kelpdiver 2 #1 April 1, 2011 Seems like we should be talking about yesterday's announcement that the US will no longer engage in air exercises. It of course prompted a different group of Senators to complain, lead by "100 Years" McCain. I like the move - I think the longer we go, the harder it gets to extract ourselves from this civil war.

Kennedy 0 #3 April 1, 2011 I agree. But if we're not going to fly missions, what part, if any, will the US play? Are we still bringing "unique capabilities" to bear? If we went ecause I. Was the right thing and to support UN decisions, why change course now? Just a little spainin would go a long way. Obama could make himself and the country look better if he made it clear just what the hell he's up to.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, if they see a real need to step in and help the rebels, how about first withdrawing a large portion of our forces from Iraq? Also, why help the Libyan rebels in the first place? Why didn't we help stop the Rwandan massacre and other massacres in other shitholes? Our government's priorities in helping certain peoples are fucked up.
