    I'm no troll. You go check the huge variety of sources we use and then come back and insult us about something else.

    Are we at War in Afphanistan and Iraq? Libya did less to us in recent decades than either of those two. I consider them much the same... only two are further along than the other.

    Did someone say bringing this back on subject, last time I looked the caption said Libya
    Obama forgetting the lessons of Iraq - CNN.com Noting the cost of missiles used so far could it be said that Libya is justified as part of BO's economic stimulation package

    Hello again, smoothy:

    In fact, destroying military equipment, ours OR theirs is VERY good for our economy. It puts LOTS of people to work.. You CAN see that, can't you? It isn't the preferred way to stimulate the economy, at least not from my perspective.


    Did ya see Newt's flip flop???
    Before Obama did anything Newt WANTED a no fly zone.. AFTER Obama did something, Newt DIDN'T want a no fly zone... This is the guy who was cheating on his wife at the same time he was criticizing Clinton for cheating on his wife... I guess he thinks we're not paying attention...

    Well he will certainly be keeping the munitions workers employed replacing those cruise missiles and of course the aircraft industry, spares if not whole aircraft. As I said the whole exercise is another stimulus package. If you have a recession, have a war, it is an old economic strategy. Very soon they will find an excuse for arms shipments to the rebels, just to level the playing field and there is going to be a whole army to reequip when this is over with shinny new tanks and APC and a new air defence system and a whole new air force, should be very stimulatory for the US with Libya as a new client state, lots of lovelly oil dollars

    Newt is old news . I don't take his candidacy seriously . His best work has been writing alternate history fiction novels .
