Good to see charlie hall is talking with some 20/20 even though his own leftist buddies were also saying there were weapons. It is sad to see how poor charlie looses his memory after 10 years. Refuah Sh’laima Charles.

Both are dumb wars. We practically handed over Iraq to the Iranians, and in Libya we very well might be handing it over to Al Qaida.

Two wrongs do not make a right.

However, the war in Iraq has far worse consequences and will have in the future, then the war in Libya, which is not nearly as important as Iraq in numerous ways.

This entire debacle is a selling out of America to the Saudis because the west knows free enterprise is over with.

These “rebels” are not students or idealists who crave democracy. They are members of known “terrorist” organizations. But as we all know such labeling can change with each political objective.

If you notice, Eygpt, Libya, Jordan, and now Syria, all have something in common: Leadership that is not religious.

Interesting how all of a sudden Kadaffi is such a worse man that Achmadinijad?

Interesting on how Obama wants to get rid of Kadaffi because he is a murderer when we have murderers in America and he opposes the use of the death penalty.

Interesting how Obama is concerned about arabs who are mean to arabs, but not arabs who are heinously mean to Jews and Israel. On Libya he takes military action for the Libyans??

I fear the Saudis are pulling strings to get the entire arab world to be under religious rule, as Obama respects due to his father issues. France, they are meaningless in trying to find some reason or justification as to any legitimate reason we are there.

Again, I fear we are supporting a religious revolution in the arab world with deals being struck for financial support from the Saudis.

A dumb war is rushing into battle for no cause. The weapons of mass destruction did not exsist. The war becomes even dymber when the US gets stuck in an Iraqi quagmire. It is even dumber when the new government is run by Iraqi Shiites allied to Iran.

Obama therefore waited. He did not act in haste. He waited to see if the rebels could do it themselves just like in Egypt and Tunisia. He intervened only when there was a clear and present danger to the civilians of Bengahzi. That is a smart war.

Just in case you havent noticed the rebels are on the offensive again. Way to go President Obama!

The difference of course is that Saddam Hussein did NOT have weapons of mass destruction, had NOT been linked to any specific terrorist activity, and was hated by Al Qaeda — and furthermore that the Bush administration lied about all of the above.

all is fair in politics, then reality hits when you have to call the shots. in the next election all contenders for Mr. obama’s current office will also second guess his decisions. it’s just the way the game is played. Hopefully , eventually we will get a player who does not change his tune once elected.
