U.S. Strikes Libya: Was It the Right Decision?

The United States and its allies have taken the initiative to launch missiles toward Libyan targets.

Firing more than 110 cruise missiles from the Mediterranean Sea, American, French and British warships have already struck multiple military targets. This assault has been cause for great cheer for the rebels, who have been attempting to overthrow Moammar Gaddafi for quite some time.

But the fight is far from over. Gaddafi has condemned these actions and vows to fight what he calls "flagrant military aggression."

Meanwhile, America's long-term plan regarding Libya is unclear.

U.S. officials say that, for now, its only concern is protecting Libyan civilians and forcing Gaddafi into retreat. Though the U.S. has acknowledged that their inevitable goal is to overthow Gaddafi from power, officials admit there is no clear path of doing so.

Do you think America's attack on Libya was the right decision?

    He DID it without going to congress 1st. Thats IMPEACHABLE and UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!! But then short of breathing EVERYTHING odummer has done while in office has been 100% ILLEGAL and 90% UNCONSTITUTIONAL and TEASONOUS!!!! AND thats ONLY IF he is even constitutionally allowed to even BE president, which he has NOT proven the way he is suppose to have and the DEMOCRATICE House was suppose to CERTIFY.

    I DID Now ODUMMER You need to see what his job is. HE has to go to congress to get the okay to do what he is doing in Lybia. What he is doing is no diff than what Bush did and he was required to go to congress IN BOTH CASES. If this was a Republican the communist party that YOU ARE a part of the one called the Democratic party would be calling for his head.

    If he doesnt DECLARE war he doesnt have to go to congress. Bush DECLARED war Obama didnt. He can do almost anything he wants with the military exept declare war. I dont like that little loop hole but until its changed he has every right to use it.
  • Joey Wolf97 2011/05/26 00:33:26
    Joey
    He is in a WAR attitude. HE IS putting our service members in harms way. HIS IS COMMITTING ACTS OF WAR. IF this was Bush YOU would be calling for HIS HEAD and do not even try to say you would not.

    HE has to be in front of Congress getting the OK to use our people and forces this way. ITS what they call Checks and Balances so our President does not just become a DICTATOR like this one IS. HE DOES HAVE TO GO B4 congress to get the ok and the money for this. PERIOD!! YOU check the facts ODUMMER!!

    Just like it is ILLEGAL and UNCONSTITUTIONAL for Odummercare, HE and the congress cannot do that. And to have pushed it through without knowing what was in it in its entirety is ILLEGAL and UNETHICAL and Mob Boss like or Dictator like

    The president even if he were constitutionally allowed to be president, which this idiot isn't. Reid and Pelosi KNOW it and thats why they want to PUSH everything though is to keep the people on other things and off them and odummer and keep those and others out of jail.

    Checks and balance the idiot does HAVE TO GO B4 CONGRESS FOR THE okay.
    Just like they are not allowed to hide funding for a bill inside of that bill, like they did in odummercare. ILLEGAL is and UNCONSTITUTIONAL is the only way this guy wants to function. He like YOU are WRONG and just cause YOU want to be a Dictator does not give you the right to do so.

    Did you not listin to a thing i said? Because he didnt Declare war he did not tecnicaly go to war. The president has full control over the military and can do almost anything exept declare war. I dont like that he can do that but he can so until its changed he is completely whithen his bounds.
  • Joey Wolf97 2011/06/25 00:58:59

    And he does not have the right to bomb people without the congressional approval cause THAT ACT IS AN ACT OF WAR. And now he is beyond the constitutional limit that he was hiding behind. He is a Terrorist of the USA and needs to be impeach and found guilty of the treason he has committed.

  • Joey Wolf97 2011/08/24 18:55:40
    Joey
    No they are NOT. HE is NOT allowed to be president under the rule of the constitution, He has put almost every person into offices or made positions and said Congress YOU do not get to question them cause I put them there. He has committed acts of WAR in Lybia and never gotten the OKAY from congress. He is suing states that put laws in the books to do what HE is suppose to do and isn't. He is far worse than Nixon ever was and much more arrogant than Nixon. And even if he was constitutionally allowed to be president he would deserve the same things cause of what he has done and is doing on purpose to this country, its legal citizens and its economy and what he is trying to rip out of the constitution and take away from us as US citizens. He has even gone so far very recently to say in a rally of illegal aliens that he really wants to issue an executive order AGAIN to give every illegal citizenship and take our jobs so they can rape our economy by sending most of the money out of the country. HE is illegally in office and never produced the paperwork needed to even run for president, and fought everyone about his past and that very paperwork and only put out the wrong documents or faked documents and that is the facts.
    He was NEVER born in the USA and his dad was never a citizen of the USA.

    Where are you getting this information? Thousands of people have investigated that and found he is legal, he showd the world his full birth certificate. And by the way he was born in Hawaii, that makes him a US citizen. The arguement your makes shows that you ignore anything that isnt your veiw. If your that close minded please stay out of politics. Go back to watching Fox in your moms basement.

