| Why Are Pacifist Europeans Declaring War on Libya? |
| 2011-03-24 |
| An unintended but highly illuminating irony of the military intervention in Libya is that it has exposed the duplicity behind European pacifism. |

| #4 Libya's anti-ship missiles are a much bigger threat. Sink a couple of merchant ships and much of the European economy would grind to halt as cargo traffic in the Med stopped. The Euros are trying to knock those missiles out |

| #3 #2 I wonder if European Leaders gave any thought to how many Scuds Qadaffy has? Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2011-03-24 16:51 Yeah, but how many of them would actually work? I'd expect half of them would blow up on their Transporter-Erector-Launchers. The rest would be as equally likely to hit Tripoli as anything they were aimed at. The only places in "Europe" close enough to hit with a SCUD would be Pantellaria or Malta, and Malta may be a stretch. |

| #1 Why? Because the Euros have figured out that with Zero as president they can declare war and fight it with American servicemen, arms and money. No harm no foul from their POV. |
