False pretense for war in Libya?
   
Here's an editorial from the Boston Globe by Alan J. Kuperman that is a must-read:

But Khadafy’s acts were a far cry from Rwanda, Darfur, Congo, Bosnia, and other killing fields. Libya’s air force, prior to imposition of a UN-authorized no-fly zone, targeted rebel positions, not civilian concentrations. Despite ubiquitous cellphones equipped with cameras and video, there is no graphic evidence of deliberate massacre. Images abound of victims killed or wounded in crossfire — each one a tragedy — but that is urban warfare, not genocide.

Nor did Khadafy ever threaten civilian massacre in Benghazi, as Obama alleged. The “no mercy’’ warning, of March 17, targeted rebels only, as reported by The New York Times, which noted that Libya’s leader promised amnesty for those “who throw their weapons away.’’ Khadafy even offered the rebels an escape route and open border to Egypt, to avoid a fight “to the bitter end.’’

Boston Globe

We have been suckered in a most cynical way.

Good Lord, I actually agree with the Globule.  I need a long hot shower now.

Let['s not be rash, Tanker. Every now and then they say something remarkable. Toddlers do the same but it doesn't mean they really know what's going on around them.

A hot blonde or brunette or redhead would be the icing on the cake there (with the Jacuzzi and the Slammer).

Look at all the apologists for Libya.

Would any of them accept one of their own retorts with regards to Iraq?
