Gadafi is a military target

[nimbus]

Compared to Libya, the second gulf war was an iron clad deal.

false WMD claims, flimsy claims of al qaeda ties. that is such horse shit man

At least we weren't tearing off trying to assassinate a foreign head of state in the name of protecting civilians.

If we want to off Guadafi because he's an asshole who contributes to the destabilization of the region and supports terrorism (I.e. Flight 103), go for it. But this charade about declaring him a military target based on some resolution to protect civilians is a joke.

Let's try using that logic somewhere else: I'm sure there is a UN resolution out there protecting the rights of women. I'm sure Pakistan has problems in this area. But we give financial aid and military support to the Pakistani government. And the US commander-in-chief is Barry. So does that make him a legitimate military target per UN resolution?

you're being a clown right now and deliberately ignoring the fact that article is just speculation on what is technically feasible. nobody has declared him as a target. jesus, it even explicitly says so in the article. i bet you didn't even read the resolution. here you go man, show me where it says we're taking out gaddafi. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/mar/17/un-security-council-resolution

all this speculation about taking out gaddafi because of the phrase "all necessary measures"

check this:
"Prime Minister David Cameron told his Members of Parliament on March 21st that while he still wanted Col Gaddafi to go, the UN resolution was “limited in scope” and “explicitly does not provide legal authority for action to bring about Gaddafi’s removal from power by military means”."

You guys haven't learned yet ? Liberals will NEVER admit to being wrong or that their leaders play a part in anything ever. It's not even worth drawing them a picture because the side of their brain that controls rational logical thought doesn't exist.

Just a quick reminder here guys


"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them."
Sen. Carl Levin (d, MI), Sept. 19, 2002.

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002.

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."
Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002.

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seing and developing weapons of mass destruction."
Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002.

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."
Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002.

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force — if necessary — to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002.

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years . We also should remember we have alway s underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
Sen. Jay Rockerfeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002,

"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do."
Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002.

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction. "[W]ithout question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. And now he has continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real ...

That is a very good post.... However, you left out they found "Yellow Cake Uranium," the main component to making nukes. They hid it in Canada, so the liberal media coudn't get their hands on the story, and down play it, like they always do....

So were the terms of the UN resolutions requiring inspections and the violated cease fire so-called "horseshit" as well? I love how people rally around WMD accusations being false and conveniently overlook the round-after-round of weapons inspectors that were thrown out of the country by sadam.

And I'm warming-up to this "he isn't a target, but his military is and he is the head of the military" argument. Maybe it's just pure coincidence that all the places he seems to hang out wind-up flattened. As a matter of fact, let's argue that we haven't dropped a single bomb. Instead, we have dropped "a collection of parts that could and in this case have been coincidentally assembled into a device that under certain circumstances may have percussive and thermal effects.". I like that! I sure hope this license to drop the aforementioned devices doesn't expire the moment Barry leaves office.
