I've seen the pictures.

Hmm, on searching for footage, this looks to be him dead in a freezer:

Ding dong, the monster's gone?

I heard there was footage of them dragging his body through the streets.

It's all garbage, his great-great-great grandfather immigrated from Ireland to New York City in 1850. People who say otherwise are misinformed, bigoted, idiotic Tea Party retards.

Or any Democrat for that matter. Honestly though, I do sometimes wonder if Obama would have the problems he does if he were white. Like the birther thing... which, on a side note, isn't all that slander?

I found the speech to be very clear in laying out the reasons for our actions, and I agree with them. I also found the commentary on MSNBC afterwards to be amusing as they talked about how some Republicans went from criticizing Obama for inaction and demanding that he do something to condemning him for doing exactly what they had demanded.

Obama is making a speech right now saying that NATO's taking over will significantly reduce the financial effect on Americans.

YouTube live feed: http://www.youtube.com/citizentube?feature=ticker

UPDATE: Obama's addressing international leaders' concern of "intervening" in Libya when other people could use or more (or that we should just mind our own business) saying that we should never brush aside taking responsibility as a leader because it would be a betrayal of who we are.

According to him, the U.S.' main point in being there is to protect the Libyan people and enforce the no-fly zone.

UPDATE: Obama's talking about how America doesn't need another Iraq, a country for which he says we are hopeful, since it's cost us years, lives, and $3 trillion.

Ugh... Kia. I keep thinking of that stupid-ass commercial with the rapping hamsters. Gas prices shouldn't go up any more than they were already... seeing as the country had devolved into civil war before the UN went in.

Just heard an excuse to buy a car from Kia because of the "War with Libya will cause gas prices to g up to $5.00 a gallon"!

Never change America!

Ah... I thought you called the UN a tyrant and that confused me. But yeah, power-mad tyrant. It is really a full scale civil war over there.

That tells me Tyrant.

This tells me someone died that shouldn't have.

Anyway, backing out of this convo before my brain melts. Got too much stuff to do then to look into this event as well.

Libyans asked for help, the UN declared a No Fly Zone to keep Gadhafi from bringing in mercenaries to slaughter millions... and the Libyan government declared a "cease fire" to try and dissuade them from enforcing it... then immediately broke the cease fire. I don't know if they violated the NFZ, but it would not surprise me. So the UN decided to take action, apparently lead by the French.

A bunch of countries have backed out or are about to so here is a list and what they were going to give the coalition.
BACKED OUT:
Norway (planes)
UAE United Arab Emirates (planes)

ABOUT TO:
Italy (base usage)
Yemen (planes)

If I was Gadhafi I would shot down every dang plane that passed over my country and state that you have no business telling me how I treat the "rebels" within my country and if you are going to enforce this no fly zone over my country then lets go to war. I would also pull out of the UN because if I remember my history class right the UN by charter they can not enforce a No fly zone or impose sanctions on a country that is not a member.


My point for the previous comment is that because the US is stretched thin already is that he would probably win the war.
