone" and "killing the dictators troops", respectively, and france REALLY REALLY wants to bomb them, so while the vote isn't literally to bomb them it effectively is.

smart-ass comment about some posts i don't like
And when the warrior saw the pain and suffering around him, he glanced to the heavens where he saw a shimmering beast, full and regal soaring. It hummed and screamed out in revelation, speaking truth; the warrior fell to his knees, dropped his sword, and wept at the idiocy of war.

Yeah, I suppose so
Quote from: Thor;1812132france REALLY REALLY wants to bomb them
Some admiral with a ton of medals just casually discussed how easy it was to ruin Libyan air defense. He has a lot of medals so he has to be right.

Bombing the kids? Nice move, US/FR/UK.
War is stupid and everyone should just get along.

oh wow you're taking this as credible information.
Quote from: clammo;1812387so you are pro-qaddafi murdering his own people?
they could just go straight to qaddafi and kill him on tv. there isnt much of a defense stopping anyone. I dont get why they need to bomb the shit out of everything first and take over
I bet you it wont stop at this

AIDS is stupid and everyone should just stop having sex.
Suffocating is stupid, everybody should just breathe.
meh, united states has done shit like that before, just hire an external bounty hunter, blame it on the libyan people, then start our own government there and pump out the oil.
hey i never said it would be a good idea

5'D :fifen:
Great, just what we need. The US has only been in Iraq and Afghanistan for what, 10 years or so? Now it looks like another 10 for us in Libya.
Quote from: MiraclefruitClock;1812082lets get rid of the entire middle east while were at it
Apparently that's the Obama Administration's big plan.
Yeah but what's different here is that the UN is the one who wanted to do it and the US kinda had to go along with it instead of vice versa.
But man France really wants to bomb the shit out of Libya.
But if the UN decides to bomb Libya the US will get dragged into war anyways. All the other countries look to us too send a lending hand when it comes to war, and if we don't help we'll risk losing our alliance. Living proof that you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. Whatever happened to our neutrality? We played both sides in WWII until the Germans brought us into war (Which was our fault really).
America sold weapons to both the British and the Germans during WWII and the Germans didn't like this because we were supporting their enemy. The Gremans pretty much said "Hey, stop sending weapons to the British or we'll attack American ships."
Of course we didn't listen. America continued to send weapons to the British via American cruse ships with concealed weapon crates in them. The Germans knew this so they actually sank our ship and killed a lot of unknowing, innocent people. This shattered out neutrality and we had too go to war.
Quote from: CadillacClock;1813241World history: Americans became arms-dealers during World War II in order to escape the Great Depression. The wealth Americans gained during their neutrality vastly aided them in the war and post-war.

Did anything ever happen for the people of Bahrain who were also being murdered while in open protest?
its like the entire middle east just realized if Egypt can end a long boring abusive dictatorship, the rest of them can too
its pretty much step 1 to not being a third world country
Quote from: clammo;1817454did you just make that connection right now or did you wait a month after everybody figured it out on day one of the libyan protests on purpose
