BCR posted:You don't see Obama appointing his entire family to be heads of the Army, Police, different ministrys, and using the secret police to remove anyone who protests. No, just major political donors who have no diplomatic credentials get cushy ambassadorial posts like Luxembourg.

Oppressed peoples of the world are figuring out that there are MORE of them than ANY autocrat can hire of soldiers or gestapo. These are people making the choice to live and die on their feet rather than just scrape by existing, on their knees. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Lascivious Sloth posted:I recall he did a complete 180 in his views a few days before Mubarak stepped down, but I can't cite exactly. All I remember is that he made some comments that were ridiculously counter to his initial stance, and completely retarded in reasoning. Yeah - McCain's famous for his 20/20 hindsight. Why, just two years ago, he stood adamantly on the position that Generalissimo Francisco Franco should relinquish power in Spain.

Intel5 posted:I'm just ranting here, but we spend billions on the latest and greatest military toys, and now we have a veritable carte blanche of international opinion to use them to save lives, and our president is standing around holding his dick. We could have air superiority over Libya within hours, it may do fuckall for stuff that's happening on the ground, but they wouldn't be able to drop bombs on their own people anymore. "Muamar, don't take this the wrong way. We've been sorta friends kinda for a while now, and we're watching the way you're responding to this and... well, we felt it necessary to intervene. We're afraid you're gonna really hurt someone. We're afraid you'll hurt YOURSELF..."

Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:I get the feeling there is no plan, only horror and blood. Dictators are used to putting down uprisings, but not of this scale. Right now it's just a bloody civil war that will only end with Ghaddafi dead. Worldwide, there are more of Us than there are of Them. The fact that people everywhere are realizing (in many senses of the word) this is very encouraging. I haven't had this much general optimism in years.

The Brown Menace posted:That monk in Vietnam seemed pretty cool with being on fire. He was a special case. Years of training went into attaining that kind of poise. If you ever ARE in such a situation and want/need to go through with it (DO NOT SET YOURSELF ON FIRE, STUPID, THIS IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY), once your head is fully aflame, you may not feel any pain immediately due to shock, the amount of time it takes for the heat to begin to activate the nerve endings, AND a time-dilation effect prior to the OH poo poo moment of, "I'm on loving FIRE." THAT is the time to INHALE DEEPLY. Get the fire directly onto the lung tissue. You should go into immediate respiratory arrest, pass out quickly and die with little pain. That's the thinking on immolation.

XCPuff posted:Wonder how many more will be dead by the time Clinton travels to Geneva on Monday. Glad to see we're really on the ball with all of this. Unless we have real targets for a military strike, there's logistically little to nothing we can do as an intervenor. We're not exactly HELPING the people of Iraq and Afghanistan and we've been TRYING for the better part of a DECADE.

ukle posted:The Libyans only have really old tanks (well and a few T72's which are not as easy a push over) so relativity minor weaponry could be enough to take them out (IED's, RPG's). You can cook the drivers, gunners and THE AMMO in a tank if you coat it in oil and gasoline and set it aflame (Mr. Molotov, TO THE RESCUE!) Roll those bitches down any street in Tripoli - the people can drop glass bottles on them from the 2nd story and run. Edit: Too bad muslim culture isn't big on wine-drinking. Those gallon jugs would be perfect. Edit2: We really need an efficacy study of the Molotov cocktail components: Oil or Soap? Gasoline or Alcohol?

redscare posted:I wonder if this will have any impact on the mercs. They can't be willing to see this one out to the bitter end either way, but nothing makes mercs bail faster than the lack of money. Or the threat of the money drying up. Or a RUMOR of the money drying up. Spread that rumor, folks. It could save lives.
