Maybe if I keep asking somebody will know. I can't find a good reason anywhere. As always, US involvement is poorly articulated by the "leadership".

Obama needed a victory of some sort. So he chose a weak target that was hated by the world including most Arab countries.

That's about the only reasonable explanation I've seen. And he didn't even need to argue about WMDs.

(Of course, WMDs are now defined as just about anything more powerful than a spit ball. I've seen fire crackers refered to as WMDs.)

Simple reason, because our president is an idiot...

Easy answer. The muslim brotherhood is behind this, same with Egypt and the rest of the violence, they are friends of the obamination. They want all of the you know what nations under their control, obummer is helping them. POWDERMAN.

Various European countries, all of which are in NATO, wanted Libyan oil.

Good question. I wish more people would ask.

What are the chances that the Muslim Bortherhood will also run Libya.
When the Rebels started they had no Arty of any other larger weapons. Now I see them rolling into Tripoli with Tanks. Where did they get them ??

IMHO it is because the leader of a sovereign nation traded in gold and the Yuan. And NOT the US Dollar that is the "recognized" global trade currency. In short, somebody wasn't getting their cut.

Because the Jews wanted a war in Libya.

If a profit is made or an advantage gained, it wouldn't surprise me.

The problem is you are looking for a good reason. There isn't one. You need to start looking for the real reason.

Instability in North Africa is wanted...to get at oil and other resources....Gaddaffi has alot of information certain folks.
Lybia was not a debtor nation and quite successful in a socialized fashion and with sharia styled banking, and so anti-NWO...that automatically puts you in the axis of evil...and big huge target

Next hotspot Venezuela...now claimed to have the worlds largest oil resources according to OPEC...larger than SA

..TM7

Instabilty to get at a countrys natural resourses? Now that make no sense what so ever.

Now BO forwarding the muslim agenda that is believable. BO is pushing the one world caliphate, we have seen Egypt, now Libya, next Syria. Only the mentally challenged would miss it.

This is another war that you will be paying for at the gas pumps. Why don't our head in their butts government demand repayment in barrels of oil from Iraq, Afganistan, Libya, and everyone other country that we run to begging to send billions and sadly more of our citizens in uniforms to be killed for no other reason than to protect the oil interests of people who care less about human life.

LOST. Possibly, but they can't eat their oil and they can't produce enough food to feed the masses.
BILLY. YEP, and the obamination will do everything he can to help see it happen. POWDERMAN.

PM, you are correct, sir.

Shaggy, your answer is one of the most ridiculous and malicious posts I have seen here at GBO. It is offensive.

Oil will be $200 a barrel. Where we get our food from? China, South America? They will have choices. Are you thinking they will be dependent on our grain exports? With the rise in oil prices grain prices will raise too. That means millions more will starve to death in Africa. We and congress will be the blame because we didn't stop Obama's illegal war.

Billy, you're kidding right? Is this post supposed to be a joke?

powderman · « **Reply #24 on:** August 25, 2011, 04:29:23 AM »

LOST. I see no joke in Billys reply. A one world muslim ruler is the goal of the muslim brotherhood and obama. They are the ones pushing the turmoil all over the you know what world, and obummer is doing everything he can to help them do satans bidding. POWDERMAN.
