Odd how opinions about bombing the "bad guys" seem to vary isn't it?

The initial U.S. bombing of Libya under Obama, part of Operation Odyssey Dawn, began on March 19, 2011, and lasted for about seven months, concluding when NATO terminated its mission on October 31, 2011, following the death of Muammar Gaddafi. Subsequent U.S. airstrikes against ISIL continued from 2015 to 2019.

Gee,...I wonder if Libya posed anywhere near the threat Iran did? :unsure: :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:. Did Obama get congressional approval 1st? Nope,....sure didn't. I wonder if we can find any old JPP posts in the archives of LWers calling his actions unconstitutional and illegal? :rolleyes: Especially LAUGHABLE when he said it would last DAYS instead of the seven MONTHS it did.

:magagrin:
 
And BTW,....why did that draggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg on for SEVEN MONTHS when Libya had nowhere near the infrastructure that Iran does,...well...DID ? Inquiring minds want to KNOW...;):rolleyes: Fucking LIARS!

Iranian threat to U.S interests......... 9


Obama does it.......Not a fucking PEEP.

Trump takes out a regime LIGHT YEARS more dangerous in a 16th of the time..........WAR CRIMINAL!!!! MURDERER!!!!! STOP THE WAR !!!!!!!

You would be ashamed of yourselves if you had any self respect.

They don't have a shred of self respect.. Especially the veterans here speaking out against the President and their military... What honorable veteran would even consider disrespecting the President and the troops Fighting so bravely for our country? Just because they're unwell doesn't give them an excuse to do so....

Some on the left will avoid this thread like the Black plague...LOL For obvious reasons. ;) :ROFLMAO:

Now,.....if there are leftists in here that can show me how they derided Obama for bombing a country for 7 months after he literally said it would only take a matter of days, NOT weeks..." his words" ,....and how they jumped his ass for not getting congressional approval FIRST ,....AND how they assailed him for his UNCONSTITUTIONAL and ILLEGAL regime change war on Libya,...then I would have respect for them. But they wont,.........because THEY CANT.

Yes....but they REALLY don't believe it. You can bet your sweet ass none of them said a PEEP against Barry when this went on. Its purely ALL political and it makes me SICK.
 
I'm no muzzy lover.

but tariffs and embargos might have also been effective against Iran.

heres the neocon stupidity:

bombing Gaza babies = totally fine, but,

tariffs = a sin against humanity.

this is globalist demonism and hatred.
 
Another Point is.........IRAN was a far greater threat to American interests than Libya ever was. Not even In the same galaxy if were honest. The TRUTH..........they are scared shitless that Trump will be the one who took out the Iranian regime and orchestrated the freeing of a nation and a FREE and Democratic Pro west/ Pro American govt in a very short time with very little loss of American life or hardware. This thought petrifies them. It is also the main reason that they practically DROOL at the thought of American loss of life. They actually WANT this to go badly for our troops for PURELY political reasons only,...which is QUITE SICK. If our military can pull this off with low casualties and no troops on the ground it will be hard to take for them. THIS is why they are so angry. Because day by day it is looking like that will indeed be the outcome.
