(2,720 posts)...justified by UN Security Council Resolution 1973, did exactly as it was intended. It directly saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of Libyans, removed from power an unstable dictator with no qualms against sending agents into other nations to murder Americans, and increased the status of the U.S. in the region (with indirect effects of safety). All without direct U.S. military intervention.
So seriously guy, you need to get your unreasoning hatred right. It was the French who were doing sorties into Libya. The U.S. only acted in a support role. (Admittedly, the French could not have sustained this without the U.S.'s support, but still.)
So in addition to being an apologist for terrorists, you're also completely wrong on the facts. Last time I checked, Bush didn't "intervene" in Iraq by merely supporting the French in helping the Iraqi people overthrow Saddam. Most NATO members were entirely against Bush's adventure from the start.
