Members phkrause Posted August 23, 2011 Author Members Posted August 23, 2011 I do agree that we could've played a bigger role, but I also agree with how Obama handle this. And besides he would've been critisized by the same two if he did what they wanted.

Will they be as bad or worse than Gadhafi?Who is backing the rebels? If some reports are true there is a plan for Sharia law .Will this make it better than Gadhafi’s?

Dr. Shane Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Obama violated the War Powers Act by refusing to get Congressional approval for this action. That rings like a dictator. I wonder if he will also go against Supreme Court rulings that go against him. I was very disappointed in him that he didn't have the integrity to abide by the War Powers Act like both G.W.H. Bush and G.W. Bush did. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor... Find me at www.PostumCafe.com Author of Peculiar Christianity

And we know that the rebels have the same policy the US does? Who are the rebels. If they want democracy why do they want Sharia law? Who is going to be in control of all the weaponery Libya has.

bonnie Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 .....Fears Over Libya's Missiles And Mustard Gas By Dominic Waghorn, US correspondent | .. Fears Over Libya's Missiles And Mustard Gas ....Among the most pressing concerns about a post-Gaddafi Libya is the risk of the country's many loose weapons falling into the wrong hands. Television pictures of rebels swarming out of Gaddafi's Tripoli bunkers heaving with newly-acquired weaponry have not reassured nervous security officials on both sides of the Atlantic. "Weapons proliferation has been a matter of concern for many months for us and the TNC (Transitional National Council)," US State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters in Washington. Most worrying is the amount of surface-to-air missile (SAMs) launchers washing around Libya. In April, US Africa Command commander General Carter Ham told America's Congress as many as 20,000 SAMs were in the country when the operation began. "Many of those, we know, are now not accounted for. Each one is capable of bringing down a civilian airliner," he said. Reporting on the road to Ras Lanuf in March, Sky News saw the myriad weapons acquired by rebels. Back then, some did not even know what they were brandishing. One rebel told Sky his surface-to-air missile was a rocket-propelled grenade. Initially, none of the SAMs had any battery packs, but later rebels seemed to have acquired them. The military with its penchant for unwieldy acronyms calls them MANPADS - man-portable air-defence systems. Imagine combining MANPADS with jihadists and a bit of know-how and you understand the security fears. There seems little doubt there were jihadists among the rebel ranks during the Libyan uprising. There are also concerns about mustard gas stockpiles, and more conventional weapons. The new government in Libya will be under intense pressure to secure its borders against the passage of arms and track them down within the country. .....Explore Related Content1 - 4 of 8prevnextGo to page 1Go to page 2 ...Libya success leaves Brits cold Libyan Oil 'To Flow Again Within A … Libya's reconstruction representative on the country's Transitional National … Full Story » Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.

Seems like you favor Ghadaffi as the future of Libya. No I asked some questions.Tell me how rebels that want Sharia law for Libya can be fighting for democracy. Does anyone know who the rebels are and what they want once in power? Is there going to be an ounce of difference between the former Libya and the coming new "Libya"? If not, what is the US helping the rebels fight for? If the rebels want a country with Sharia law as their civil and religious law one thug is being exchanged for another,with the "other" being supported by the US. The whole point of democracy is that they determine what happens in the future If two thugs are duking it out how does that have anything to do with democracy or be something the US should provide verbal and financial support for Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.
