We’re not embarrassed to admit that we can’t make up our minds about the war in Libya.
One one hand, we’re tempted to say, “Screw you and the camel you rode in on” to the leader of the Libyan rebels. On the other hand, we’re tempted to say the same thing to President Obama for getting us involved in this fiasco.
Sky News has the inflammatory information:
Libyan rebels have accused NATO of being too slow to act – and asked them to suspend operations unless they “do the job properly”.
Rebel leader Abdel Fattah Younes has complained the alliance takes hours to respond to events on the battlefield because of an overly bureaucratic process.
He claimed the alliance’s inaction was allowing Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s forces to advance and was letting them kill people in the rebel-held city of Misrata “everyday”.
He said: “NATO is moving very slowly, allowing Gaddafi forces to advance. NATO has become our problem.”
Mr Younes also said if NATO wanted to lift Col Gaddafi’s weeks-long siege in Misrata, it could have done it weeks ago.
NATO took over from a coalition led by the United States, Britain and France on March 31.
So let’s see if we can follow this. First, the Arab League begged NATO to help the Libyan rebels. Then the Arab League condemned NATO for getting involved. Now the leader of the Libyan rebels is complaining that NATO has become the problem instead of the solution.
Oh, yeah, this is all going to turn out well.

Libya is not a fiasco. Obama said he stopped Gadaffis deadly advance. Obama knows the USA can never run out of money. The USA must bring democracy to all other countries. Obama must take funds from education, health, etc and use it for the war in Libya and future wars to come. He can call in the draft to get more soldiers. Americans are prepared to die for democracy.
Is this a joke?
Frankly, this seems the perfect conflict with which obam may hone his, um, warrior skills. No matter what he does it will cost Americans billions and probably lives. There will be no consensus and he can't make this skunk smell rosy, no matter what he does.
They are islamist morons. what a waste of time
Isn't "islamist morons" an oxymoron??
Well, if NATO is the problem, NATO should just leave then.
Nothing a few nukes can't solve. And I am so sick and tired of the US being the world's police force. Not like we're any good at it.
Actually, I believe we would be GREAT at being the worlds police force, if and that is a HUGE IF, our society had not been feminized by the dickless progressives, if we would let real men lead our military, not Petraeus', Powells and politicians and if we would cut off ALL funding of the U.N and throw those pussy Communists out of our country.
