#2 But White House officials said fears for the safety of Americans in the country had tempered Washington's response to the turmoil.

But now the gloves are off, aren't they? Run away without looking back, Gadaffy. Your worthless life depends on it. Obama has unleashed ... [ Wait for it ] ... SANCTIONS!

Yes, nothing less than sanctions to confound your every breath and vex your POS existance! You'd better be afraid! The peasantry you leave behind should start feeling the edges of the effects in, oh, six or eight months. Long after your sorry ass has been deposed, denuded, diced, dessicated,and disposed of to the four winds.

Worthless, do-nothing, meaningless sanctions. Oh yes, we're all fooled by all the arm-waving and hollering. Nope, we're totally clueless about the fact that once again you have voted "present" without actually having used the word. All in the name of "not getting involved where we don't belong".

And it should only take a few years to have those very same sanctions lifted after all that's left of you is the memory of your syphilitic rule.

Better would have been to overfly the country to prevent Numbnutz from using his own planes against his own people, and plinking every tank and any group of thugs or "elite" guardsmen that shows itself. No need to land or put boots on the ground, just help them out a bit.

#3 Gaddafi kills thousands to stay in power and the denunciations roll in. The Norks intentionally starve hundreds of thousands to death in the past ten years, remain in power, and we still deal with them. As attributed to Stalin - One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic. /sarc off

#4 Events are moving too fast in Libya for sanctions to do much to curb Momar. A feckless response by a president who is incapable of leading. He has stronger statements in support of union thugs in this country.

#5 He has stronger statements in support of union thugs in this country.

But of course. Libyans can't vote for Obama*.

* campaign contributions might be another story...

#9 It amazes me how irrational this dipshit president is. He denigrates America's reputation and achievements for two years then he tries to use the reputation of the US and bully pulpit of the POTUS to influence events around the world.

How can you do one and expect the second to work? I just don't get the jackasses.

#10 How can you do one and expect the second to work? I just don't get the jackasses.

It's Liberal logic. You would have to be a liberal to understand, they are way smarter than us. Just ask one.