    O screw ball. Take a look at what odummer has done. He has lied 100 percent on when we would be out of Iraq and afganistan. The idiot odummer AGAIN WENT against the Constitution of these United State of America as he went to war without the Okay from congress and that should have him sitting in gitmo all on its own. HE has been trying to put the us under the control of nato and that means NO MORE ELECTIONS and out Constitution is ripped up. HE and NO one in Congress has the right or constitutional ability to do any of that, period. And then there is this little FACT that the A hole WAS NOT born in this country and his father was not born her or a legal citizen and that means he is NOT allowed to be in the position that he is in and that means HE IS a terrorist and that the DEMOCRATIC Party as a whole has committed TREASON with Pelosi in the lead that that is a hanging offense and it should happen to every one of them on live TV. right after they are all removed from office and that also goes for every person that he has made positions unconstitutionally for, and for those that he put in postitions when congress was in recess so they technically could not deny him and that is wrong they should just pull the people out and throw the lot of them in jail, pres., vice pres ...

    EVERYTHING THIS ILLEGAL has done should have put him as impeach and really since he does not have a USA Birth cert. and WAS born in Nigeria of a Nigerian father and who has a SSN number belonging to a dead person from a state that he has not claimed to be born in, IS ALL WRONG AND ALL UNCONSTITUTIONAL and all of it is trash and not valid under OUR constitution and ANYONE that supports any of these people are COMMUNIST TERRORISTS and should be in gitmo waiting trial of dead of hanging or gun shot as those are the two major punishments for treason as I recall. And they all should be done on live TV and the message stated that THIS is what is done to terrorists and traitors in this country and we have all our constitution back in place.

    And He the DNC, Sharpton and Jackson are the ones that are the TRUE RACISTS and traitors and terrorists.

    So many of those statements were false. So I will counter your main points. For one, NATO is a military alliance that is pro-democracy. I don't know why you think they are against elections but you are straight up wrong. Second, the US has not offically gone to war since WW2. The President doesnt need an okay from Congress to fight with the military. Only to DECLARE WAR. Obama's citizenship is not even a topic of debate anymore, it is clear that he is a legal citizen. I suggest you read and learn about topics before you throw your ignorant opinion out.
  • Joey Wolf97 2012/05/25 19:25:25
    Joey
    The point on Nato that I was making is THEY are not of OUR sovereign country and therefore not bound by our laws and that takes them out of being elected. WHEN was ANY in nato elected to their positions by the people from their country, NEVER. And that would take away us electing the people in office and that makes what the pres. wants unconstitutional. We are not to be governed by anyone out side of our country and they are to be elected by us and they are to represent the majority view period.lk

    And YES the pres. does after a certain amount of days have to have the okay from congress to go to war. So the ignorant party is YOU. Congress is the only part of our system that is allowed to okay war period and if you learned it any other way you need to go back to school in this country. And You are trying to play word games When he goes in and bombs people that is an act of war and that brings Congress into it. Otherwise you just have a dictator which is what you are giving the okay for and I will tell you as a vet. LEAVE this country. they have other places that have the kind of gov. that you want and the weather you live in so leave. I know our way works better for the majority of people than ANY other system in the world..
  • Wolf97 Joey 2012/05/25 22:54:59

    All countries in NATO are democracies. They elect their leaders. The President cannot declare war BUT he CAN send troops in. As commander of the armed forces he has that power. I don't like it but until it is changed he can do it.
    By the way, the conflict in Lybia ended awhile ago. And quite successfully at that. As far as military interventions go. I pity you, it must be terrible to have been broken by terrorists. But I will not falter. No. I will stand by my country and her allies.

    Obama wants to turn things over to them and the point is that WE do not elect any of them so they have NO constitutional power the do things that obama has tried to give over to them. AND it was NOT a conflict you idiot. They went in for the very 1st time to go to WAR and that is what it was against the leader of a country with what used to be unthinkable and not allowed, to KILL that leader and anyone around him without any trial.


    And WWII ended A LONG TIME ago and they still have trials for people that they think committed acts against humanity. The FACTS are that odummer had NO constitutional right to do what he did anyway you look at it and he was acting like a dictator NOT the LEGAL president of the USA. And every thing points to him being and unconstitutional person in office and that the ONLY reason he has gotten away with it is threats to his super majority. Cause ANY time any of the Dems or Republicans have called for his impeachment and rightlly so they are shut up.
    Libya was UNCONSTITUTIONAL en every sense and look obama is turning out military drones on US citizens. We have a right to privacy that act is just another in a long string of things that he has done that are impeachable and I can tell you its a FACT that he is WORSE that Nixon ever was and to the ...

Your facts are just so messed up. Where in the Constitution does it state that we cannot take out enemy leaders? The founding fathers knew we would have wars and they knew we would have to get nasty.

