Will there be any outrage about dead kids coming home from Libya?

The whole topic *bores* Krause.

I am always amused when the democrats sit idly by as a democratic
president prosecutes an idiotic war but they get all over a republican
for the same war.

Looks like you're about to join the traitors.
Are you seriously comparing Iraq to Libya?
It appears you just called them "the same war."
Are you anticipating the death of American military in Libya?
Will that happening "prove you right?"
Do you want to be "right?"
You just dropped 97 notches on the intelligence scale.
I'm surprised.
But as I said in another post, low politics has no morality or sense of
judgement.
As soon as you start talking "democrat" and "republican" you forfeit the
right to be taken seriously.
You become a puppet to those labels.
But it's amusing to see you join the ranks of Mike Moore and Scotty
Ingersoll in one fell swoop.




Iraq started as a no fly zone, as did Bosnia. We are still in both
countries.


It did not start as a no-fly zone. It started with Bush I rolling back
the Iraqi advance into Kuwait.


No that mission ended when we wisely abandoned the pursuit of the
Republican guard into Iraq. We were supposed to come home, only
leaving a token force behind to protect Kuwait ... for a short period
of time.

The whole no fly zone thing came about as a totally different policy
when some moron decided if we could keep Saddam's air force down, the
Kurds would topple Saddam. It sounds like what we are doing in Libya
today.


Under which presidency was that? Hmmm... GHWB. As I said, it started
as a roll-back from Kuwait.

Perhaps Bosnia was worth it? Or, do you think ethnic cleansing is
ok...


I am not sure we did much more than postpone the next round of ethnic
cleansing. If we really thought we had fixed anything we would come
home but we have just created another Korea where we keep 50,000
troops to keep people who want to kill each other from killing each
other, basically replacing the Soviets who did that for 45 years.


Really? I guess you haven't been keeping up on the current events. Do
a Google search and get back to us.
