Well it's safe to say that anything you read is bullshit.
MSNBC made claims that Gadhafi's son was captured by rebel forces and that 95% of the city of Tripoli was under rebel control. Come to find out Gadhafi's son is touring the city meeting and greeting with pro-Gadhafi loyalist. LOL Does anything sound funny about that to you?
Meanwhile several news desk ALL seem to use a diffrent spelling when reffering to Gadhafi. Some places spell it Quaddafi, some Qaddafi and I have even seen a few spell it with a K! Now it goes without saying that if none of these new desks agree on the spelling of the person wanted it's quite clear that none of them really have a clue.
Here is what I think is going down. Muslim nations have gotten wise to Americans supporting and backing their oppositions. While we continue to send money, arms and food to Libya thinking we are backing the rebels the whole entire thing is just a front so that Libya can smuggle large arms and munitions in and out of the country. Along with weapons and food Obama has said from his vacation getaway that he is considering a large aid package in the form of cold hard $CASH$ to the opposition which no doubt would be used against us. Meanwhile NATO is throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Libya hoping to blow up Gahdafi. NATO consist of many of the USA's allies, including the USA. As our resources are being used up in a massive bombing campaign is it so far fetched to think we are being played?
I myself can not lie when it comes to the amount of time I have literally WASTED following all this bullshit going on in Libya, if only because the story often does a complete 180 from day to day. What has happened all of a sudden in Libya to make our President take time out of his lavish vacation to make a statement about some third world nation while the rest of America seems to be burning? What was so important about Michelle Obama going to South Africa to meet Nelson Mandela? How is it that Obama got so rich selling books when for the life of me not a sole that I know of has one? I have a vast deal of Democrat friends, some of them black but none of them have Obama books on their shelves when I stop by their homes.
Is America being infultrated from within? Divided by partisanship and race to the point America the melting pot is no longer pure enough to come together and a form a solid union of any sort? Europe claims to be going broke, America has record deficits and a recent credit downgrade along with all time high unemployment and government hand outs yet were spending major cash trying to assist a rebel movement in the third world North African nation Libya? It'a already known that the rebels in Libya are not to be trusted and once Gadhafi is killed or captured there is no guarantee someone else twice as twisted will take his place.
I can not help but to think we are being sucked in, and the priorities of the current administration are no where near in line with what's good for America, and I can say that it's been that way since day 1 when Obama tried to close gitmo.
Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but something does not add up here. Something is definitely not right. Americans have been buffaloed into bad mortgages and over extended not too long ago! People were lead to believe that a $50K house was worth $150,000 and what is worse banks actually thought they were too! So much in fact that they made millions of loans. The stock market seems to work off of what is happening in the world around us, when things are bad it goes down, when their is good news it goes up. Is it a stretch to think government can manipulate the market in a way that would allow Americans to be fleeced deliberately? I sure looks like it.
Anyone have anything to add?

Hey, why don't you clowns collect from Iraq and Afganistan first before you go loaning out any more money we dont have. You think we are stupid? NATO is involved so they will want the oil split 4 ways, but your ilk will be ignornat enough to foot the WHOLE bill.

I could give a rats ass about their oil! Americans just want the damn money we spent on them back. Americans have been paying for their oil since they started sucking it out of the ground.

That's part of the problem with your vision of government, $1,000,000,000.00 is a lot of money, and not but a month ago your government was at risk of having ZERO dollars.
So until such time as the Govenment sends me a check for peanuts ($1,000,000,000.00) then I suggest you save some face and suck it up.
With regards to George's wars, well unlike Obama's war (Libya) George captured the boogie-man in Iraq, and now it is your buddy Obama's responsibility to collect. If Obama can not collect I think he should forget about 2012.
From what I have seen in Libya over the past week I think $1,000,000,000.00 has been absolutely WASTED. Unlike George your boy Obama has not gotten congressional approval for his little North African war, and as such he should be impeached and required to pay America back the $1,000,000,000.00 he is spending without congressional approval. Like you said, "It's peanuts" so I am sure Obama has it in his sock drawer.

Bush captured the "boogie-man" in Iraq? I thought the Iraq war was supposed to be about 911... Saddam was an asshole war criminal sure, but what the hell did Saddam have to do with 911???
Please enlighten me with links to credible journalism outlets which meet the standard required to hold a chair in the first 2 rows of the White House press core. I guess even Fox applies to this, but it has to be from their news desk - not any of their partisan editorial hacks. And nothing that has been later debunked by another media outlet that occupies a chair in the first 2 rows of the White house press core.
If it is true, you should have no trouble meeting this test^^^
The uprising in Libya is a grassroots effort by the citizens whom have been repressed by an evil dictator for decades. The Libyan people want a representitave government and freedom, not unlike how we had to fight for our independnce from England 235 years ago. The people look different, but their motives are as pure and patriotic as ours were 235 years ago. This is why we are morally obligated to help them.
Democracy never takes root if it's forced on the people. If it's a good idea, the people will adopt the idea themselves. This is what the Libyan people are trying to do, and when you see the news coverage of the people in the streets in jubilation already holding signs that say "Thank you America" they are sincere, and it makes me proud to be an American.
You get trillions in aid already. You see it in the roads and bridges on which you travel, in the military, fire department, police whom protect you, In the school system that educates you, in the FDA and CDC which keep you healthy.

