    Well, my man, explain to me why Obama didn't give the African Union (AU) a chance to meet with Qaddafi before the assault. Mr. Obama has turned out to be a big disappointment to Black America. We need a real Black American as President. Someone whose mother is black american and whose father is black american. Then we will see real change in this country and the world.

    India, Russia, China are all peoples republics, in that Russia and China both had peoples revolutions of arms just like Qaddafi and Libya. India had a peaceful revolution.
    Germany however? now that was a surprise, but i believe they might still have their bond to the Muslims from Nazi times, when they were, supporters of the Nazi persecution of Jews. Remember that Libya and both Tobruk and Benghazi where the battlefields between Germany and the UK in WWII

    Possible, but I think its a lot simpler than that. Check out Russia, laying it on thick:

    Notice he didn't use UN Sec council veto power to block the vote, but instead abstained, let it go forward, and then started slinging mud in an effort to stir up the crap.


    Thats a bit simplistic. Lets not forget the rebels are Muslims too. Perhaps Germany didn't see a clear plan after the removal of Qadhafi. What was it they used to say about Bush and Iraq? Oh yeh:

    Of course old flip-flop is curiously silent about this operation, but at least a few Democrats are honest to their principals:

    I like Sarkozy and think Qadhafi should have been shot along time ago, especially now that we know he directly planned the Lockerbee bombing, but considering Lybia exports most of it's oil to Europe and specifically France, can anyone explain to me how they are going to fight the "War for Oil" propaganda?

    I haven't a clue why the AU did not meet with Qaddafi before the assault - after 40 years the Libyan uprising is simply seeking change. What is there the AU or anyone else needs to discuss with the dictator other than the goal of forming a gov't without his presence as the top priority.

    Being a Caucasian it seems to me Obama is a real black American but defer to your position if that is your opinion. The African community in my opinion supports the present Administration and Obama but whether he is able to turn the tide of political persuasion to help benefit them more to their expectations is another matter entirely.

    Don't have to steal it to be accused of it. Look at Iraq.

    Yes, that's what I did when I made my informed comment. Oil companies move in and sign up their deals whilst there's noone in place to lead or decry the situation. You must think the world wasn't watching.

    Believe me, I am sure there is a good reason. The US is the most reasonable out of them all.
    The countries you mention are the countries where most of the terrorist and evil murderers come from...
    and for once were not leading the effort and you all still got something to say about it so either way their not happy and will talk crap about us....................... haters!
    nough said...
    I wouldn't give any assistance... They hate us any other time until they want/need something. I would just give them the finger. and that would be the middle one...

    So oil development contracts with multi-national companies = theft of Iraqi oil? Who the hell do you think was in Lybia (And Iraq) drilling for oil before these altercations took place? Who do you think will be there after? The oil went to France before they bombed Qadhafi's house. You think the oil won't be going to France afterward? Could you be any more naive?

    I'll tell you one difference between Iraq and Libya. Bush went to congress and got near unanimous consent from both houses. Obama just pulled the trigger.

    Considering what is going on I would have to say good job Obama (for once)
    I have not researched all this too much because I could care less about those countries anyway since they hate us so bad, but Bush was after oil,IMO, and this is about that guy from Libya is killing innocent people. I know Saddam was too and I think we should have just killed Sadam and left the country alone and got out, IMO.

    I think we are all about to get a lesson on what happens when you just leave after toppling a dictator. Not so sure you are going to like the outcome(assuming Qadhafi gets overthrown, which is still very questionable).

    Ya, your probably right but the people of Iraq are so ungrateful I think we should have left them on their own to fen for themselves. All this crap going on in the Middle East, I just hope it stays over there... They have all chosen to fight forever so let 'em kill each other... It would be less terrorist.

    In all fairness, Bush (Rumsfeld more specifically ) royally f*#@ed up in Iraq by trying to do the reconstruction on the cheap. Had they poured the troops and money into Iraq in 2003 that they finally did in 2007, we would already be out of there. Its my concern with Libya. You can't just destroy a nation's military infrastructure and leave and expect the place to be anything but a sh*thole terrorist hangout, filled with people who hate you. More than the mishandling of the gulf oil spill, I can see this action being the undoing of Bo-Bo's second term.
