We allegedly don't have money for social security, medicare or medicaid but we must have a stash sitting around to help out libyan dissidents. #######?

TRIPOLI, Libya - Two US warships were heading toward Libya on Wednesday as the West started flexing its military muscle and rebels fighting Muammar Gadhafi's regime began organizing the trappings of parallel government.

The USS Kearsarge and the USS Ponce carrying marines and equipment entered the Mediterranean Sea en route to Libya, the Suez Canal Authority said.

You freakin' neocon.

You freakin' neocon.

lol...I'm not supporting the idea, just wondering out loud if that is one of the motivating reasons?

You freakin' neocon.

Bwahaha.

No doubt though, as much as I want Gadhafi gone, the fight is Libya's to fight, and no one else's. And it's Libya's to pay for, not me or you.

In a perfect world.

In our world, wealthy oil company execs are deploying the armed forces of the government they own to protect their assets.

Totally agree. My prayers are with them. This was and is a tough nut to crack and am proud that the Libyans are sticking it out. God bless them all.

Doubt it - Saudi Arabia said they would increase their production to compensate for the loss in output from Libya.

Or they are increasing their output to pay for the tanks I read about today they sent to Bahrain to help smash the nascent revolt there. Saudis seem a tad worried. Wonder why.

What a shitty world.

They can pay for the tanks with their current output ten times over.

Sure they can and they can pay for a lot of other azz saving things too.

If they wanted that, they would stop printing money.....

The only reason why oil prices are so high and why it's being treated like a commodity in the past few years like it has been, is because the value of the US Dollar has gone to pure #######.
