Obama Mimics Bush: Libyan Intervention Ahead

Source

Obama is clearing the decks for military intervention in Libya. U.S. forces are being moved into the area. A few days ago, Obama told Gaddafi to step down. Now, in the same manner that Bush tried to make Saddam Hussein responsible for a U.S. attack, Obama has warned Gaddafi that his behavior is “unacceptable” and that he, Gaddafi, will be held responsible for continuing violence in the area. Obama, like Bush, has also said that all military options are on the table. Meanwhile, in both parties the proponents of U.S. empire and oil-hegemony (like McCain, Kerry, and Yoo) have ramped up their rhetoric calling for intervention. They began with calls for a no-fly zone and have upped their demands from there. All of this points in one direction: Obama will introduce U.S. military force in Libya. The shape of it (NATO, EU, UN, Arab nations) is being stamped out now.

Well here we go folks, what are your thoughts on this?
Personally i don't know where this is going to go but it certainly would not surprise me if the US and/or other NATO forces committed troops, i mean oil is far more important than life, right?

I must say .. I'm quite disappointed with Obama .. at first .. I supported him .. but everything he has done so far has proven he's just another war mongerer ... with no inte ntion of fixing issues at home .. the US could really use all the money right now to fix our educational .. healthcare .. internal job crisis .. instead he's spending trillions on unnecessary wars ...

I voted for this guy because he said he would bring troops home and END wars ... he's just another bush with better english ..

Oh hold your horses. This didnt say anything new and its all about other people who wanting to go in with troops not the President. Knock it off with the misleading titles already. It should read Dems and Republicans call for President to go to action and yet he continues to keep us out of it.

US has and continues to do nothing in this situation. Only troops that have gone in have come from UK. Once again this oil goes to Europe this isnt our problem.
