MARCH 19, 2011
OBAMA: 'Today we are part of a broad coalition. We are answering the calls of a threatened people. And we are acting in the interests of the United States and the world'...

MARCH 19, 2003
BUSH: 'American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger'...

I think the fact that both conflicts started on March 19th is a way in which the "world" is trying to tell us something.

Future prediction:

"Mission Accomplished" on May 1, 2011​

Ha! Very possible.

Anyone aware if there is any popular support for Qaddafi in Libya? My poorly-based understanding is that Libyans are overwhelmingly opposed to Qaddafi. How many are opposed to foreign intervention? Indicators the USG will attempt to occupy Libya as it has done with Afghanistan? Predictions on possibilities of organized resistance to a new partly-USG occupation which would "force" the US to remain indefinitely?

This could get ugly.

STATEMENT BY SENATORS McCAIN, KERRY AND LIEBERMAN
Senators Urge Swift Implementation Of U.N. Security Council Resolution
March 18, 2011

WASHINGTON, D.C. *– U.S. Senators John McCain (R-AZ), John Kerry (D-MA), and Joe Lieberman (I-CT) today released the following statement regarding the United Nations Security Council resolution regarding Libya urging swift implementation:

“We applaud tonight’s action by the UN Security Council authorizing ‘all necessary measures’ to impose a no-fly zone in Libya and protect civilians and civilian-populated areas under threat of attack. The Administration deserves credit for getting this Resolution passed with such strong support. This was an important step on behalf of the people of Libya, but it will only be as effective as its implementation. With Qaddafi’s forces moving towards Benghazi, we must immediately work with our friends in the Arab League and in NATO to enforce this resolution and turn the tide before it is too late. We must also build a bipartisan consensus here at home to support the President in taking the swift and decisive measures necessary to stop Qaddafi.”

And of course Lyndsey Graham..."Iran!"

Official Press release:

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement on the establishment of a No-Fly zone over Libya and what United States inaction means for our own national security. Graham is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

“One test in foreign policy – at least be as bold as the French. Unfortunately, when it comes to Libya we’re failing that test.

“The French and British are right to call for a no-fly zone over Libya, and they are correct to recognize the forces opposing Gaddafi. I’m very disappointed by the indecisiveness of the Administration in the face of tyranny. They are allowing the cries of the Libyan people to fall on deaf ears.

“Allowing Gaddafi to regain control over Libya through force – without any meaningful effort to support the Libyan people – will create grave consequences for our own national security.

“The biggest winner of an indecisive America refusing to stand up to dictators who kill their own people, will be the Iranian regime. The Iranian regime has already used force against their own people when they demanded freedom. If we allow Gaddafi to regain power through force of arms, it is inconceivable to me that the Iranians will ever take our efforts to control their nuclear desires seriously.

And today:

Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.), a senior member of the Armed Services Committee, said that allied forces -- led by the U.S. -- should expand the scope of its military mission to remove Gadhafi from power.

"I am very worried we are taking a back seat rather than a leadership role," he said on Fox News Sunday. "Isolate, strangle and replace this man. That should be our goal."

And of course Lyndsey Graham..."Iran!"



And today:

So, if Lindsey's "French Test" is to be taken seriously, he would have supported the Vietnam War, as well as aiding a counterinsurgency in Algeria as well as the genocidaires in Rwanda.

Unfortunately, Lyndsey has one and only one test: AIPAC says jump, he asks "how high" and then adds "I can jump higher than that."
