1. That's soooo 1986. n/t

[Riftaxe]

7. Nah, 1986 was a miracle

The blast created khadifi's daughter, aged her 15 months and killed her all in the microseconds of an explosion. Never figured out why it did not spawn a religion, after all there is one based on immaculate conception.

[Wilms]

39. It did form a religion.

I just googled the issue and found a pile of sites claiming the daughter thing was pure fiction. But I must note, every one of them I clicked on was a right-wing rag.

Snopes was inconclusive. So I'm going to hold off on judging that one, too.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

2. Shock and Aw, Fuck!

[Buzz Clik]

3. Oops. Smart bombs. Challenged bombs. Eh.

[thewiseguy]

4. I am hoping he is fried.

[Raine]

16. Me too nt

[tabatha]

5. Oh, jeez, that has just now effed up the whole operation.

[Thunderstruck]

6. Oh gawwwwwd! Did y'all just see that?

They were showing the building with the fist in front of it (the one clutching the USA fighter jet) and saying that it's the building that was just hit.

[malaise]

8. Chile 1973

Kill kill kill!!

[in_cog_ni_to]

9. We're not going after Gadhafi.

:eyes: They never say what they mean.

Not that I would be sorry to see the sorry dictator gone.

[thewiseguy]

12. Oh my god poor Ghaddafi is dead. How horrible!

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. You might want to read the whole post before you reply.

I stated I would NOT be sorry to see the sorry dictator gone.

[obliviously]

49. Fret not, it hit despot!

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

66. A+

[Riftaxe]

18. British and French forces do not suffer similiar constraints

as we do with Executive Order 12333.

[in_cog_ni_to]

23. Ah, I see. So, they're free to kill country leaders. Gotcha. n/t

[cedric]

29. As opposed to oil for blood

opposed to those leaders killing their citizens

[in_cog_ni_to]

35. I

would much prefer just taking out dictators instead of waging wars all over the world. I have no problem with that. I DO have a problem with waging long wars for oil and killing innocent civilians and spending BILLIONS of dollars we don't have.

[Riftaxe]

34. Just speculation, it is undeniably coalition forces

that did it, it is unlikely that it was American forces. Probably British using a tomahawk we sold them, and a difference that only a lawyer could parse.

[Joe the Revelator]

51. But,again, you wouldn't mind seeing this ass bag dead.....remember to couch ALL your responses

[in_cog_ni_to]

54. I'm still waiting on those links.

Where are they?

[Joe the Revelator]

63. This may surprise you, but I have more to do then archiving your posts.

If this is going to be your cop out every time we engage, then save us both some time and put me on ignore.

[in_cog_ni_to]

65. Stop replying to my posts. I didn't respond to anything you posted here...YOU

replied to MY post. You show up in every thread I post in. Are you stalking me? Or what?

You don't "archive" threads. Just go look at all your posts in "My DU" and find the posts where I supposedly said Obama is a murderer and baby killer (which I have NEVER said...EVER) and show me. I never said it, so I know you will never post the links. You shouldn't post things that you can't back up with proof.

Also, I have been a member of DU since 2 days after in went online. I have NEVER put anyone on ignore. It's stupid. And I'm not about to start now over someone like you.

[Puregonzo1188]

33. Assassinations are illegal under international law.

They qualify as "extra-judicial killings."

I needn't tell you why those are bad things.

[backscatter712]

In order to enforce a no-fly zone, a military force must render threats unable to function...

and one of the best ways to do that is to take out command-and-control assets. Such as the person in command and control.

Just sayin...

[mmonk]

10. He must sleep with an anti aircraft gun. Yep I'm sure that's it.

This isn't war or regime change I hear.

[Marblehead]

11. he's probably

in a hidey hole somewhere

[wuushew]

13. Does this mean the Whitehouse is a vaild retaliatory target?

:shrug:

[Drix]

31. The British thought so. n/t

[Scurrilous]

14. Hey Man, Nice Shot. n/t

[Dennis Donovan]

22. R Budd...

...was no Qadaffi.;-)

[roamer65]

15. Goddammit. Sounds like we missed him again.

I hope we keep trying.

