Well, the protestors have won some battles.

They've taken over half of the country, including major citits such as Benghazi.

So they DO have some weapons, just not nearly as much weaponry as Gaddafi's mercenaries.

They have a lot of courage and determination.

If they(Libyans) had been organized it wouldn't cost the international community as much as it will if NATO and the UN decide to step in.

who says america will come to the rescue?

right now all america is doing is talk. hopefully it stays that way.

let the libyans work out their own mess.

i don't know. they have some , don't know how much. not nearly enough.

don't underestimate the power of the mob. even an unarmed one.

soldiers are trained to fight other soldiers. most will hesitate in shooting unarmed civilians (especially their own)

we'll see what happens.

true.

but i don't think we buy that oil. i think the euros buy most of it.

so let them rescue the poor , oppressed oil.

that might just be precaution.

they always deploy like that.

just in case they have to rescue american citizens or allied countries' citizens.



i hope obama is smart enough not to get involved.

U.S. get most their oil from Canada and some from Russia.and little bit from K.S.A. Invading for oil is only rhetoric used by some Arab countries to hate on the U.S.
