What are we doing in Libya?
So I've watched as little cable news as possible since we invaded Libya. It's all lies and cover ups to some degree. The internet is the place to get news. I go to the Huffington Post for my left-leaning news and The Drudge Report for my right wing concepts. Infowars works as the alternate source. Sometimes it'll touch on things the mainstream media avoids, sometime it misses and sounds too crazy. Even for me. We're obviously in Libya for the oil as opposed to "protecting civilians," dropping bombs doesn't protect anyone. The interesting thing behind the propeganda proliferating out of the Obama Administration is that, unlike the Iraq War, it wasn't pre-meditated. Bush tried to sell the country on a war in Iraq from December 2002 until finally lying us into it in March 2003. 8 years to the day before we invade Libya. Funny coincidence but merely a footnote of atrocity in the future's history. Obama didn't spend months convincing us to invade a sovereign nation like Bush because Libyan citizens caused the unrest. Those same citizens will now be considered collateral damage and probably won't even be reported on the mainstream media because the "precision" bombs don't miss their targets. But that's what they told us about Iraq. They also said we wouldn't be sending in ground troops in Shock and Awe. 8 years later we still have ground troops there, but since they aren't conducting missions they don't count and don't get media coverage. And probably don't get proper health benefits. What's the over/under on when ground troops invade Libya? I'll say 1 month. Who wants that bet?
