Here we go again

The United Nations Security Council authorized military strikes on Libya Thursday evening, and U.S. and European officials said air attacks against Col. Moammar Gadhafi's forces were possible "within hours."
The Pentagon was already fine-tuning military options for "serious" strikes against ground and air targets should the White House order them, said U.S. defense officials.
Options included using cruise missiles to take out fixed Libyan military sites and air-defense systems, according to these officials. Manned and unmanned aircraft could also be used against Col. Gadhafi's tanks, personnel carriers and infantry positions, with sorties being flown out of U.S. and North Atlantic Treaty Organization bases in the southern Mediterranean.
"There is significant, serious planning going on right now," a U.S. official said. The options would be "more aggressive than a show of force."

I'm not against the UN imposing a no fly zone over Lybia.........but, do France, Italy, UK, Russia, Canada, Spain all have planes to enforce this no fly zone????? As we are in Afganistan under UN sanction should'nt one battle front be assinged to each UN member. We can help with information, planning and tranning.

More deficit spending.

The headlines are highlighting the tax burden on the middle class. They are carrying the weight if the debt and that the wealthiest americans are paying less of a share than in the past 50+ years.

We all clammored for this War on Terror. But no one wants to make any sacrafice to win it. No draft, No war bonds, No tax to pay for it, No gas rationing, No food rationing, No scrap drives, No inconvenience. Lower taxes durring a time of war=not good outcome of war.

If this were WWII 1/8 of use would be speaking Japanes, 1/8 of us would be speaking German and the rest of us would not be here.