[thewiseguy]

27. According to who?

[Casandra]

19. Oh Gosh

Oh my my, how surprising! NOT!!! Guess the mission is getting clearer now. Same mission as always. Kill and destroy.

Gee, how I'd love to have the money that it cost for just one bomb or just one missle...in my checking account.

[TheCowsCameHome]

20. He's probably at a Wal-Mart on Long Island anyway.

[bluestate10]

25. Probaly where he buys his clothing. nt

[RKP5637]

44. LOL

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[KurtNYC]

59. he's more 'Kool & the Gang' circa 1975

if ya ask me

[bluestate10]

21. If the world is lucky, Qaddafi would have been in the building parading

in one of his military uniforms. If the missile hit Qaddafi, I say good riddance to bad rubbish.

[xchrom]

24. Symbolic? Or did they think he was there?

Does it even matter?

[doc03]

26. Well a couple hours ago there was this guy on Faux

saying Obama should target Qaddafi like Reagen did. I wonder what the Faux response to this will be, I am guessing it should have been done yesterday.

[TheCowsCameHome]

28. Reagan should be fairly easy to locate

He's not moving around much these days.

[NoTimeToulouse]

53. One never knows where Zombie reagan shuffles about these days.

[Puregonzo1188]

30. I wonder if we struck anymore of Qadaffi's children.

You know Obama said he admired Reagan...I didn't think he meant we'd be bombing Libya...again.

[Sky Masterson]

32. I hate to wish harm on others

But I can't promise that I would lose any tears if an accident happens to Kadoofus.

[snagglepuss]

58. "Kadoofus" lol.

I needed that:)

[itsrobert]

36. Junior fought his daddy's war and Obama is fighting his dad Reagan's war

nt

[Sky Masterson]

37. Well that should put a stop to the born in Kenya charge.

:hide:

[Paradoxical]

40. face/palm

[MadBadger]

48. So Reagan's a Muslim?

[FLPanhandle]

38. Unless Qadaffi is totally stupid, he was no where near the place.

After 1986, if he was there after the UN passed the resolution, then he is dumber than I thought.

[itsrobert]

41. Hopefully he was going by the saying, "Lightning never strikes twice

in the same place"

[PurityOfEssence]

42. Haven't we now violated the UN Resolution again?

The all-too-broad permission was to protect civilian lives, not for us to assassinate Qaddafi, aid in toppling his regime or have the French attack armored vehicles that are involved in fighting with organized, armed combatants.

Do we believe in laws anymore, or just the ones we find to be convenient?

Doesn't this bother people other than the ones who were already against this adventurism?

45. I thought we were trying to degrade their air defenses, not assassinate?

[The_Casual_Observer]

46. Just one more unpovoked war, put it on the pile.

And all the idiots cheering this shit on.

[Hannah Bell]

55. +100

[harun]

56. The process has become routine now.

Gov't has its role, media has its and the idiots dust off their pom poms and start their cheers.

[Agony]

57. What you said

Fuck

[bobbolink]

61. Here's the difference.

Those of us who are expressing reluctant agreement with the no-fly zone ARE NOT calling those of you with other opinions "Idiots".

But, then, after years of RW rule, we are used to the name-calling when it isn't possible for the other side to engage in civil discourse.

[The_Casual_Observer]

64. Good for you

[Joe the Revelator]

52. You'd weep over a dead Gadaffi?

[spanone]

47. he's got bunkers, you betcha

[Monique1]

50. Are you not paying attention?

Gadaffi's communication system at the compound. Geeez.................

[backscatter712]

60. Hopefully, we're in luck and Qadaffi was in the building when it was hit... n/t

[jefferson_dem]

62. Aye.

[grahamhgreen]

67. I wonder if he had his google latitude turned on....
