The Libyan War

I voted for Obama thinking he wouldn't get us into another war.

You thought wrong, sucker.

Some think the Libyan war will be short and sweet, so it's not really a war.  Others say that congress didn't declare it (they haven't declared war since 1942) so it doesn't count.

I say, if we're bombing, shooting, or killing people in another country, it better be war, otherwise it's just murder.

Libya's version of cash for clunkers.

This "little" war is very dirty.  We're poisoning Libya with birth-defect-causing depleted uranium.  And we've apparently sided with "1,000 or so" rebels in a country of 6 million.

But it's worth it, you say, to get rid of an awful tyrant.

This awful tyrant was on the United States' payroll just before we started bombing (maybe that's why Harry Reed thought it was ok to take that money back).  Like Saddam, Mubarak, and others  he was a tyrant, but he was our tyrant.

Here's 50 bucks.  Go buy yourself a new dress.

We supposedly invaded Libya to stop a "potential" massacre.  That's pre-crime.  Last time I checked, not only are you innocent until proven guilty, you're innocent unless you've committed a crime in the first place.  We're all potential pre-criminals.  That kind of thinking is plain nuts, and dangerous to a free society.

Another preemptive war.  Another expansion of executive war power.  Supposedly to prevent a massacre.  But that does not explain why we have not lifted a finger to prevent 5,000,000 people from being massacred in the Congo.

Not to be cynical, but it might have something to do with oil.
