After the UN vote the other day (Thursday) to authorize a NATO war on Lybia, this Saturday morning we saw the specter of Operation Odyssey Dawn.
United Nations Security Council Thursday night approved a resolution that paves the way for the United States and others to conduct a direct military intervention in Libya under the pretense of a “humanitarian” mission to protect civilian lives.
Then this morning, while Americans were still sleeping off the Saint Patricks day drinking, an undetermined Fighter Plane was shot down. Later Obama spoke, then Hillery Clinton spoke, and Odyssey Dawn launched 110 U.S. tomahawk missiles into communications bases and strategic locations in Lybia. It cost 62 million dollars, and killed or wounded a reported 200 people.
Heavy gunfire and mass explosions. Then the U.K joined in the war lust and launched their own air strikes. Every city on the Libyan coast was assaulted. Libyans have been successful at shooting down a few planes.
