    The administration needs time to poll this situation. Check with Soros (sp) maybe? or at least that whacky minister Rev Wright?

    I love the critiques of the Obama administration by the McZombies.

    Obama, just like any of our elected officials, will do EXACTLY what disaster capitalism wants him to do. He knows that if he interferes with Gaddafi the energy monopolies will spend billions against him in the next election.

    US government isn't doing anything because they have the slightest of hopes that Gaddafi remains in power. The only reason we are even talking about Gaddafi being removed is because people stood up in the country to fight for their rights. If ordinary worekrs/families didn't stand up for their rights then Obama would be shaking Gaddafi's hand next month at an economic meeting.

    US has to get involved, this is about stopping thousands of deaths from bombs being dropped by fighter jets. It's as simple as that. Lybians can create their own government after they stop being slaughtered.

    I'm sure it's already been stated in this thread but if not for the abundance of oil in Libya the U.S would surely turn a blind eye. Funny thing how natural resources dictate the level of involvement the U.S takes regarding foreign policy.

    James Clapper pretty much says Gaddafi will win easily. At least he's honest. http://www.newser.com/story/113872/j...at-rebels.html

    Sometimes the correct response is not to do something for the sake of doing something - short of full on invasion, there's possibly little effective to be done here. It's not like Afghanistan, where you already had a fully formed, equipped and battle-hardened rebel military, that just need a few airstrikes to help things along. Here the rebellion is untrained guys with rifles.

    Sanctions do nothing, cos Gaddhafi is well used to them and has billions in cash stored up. A no-fly zone does little, because it's the tanks and artillery doing the damage, his airforce is minimal - you'd also end up with Gaddhafi trying to provoke NATO planes into attacking facilities.

    Obama said "Across the board, we are tightening the noose on Gaddafi." A black man saying that is pure comedy.

    Gadaffi must be glad the big quake just hit Japan......The quake is overshadowing the slaughter that Gadaffi's forces is up to now in the eyes of the media.

    What ever we do people will hate us. We can sit back and do nothing and they will say we should have stepped in. If we do go over there they will say that we should have never stuck our nose in there business.

    Not so funny...simply reality.
    If there are no resources at stake....
    let the Islamic animals torture and kill
    one another. Plain and
    simple.

    Actually, European and Asian
    countries have a larger vested
    interest than the States.

    More dictators are going to do what Gaddafi is doing now. Slaughter the opposition. The Saudi Royal Family isn't going to go down easily. They've been in power for over 300 years and they don't intend to get pushed aside by some numbskulls.

    The Rebels are calling the west cowards for not helping. Handle your own shit.... Sbr John should just send the prop bet points now this is just about over. Rebels praying to Allah to save them good luck with that some of the acts of torture Gaddafi is going to do to them will be almost on an medieval level.

    The rebels are the cowards. They didn't want help when they were winning but when they started losing they were crying like bitches asking for help.

    What is "disaster" capitalism?.

    "Don't tell me and wise Black people or White people that you're interested in Black suffering. Where were you in Rwanda? Where are you in the Congo? Why did you go to Darfur? Because oil is there! No, you don't want to save the Libyan people, that's your noble motive to hide your wicked agenda." --Minister Farrakhan
