Perhaps you fell for the trick in terminology; the U.S. is going to war. While we sit at home, American pilots and ships will be bombing anti-air missile bases, shooting down enemy aircraft, firing on mobile tanks, and ultimately, killing people in Libya.
And if you have any disagreements or questions concerning our involvement in the North African country, you can ask our new war-time President, Barack Obama. Remember him? He's the 2008 Democratic General Election Candidate who proposed to end the war in Iraq, draw down our battles in Afghanistan, and bring the troops home. Remember how he was against Iraq because we had no business being there? Recall how he was going to bring the country together?
Well, the candidate Sen. Obama would probably vote to impeach President Obama, committing U.S. Forces in an attack against Libya through the United Nations. No, he didn't request the mandatory congressional Declaration of War, as he had required in past wars, nor did he invoke "the will of the people" of the United States, as he's dictated all the other wars failed to comply. Just a vote from the United Nations.
But that's ok, right? It's ok that our War-Time President has us fighting in Libya. It's alright that they haven't attacked us and we don't have any resources there. It's ok that we jump into their civil war...after all, we have nothing else going on. Besides, he's a Democrat.
How the tables have turned; tsk, tsk.
