China’s response to the allied campaign has been the most forceful, with warnings that the assault could bring about a “humanitarian disaster.” In a regular news briefing on Tuesday, Jiang Yu, a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, called for an end to hostilities. “We’ve seen reports that the use of armed force is causing civilian casualties, and we oppose the wanton use of armed force leading to more civilian casualties,” she said.

Hey, come on...even Achmedinejad says Kadaffi is crazy and his use of violence against his own people is unacceptable...and that guy KNOWS crazy!

You have to keep in mind that all these reports quote Libyan government officials - all of whom have a vested interest in portraying the rebels and any intervention in the most unflattering and unsympathetic way possible. Not to say that civillians might not be harmed, but that numbers can be exaggerated, etc.

I don’t see how anyone could possibly entertain the idea that president Obama should be tried for war crimes when what he is doing is not considered warfare. How do we know, because he said so. Good enough for me.

Further, did you not hear what team Obama member deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said while aboard Air Force One, the US is not engaged in war but simply “kinetic military action”. Now y ou have to love Ben, not just a looker but one hell of a tap-dancer.

So what is “kinetic military action”, it is simply military movement, albeit quite violent. It is the military doing what they do best; blowing stuff up and killing people, but remember it’s not war it’s a police action err I mean kinetic military action, kind of a reflex action from the very bowels of the military.

Yes that’s it; it’s BULLSHIT err a military bowel movement!

But what about all the dead innocent civilians? Well, during any bowel movement, shit just happens.

So there you have it folks. Obama did not get us into a third war, no no, the military is not involved in warfare on his orders, no no, the military is involved in “kinetic military action”, a bowel movement; albeit an expensive bowel movement with very deadly results, but at least it's not war.

So Please stop picking on our president, you hate mongering raciest neocons.

FYI Nobel prizes are irrevocable.

As one of my military friends said just before this "kinetic military action" began, "these countries are very good at doing thing like putting air defense radars on top of orphanages. What happens when we take one out?" Anybody with some knowledge of military affairs can tell you the idea of "surgical strikes" is absurd.
