Obama's speech on the Libyan conflict vs. the facts

Also the bombing you're referring too happened the following night after this plane was seen pissing all over the regulation we put on it.

Uh what troops? You consider a missile launch, troops?

The no fly zone and military action to enforce it is essentially an embargo, not a war. We are not engaged in offensive actions to capture and hold Libyan territory or to directly destroy their government. The UN has called on member states to protect civilians from a regime run amok. If this were war we would actually track and target Col Qaddaffi himself instead of just hitting a single building in his compound. It is a subtle distinction between this embargo like action and war, but a distinction none the less.

Wrong, the bombing I am refering to has been going on right from the start since the U.S. began its involvment. Even Obama stated that we were bombing their air bases.

What troops are entering Libyan air space? How about the 2 F-15 fighters that "crased due to malfunction" in Libya. I suppose those are missles too huh? As a side note, I dont by the party line of "malfunction". In all the accidents involving F-15's only 1 has been due to malfunction and now suddenly there are two in the same day, I dont think so.

If we were not bombing or shooting missles at libyan forces then yes your embargo would stand up. However, that said, we are bombing their bases and equipment (with military forces operating said equipment i.e. tanks and such) and that makes it an act of war not an embargo. If you need more clairification on what an embargo is I will be glad to provide it. At the moment the only reason we have not hit his compound is because of his civilian supporters being there. If we hit that then it would create a major issue around the world against the U.S. and this action would be completely invalidated on an international level.

I find it quite funny how we are attacking Libya when at most there were only several thousand protesters, while places like Yemen and Syria go unnoticed. Yemen has several hundred protesters and syria is killing its protesters and we say nothing to them, but we go after the guy who was responding to an apparent civil war. Just doesnt add up if you ask me.
