Stuff going on in Libya

[fredv3b]

From what I heard, Moammar Gadhafi has been in Libya for several years.

42 years actually.

It looks like that the people of Libya are finally waking up and smelling the coffee by rebelling against this fascist and his enemies.

To be honest I strongly suspect that many in Libya would have rather been rid of him for many years, but believed a revolt would fail and cost many lives in the process. Recent events in North Africa have, I believe, changed their minds.

I also heard that Moammar Gadhafi supports al-Qaeda.

I hear that accusation from time to time, I've never heard any evidence to support it. That said I certainly wouldn't put it past him. I, at least, have no idea who would take power if Gadaffi were removed. I would not take it for granted that they would not support al-Qaeda

I read in one news headline... Obama says Moammar Gadhafi will be destroyed in 2 days. Two days have passed... it didn't happen.

Anyone who believed that absurd headline, in my view, knows worryingly little about war.

To me it seems like Obama is pulling off a George W. Bush. History has repeated itself... the only thing is it's happening in Libya, not Iraq.

I see no evidence of that whatsoever. Obama hasn't committed the Army. If Obama wants to get rid of Gadaffi and his regime himself it requires the Army and some soldiers will get killed. If Obama merely wants to support the rebels he can take out the Libyan Air Force, bomb a few key strategic buildings and supply arms to the rebels. I really do not think this will be another Iraq, on the other hand, that does not necessarily mean it will work out well.
