Libyan Civil War

[grannywils]

Have read a lot from many of you learned individuals on this awful situation. I have learned a great deal about the tactics of the war and how it could or should be fought. My question is as follows; Why will this war be fought? Is it freedom for the rebels? Will they in fact become free? Is it to rid the world of a terrible dictator (i.e. Kaddafi). If that is done, will he become yet another martyr? Is it because someone, somewhere wants him out of the way so that his country's oil will become more available. Is there some other reason? I just don't understand anymore....

I would think that he is a dictator who is horrible to his people and has been in control for over like 20 years. The rebals hope to free their country and establish a democracy I believe...

Simple response to that video is that there is a massive difference between sending in ground troops and using missiles and air vehicles.

 

I don't really think we should be involved in Libya either though, we are only doing it to make it seem like the USA government actually supports freedom and to help allies.

 

Also he is not spending more time watching basketball, that would pretty much be impossible due to the number of games compared to the time he has.

 

In short, Bush is a idiot and so is Obama.

 

No one should support either of them.

 

We shouldn't be in any wars right now.

 

Also Obama isn't awesome, he is a lot like bush in economic policies and with the wars. If you support Bush why are you not supporting Obama?

If you support Bush why are you not supporting Obama?

 

I mostly agree with what you say but I also wonder if you didn't like Bush why are you still supporting Obama?

I don't support Obama.

 

As I said he is doing a lot of the same things bush was doing.

If Kadaffi listened to the speech, then he he sleeping soundly tonight. Can anyone elucidate decisive ambiguity better than our dear leader?

I wasn't trying to imply that you did, just pointing out that one follows the other. :thumbsup:

i wouldn't get into political discussions but as i saw this, i knew i must spread this.

 

As you can remember, short before the "Arabic spring", this wave of facebook(What means NSA) revolutions started, Ghaddafi was a well seen guest and buddy of many western leaders including Sarkozy, Schroeder, Berlusconi the list goes on and on. His army had a record of non-attacking the own Population(other than the USA for example) since his takeover, and now the media tells us, that his airforce shoots on protesters and there are rape gangs on viagra. I guess they tell us next that Lybian soldiers throw babies out of incubators.

 

A few weeks ago, they talked in the media about, that the rebels maybee have done a few war crimes. What these "rebels", these forgein Al Quaida Mercs and Tribals have done can you see here:

Warning: Sick, sick, sick, sick pictures in the videos.

So, and to help these psychos should be an humanitarian mission? At the beginning of the "rebellion", they run into an turkish owned factory and killed the black coloured workers. Anyone speaks about that? No, western warlords don't care, they talked about giving weapons to these... names...

 

Don't get me wrong, i don't have a dog in this fight, i'am no Ghaddafi fan or such thing. But i, as a german living in middle europe, have absolutly no interessts in helping a bunch of psycho Al Quaida phony freedome fighters taking over a country on the other side of the Mediterranean.

I guess they would get rid off ghaddafi since he nationalized the oil production and used Gold Dinar as currency. Saddam did nearly the same thing before ... you know what happend. And i hope you could also remember when it happend, when it started.

 

By the way. I guess most of your guys know that the most rebel leaders came from the states, where they studied on universities. Short after the insurgency, there leaders foundet a central bank. Which kind of rebels found a central bank?

The first Americans shoot Hamilton for doing such a thing, and now Obama supports something that is not just total anti-freedom, but also anti-american?
