I don't think we should really thank anyone. We, once again, interfered in a region that did not want our involvement and violated our own Constitution by allowing the Executive branch to wage war without Congressional approval. I am happy there is one less tyrant in the world, but I am disappointed in the methods and force used to depose him.

damn right

The downfall was largely the work of the Libyan people themselves (it's a civil war). France and the UK provided the necessary back up under NATO and the UN.The Libyan people now have the where-withall to determine their own future and good luck to them!!

and france and italy have secured their source for oil. plus when france and italy realized the rebels could not defeat gaddafi's forces they asked for U.S. help and hoped the U.S. would also foot most of the bill for the war. and under the guise of nato obama authorized the help without congressional consent. and who gets footed for the bill after all of the war mongers made their money? ah yes the united states tax payer.

Seriously, obama's foreign policy is to thank for this? No, thank NATO and the libya people for ending this horrible persons reign of terror. The Obama administration hasnt received any confirmation of his death yet. If they(obama admin) were involved as heavily as you say they were they'd have known about it by now.

Obviously a small town outside of San Antonio, Texas, doesn't get national news on their rabbit ear TVs. :smile:

For what it's worth, Libya's interim, ad hoc government has told the US (via Hilary) they intend to reimburse the USA for the 1 billion the USA spent shooting big guns pointed at Libyan pro K or G +addafi military enclaves from big ships out at sea and for our bombs and jet fuel used in air strikes.

Good of them, but I'd maybe rather they used the money towards building a stable country with a democratic government--so we don't end up back there in force any time soon.

Fine dude, but no matter how much you can't stand to give Obama credit for anything, keep in mind that Rick Perry will not even get out of the primaries and will never be president. So you get to keep him in the most do nothing gubernatorial seat in the Country.
Lucky for the rest of us.

Good to know you ASSumed im a Perry supporter when in fact I loathe the man! Sad to say he is from my native texas! He's just a typical politician with big corporate backing like everyone else in DC. RP 2012! Too bad he won't win.

Please don't tell me you're this naive and actually believe this?
