So, we have chosen sides in Libya

[ProdigalJunkMail]

and lobbed some high explosive ordnance into the Libyan military to help out the rebels. I think this may be a distraction to keep us in the dark about just how horrid the nuclear situation is in Japan...

and it is hypocritical bullshit, to boot!

1. Jeeze, the LIbyans knew just when to protest

so that their efforts could be used to keep us distracted from Japan - despite the fact that reports from Japan have been on more news outlets than Libya.

2. They have been protesting for over a month...

but you missed that part...and never mind those other countries...

sP

3. They've also been massacred for over a month.

Half of the deaths came before the Japan Earthquake.

5. Very convenient that we strike now...

it seems to be yet one more example of proof that the American Newswatching Public cannot focus on one topic for more than 72 hours...gotta have something new and shiny to show them...

7. Yes, but they knew to start before the earthquake started.

And Gaddafi knew just when to say "there will be no mercy".

4. Yeah, it's all about us. The whole Libyan revolt is all about distracting us from Japan.

And that Egyptian thing, that was to take our minds off it, too.

Oh, and Wisconsin: That was to turn our attention from the NCAA basketball playoffs.

6. mockery will get you everywhere...

take a look at the last 10 years at the news cycle...new major story about once a week...can't focus any longer than that...hell, even the gulf oil spill and katrina dropped below the fold after a week or so...only to pop up now and again...

and all follow merrily along...

8. Yeah, and then there's that Revelations thingie.

666, the Beast, the Lions lose 16 straight.

I suggest you consult Glen Beck for insight.

11. Your responses were the best.

[Faygo Kid]

12. Thank you. I am sincerely sorry I misunderstood your post from an earlier thread.

As JFK or FDR might have said, I like the cut of your jib.

[tabatha]

13. I don't even remember.

Stuff has been going by so fast - that stuff gets lost.

[Faygo Kid]

14. Damn. I was hoping you could help me find my car keys, but I guess that's out.

Oh well.

[tabatha]

15. Well, most of the time I can find mine.

except when I leave them in a pocket, in the laundry basket.

9. Don't forget the brackets. They were to make us forget that...

Huh. I do t remember what they made us forget. Musta worked.

10. You think the President is wagging the dog

to stop people from paying attention to Japan?

Then what was Japan? To stop people from paying attention to Wisconsin?

Don't you have better things to do, Mr. Beck? There's a can of paint thinner you could go huff.

[DainBramaged]

16. Looks like some people on DU have chosen sides too

I guess it's OK to kill sme of the people in Libya to stop a dictator, only we're about three weeks too late.....

[11 Bravo]

17. Damned clever, those Ay-rabs. They knew just when to start getting murdered by a dictator.

[Posteritatis]

18. There's some bullshit here, but I don't think it's the same bullshit you think it is.. (nt)
