Just heard someone put a well placed rocket where it ought to go but as usual, missed, you think they would have learned something in Iraq, but no. The dear leader is never where you expect him to be, after all he might be mad but he isn't stupid.. It seems you can threaten the US all you like but you can't threaten Italy, are the Romans making a come back? |

He had been there . He got lucky again. He was making a socal call at the time of the strike. Disgusting that he allowed his grandchildren to stay at a place ,operating as a command and control bunker ,that he knew would probably be hit. He used his gradchildren as human shields . That's the type of sub-human we are dealing with. |

Libya seems to have dropped off everyone's radar screen after the spectacular in Pakistan last week but far more important than Obama stroking his ego is the loss of life in Libya.
It has been reported that that there have been a number of sinkings of refugee boats and one has to ask, what the hell are the various powers surrounding Libya doing about it? SQUATT? Aid agencies: Refugee boat carrying hundreds sank off Libyan coast - The Washington Post |

What exactly can they do about a refugee boat sinking ? This happened also when the communist North Vietnamese took over South Vietnam . In that case they fled the country after it was over-run having lived their lives in their homes throughout decades of war. Are you suggesting that Daffy is sinking refugee boats ? I've seen no evidence of that . The article you link to suggests it was an over-crowded boat. The answer to the rest of your question is that both Egypt and Tunisia have refugee camps on their respective borders with Libya. |

Tom you asked if I was suggesting Dodo was sinking boats, the reports are he is doing the next best thing, forcing refugees on to boats after stealing their money. Only in the arab world (Islamic) do we find behaviour like this. Must be a reason for it. It is nothing short of Nazism or perhaps they are financing the flight of the Dodo since he hasn't been seen since the bombing. A true coward

It's amazing how a current topic can quickly fade from the public interest. Daffy the Dodo defies us all and is still in Tripoli making trouble despite the best efforts of the allsoround nations typified by NATO to bomb him out. All I can say is; if a real war starts, God help us all

Not much happening here. The President has gone so far as to ignore even the basic provisions of the 'War Powers Act';even though he cited the Act as the legal basis of his ability to conduct military activities . He was supposed to obtain Congressional authorization 60 days after he took America into war... oops I mean “time-limited, scope-limited kinetic military action.” He says that he doesn't need their approval because of the limited scope of US participation ,and that it is a NATO led operation. I don't see his case . The Act doesn't mention either scope of operation or only wars that the US leads . The US is probably lending very critical and valuable logistic and intel to the effort. He did "send a letter " to Congress asking for a declaration of approval . That has not come .The 60 days has expired . He is now in violation of the law. The left which went nuts protesting the Iraq war has barely been heard from. The War Powers Act itself is worthy of it's own posting . There are justifiable reasons for both sides of the aisle to believe the Act was an over-reaction to the Vietnam war and is unconstitutional .From my perspective it allows Congress to veto executive action by inaction rather than by resolution . Others say the act is unconstitutional because it allows for executive action up to 60 days without Congressional approval. President-elect Obama met with a bi-partisan commission that proposed to Congress "the War Powers Consultation Act of 2009" which would update the 1973 act and eliminate many of the objections . Evidently the President found the act convenient once in office because he has not done a thing to support the revisions. Suffice it to say that for now it is the law of the land ,and the President is in violation of the law. |

Don't worry Tom the US is contributing its unique abilities which apparently don't need a declaration of war and an act of congress. No doubt a predator or two is waiting for the moment to end the dodo, that will make two down if and when it happens. Interesting that such devices originate in the home of the brave