    And I tell you what the founding fathers knew just how nasty war was and would get cause they looked people in the eye that they shot and killed and knew full well that there were the chickens that would sneak in and betray. And odummer has done exactly ALL of the things I have said. he IS an economic terrorist, constitutional communist and is acting like a terrorist/ DICTATOR NOT the elected official and has LIED about 99.9999% of the time just like reid and pelosi and many others up there.

    Obama is just a dumb product of affirmative action. He invaded Libya to destabilize the oil prices so he could further his energy agenda by causing oil prices to escalate. The dumb fool will not be re-elected. One thing: the USA showed it could elect a black for president; but we paid a big price for the photo-op: we had to deal with the incompetency of a black president. Well, now lets get him out. Obama is enjoying thinking he is a big shot. Blacks must learn from this that like is not all about style- it is about substance. Walking around in an expensive suite does not make you a man of substance.

    YES YES YES he IS Muslim!!!!!
    HE may go to A church for show but I can guarantee you that he IS ATTENDING muslim meetings physically or over the internet.

    IF you ever read the BIBLE you would understand what is being done. When John the Baptist was in Jail and heard of Christ, John the Baptist sent some of his followers to ask Jesus---Are you the ONE, The Christ? Or do we look for Another? Very straight forward and to the point, without getting nasty and the RIGHT QUESTIONS.

    Jesus Response was. Don't just take our word for it SEE what we do. Basically a person can Say one thing and DO another. But what he really believes in is what he DOES. And for Christ and the Situation that John the Baptist was in and people were asking about, WHAT CHRIST SAID and DID had to line up with the Word of GOD in the Bible about what Christ was going to be doing and his actions as well as his speech had to line up with the word of God.

    Odummer SAYS he is a Christian but EVERYTHING he has done has been IN SUPPORT of the Muslims NOT America or the Christians. So much so that HE SUPPORTS the Building of a Masc, a Worship SITE for Muslims on of very near ground Zero, to grant the Terrotists that did the Attack on America a place, and ALTER to WORSHIP their 1ST successful Attack on America.

Yes I know there were other attacks but NONE of them DID what they were set out to do. AND that IS what ODUMMER SUPPORTS and that IS WHAT HE IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Even Christian Churches do not all get to be Built where they want to all the time or even most of the time. But to Odummer and those supporting this action we are treating them with LESS respect just on the Religion when IN FACT ODUMMER IS IS IS IS giving them MORE MORE MORE and look who he REALLY Identifies with. ITS NOT A CHRISTIAN CHURCH, one that really believes in the Bible and what it says, but it is a false front with a false teacher that will according to the Bible be held accountable for the blood of those they deceive.

    HE SAYS he is a christian BUT BUT BUT HIS ACTIONS ACTIONS ACTIONS SAY his ideals and what he is is a Muslim. NO MUSLIM would ever ALLOW a True CHRISTIAN person to EVER Negotiate ANYTHING for them cause THOSE PEOPLE would say convert or be killed.

    BIG DIFFERENCE!!! The presidents back then HAD to go b4 congress to do so. Odummer HAS to do that also or is committing TREASON and that is what he should be having handed to him now for just DOING things without following ANY of the protocols that the CONSTITUTION REQUIRES him to FOLLOW. He is even stepping on States and Personal RIGHTS GIVEN to us by OUR CREATOR by SUING them, UNLIKE what he is REQUIRED to DO and UPHOLD the CONSTITUTION. He in EVERY instance has DONE JUST THE OPPOSITE of what the CONSTITUTION REQUIRES HIM TO DO. So TREASON is the charge cause he has GONE WAY past Impeachment.

    He is not being held to task for Unconstitutionally going into a country and going to war to over throw a ruler. THAT is suppose to be against international law and I know IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL for him to just go in and do any of this without the Okay of congress and the american people. He is acting like the DICTATOR that he thinks he is. Notice he does not have a Cabinet he has CZARS. Thats cold WAR Russia. Those that think its okay for him to do any of what he has the way he has (esp. since he has never completed all the paper work to show he is allowed to even run for let alone be president) are too dumb to even be in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave and have NO idea what out forefathers went through to have the freedoms that odummer and the rest of the democrats/communists are trying to take away and make us submissive to a world dictator that answers to no one.

    Look under Checks and Ballances OBAMA (Quit trying to POSE as someone else, and even someone else that knows). Otherwise Nether of the Bushes did things right, which they did. They according to you could have JUST GONE IN and gone after these people.

    2 WE ARE AMERICA and NOT under UN law in this country WE ARE UNDER OUR CONSITUTION.
    And Odummer has committed 2 acts of war. 1) in Pakistan for going in and KILLING a person living within their countries boarders and a leader of an org. at that with NO order to bring him out alive, but they were to bring him out DEAD and Odummer IS going after Muammar Gaddafi to over throw that leader and that gov. WHICH IS against our CONSTITUTION. EVEN RAGEN didn't try to do things as much in your face as Odummer is.