Get a grip PowerStroker! All them things are paid for in taxes and fees.
Taxes on gas
Registration and Licence fee's
Taxes on Lotto, Alcohol and Tobacco
Property taxes
Sales taxes
State and Federal income taxes
Taxes on fast food
Taxes on vehicle sales
So please tell us all what that tax money above gets spent on? Would it be spent on things like roads and bridges on which you travel, in the military, fire department, police whom protect you, In the school system that educates you, in the FDA and CDC which keep you healthy?
So how can you sit here and tell us that all of them services are a form of "Aid"? When really they are all PAID FOR IN CASH BY WORKING AMERICANS thru taxes charged on virtually anything you need to survive?
You have gotten you head so screwed up by the entitlements you can't even see that you are really paying 50% of your income in taxes/fees by the time you add them all up.
Get ahold of yourself PowerStroker! The government is robbing us blind and people like you are willing to pay even more because you are just too damn lazy to work or too afraid to hold your own console (aka sucking off the union teat). You do realize that a certain amount of your pay each week goes to union dues dont you?
These things you mention above ARE NOT AID! They are projects that have been paid for by working people that are forced to pay tax on just about everything under the sun.
You have said some really ignorant things in your day PowerStroker, but the one above is about the most ignorant I have EVER heard ANYONE say! Yourself included! Please pull your head out of your ass PowerStroker.

But your boy Obama will still prolly give em' billions!
Care to revise your statements now Rex??? Perhaps an apology and congratulations to President Obama on making stellar foreign policy decisions would be in order.
I been getting these alerts all day about Gadhafi (or however you want to spell it) being captured, then killed.
Congratulations are in order for the Libyan people, brought in part by Americans (On Obamas watch), NATO, and the alliance. Now that Gadhafi is gone I hope things turn around in Libya, although I think the turmoil there is far from over. At lest now there is some stability in the fact that Gadhafi's government has been toppled. The big question now is will they all get along?

Ah-hem...
Do you consider Libya's new government adhering to Sharia law a change for the "Better" or a change for the "Worst"?
I know the interum rebel leader suggested their new system be based on Sharia, but when it's all said and done, and the people decide what they want, they will end up with a religious government that is much less harsh than Sharia, and very pro-American. So it's an improvement to be sure.

Sorry... I just had to Quote that.
You know, just incase this whole thing goes to shit I can say "I told you so".

I don't recall the old testament ever calling non-believers infidels and insisting that they be exterminated. Yeah they would burn in hell, but that was only after they died.
Our religion has kept up with the times, is tolerant yet mindful. It seeks to accept all deity as at least a step in the right direction as it pertains to humanity.
I don't see that in Islam, although whatever force that is he/she (god) could be all in how one perceives him. An example here would be what nations operating under Sharia law are doing to Christians. It shows me they have no tolerance, that they have become obsessed with something that is consuming them to the core and leading them down the wrong path. By all rights an American who was of Islamic faith would be considered to be an infidel for even living the American life (as would have to be done if someone was to live in America). Yet they have that sneaky cop-out clause that states that if they are acting in a form of deception their is no sin to lie or deceive if it's in concert to eradicating the infidel.
It's fucked up PowerStroker, and you know it! So every now and again America has to rein down some old testament kind of wrath on these radical nations who have leaders that have become more of a God than a servant.
So let's hope Obama is genuine as Cherry Pie, or our chickens could be coming home to roost. You are aware that there is no way our congress is going to come to an agreement on cuts right? You are aware that it will be the military that takes the brunt of the mandatory cuts right? And you are aware that we just disassembled our last 9 megaton bomb right? But we are told we don't need a big stick, that 9 megatons is too much, and a bunch of far more accurate 1 megaton warheads are enough. Naw.. Seems like the de-fanging of America. Bringing our arsenal more in line with other nations. The irony here is that we get hit with a 9 megaton bomb, meanwhile have to fire 9 rockets to match one of our enemies.
Ill say it again.... It's fucked up PowerStroker, and you know it. If I thought that by giving up all nukes would result in the rest of the world becoming non-violent and peace loving then I would agree, but we all know that's never been the way of it as far back as the stone age. Some things never change, and only a fool would think otherwise.
