I have a hard time calling this terrorism in the context that the word is commonly used.

It was anounced ahead of time, it is a group of nations doing it, the group of nations voted on if to do it, the primary objective does not appear to be to instill terror.

So...
if its announced ahead of time
and its done by a "group" of nations(that voted?)(how about a group of people?, that voted)
and terror is just a by-product of the bombs and the primary objective

its not really terrorism.....

All I can say is...:palm: and :palm::palm:
 
Bravo, define terrorism and Ill let you know if I belive this is it...

The word is used in different ways in our current society, so under some definations, yes its terrorism. IN the common nomenclature of the day, Id say, no its not.

I agree Jarod...its is NOT terrorism as the word is commonly used today....
Its just not for the reasons you stated....announced ahead of time and done by a "group of nations" are irrelevant.....

Simply...Terrorism is the targeting/killing of civilians for express purpose of instilling fear and terror....
 
Now ...would you call these bombings acts of aggression against a foreign, sovereign, nation, that is no threat to the US in any way at all.....???

Article1, section 8 of the constitution states that the power to declare war is solely vested in Congress. It requires both the CIC and Congress to commit US troops to combat.

Obama's Libyan aggression is unconstitutional.
 
Technically they're acts of war, as President Obama is using conventional military attacks against conventional military targets. Remember, even JFK's blockade was an act of war, so there's nothing shocking about applying this label to the President's actions. Gadaffi just doesn't want to admit that he has made himself and his forces a legitimate military target.
 
"President Obama's unilateral choice to use U.S. military force in Libya is an affront to our Constitution. President Obama's administration has repeated the mistakes of the Clinton administration concerning bombing in Kosovo and the George W. Bush administration concerning invading Iraq by failing to request and obtain from the U.S. Congress unambiguous prior authorization to use military force against a country that has not attacked U.S. territory, the U.S. military or U.S. citizens. This is particularly ironic considering then-Senator Obama campaigned for the Democratic nomination based upon his opposition to President George W. Bush's decision to invade Iraq.

Funny now that Obama has used his war powers act Liberals, for the most part, are silent. This is NO DIFFERENT from what G.H.W. Bush did to defend Kuwait, nor is it different from what GW Bush did in Iraq. Afghanistan was really the only ligitimate use of Military power in the last Decade. It was from there that the attack was planned and directed. It was the Taliban that protected those that planned and directed the attack. Iraq was a waste of resources. Libya is probably also. It will probably result in the creation of another Islamic state of Jihadists.

but according to libs like nigeltunnelvision and dunceler....this is nothing like iraq. boots on the ground is the greatest sin according to those two libs. though to be fair, nigel is against the libya action as well as iraq, so unlike other libs, he is consistent.

someone made a good point the other day in comparing iraq and libya....with iraq, bush did have authorization from congress and he consulted with congress. obama did not consult with congress from what i've seen and he certaintly doesn't have authorization.

Do you consider what we're doing in Libya to be a unilateral action?
