OT – War #3?

[quote=zk][quote=afx114]It’s obvious to me why we need to be bombing Libya: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDS81Ibazdk[/quote]

I’d been searching far and wide for a reason why we should be attacking Libya. That reason seems as good as any I’ve heard so far. Hilarious.[/quote]

I just found out from my yahoo list of hot articles that Qaddafi had pig fat put in his face by a surgeon….so there’s your answer.

Seems like Lybia is becoming a front lead by France and Britain. We are going along for the ride like the Brits went along with us to Iraq.

The two presidents, Obama and Sarkozy, had a couple of very rough telephone conversations last week about the limits that Obama is trying to impose on the American role, withdrawing certain combat aircraft from strikes against the Libyan forces.

At the end of the day, I think there’s some kind of creative tension at work here that probably does both sides some good, with Obama being quite restrained, Obama, in contrast to this impulsive, impetuous Frenchman that many people see, being the cold, analytical person working for restraint.

So, he imposes some restraint on what NATO can do, and Sarkozy is constantly trying to push the limit on that. It leads to some strained relations, although, interestingly enough, on that March 19 Saturday, when French warplanes took off, Hillary Clinton was in Paris and had a long talk with Nicolas Sarkozy.

Hillary Clinton at that point and the State Department were much more on the side of intervention than the White House was.

MARGARET WARNER: Yes.

JIM HOAGLAND: And, in the course of that conversation, I gather it became clear to Sarkozy that he should talk to Obama and try to get the Americans much more involved than they were, and to some good effect, I think, at the end of the day.
