    It's kind of Standard Operating Procedure to slaughter rebels fighting against the state. As we would do if an armed group attacked Washington.

    If we want to execute Gadaffi, then say so. Don't lie about your intentions just so Russia will waive its UN veto.

    And you should know by now:
    "Good guy" = kisses America's ass
    "Bad guy" = won't kiss America's ass

    We've supported a bevy of nasty "good guys" throughout history. We've even overthrown governments to install them.

    This could be one hell of a motion picture in 10 years.

    Did we execute Gadaffi? Or did our support of the rebels allow the rebels to execute Gadaffi?

    But yeah - we picked a side. The side we picked won. Which part is the "morally bankrupt" part?

    Lying about your intentions to a nation possessing 8,000+ nukes, for starters.

    Creating a worse mess of a country than had you done nothing.

    When you pick a "side" of removing a government, you better make damn sure you're not making things worse for the people there.

    We don't give a shit about that. We never do.

    It got worse for Iraqis; it got worse for Libyans; it got worse for Ukrainians. See a pattern here?

    I agree. Libya was a fuckup. We did it to keep our EU allies happy. They were worried about a flood of Libyan refugees, which they got anyway.

    In BTWorld, we always let the Russians know what we're doing before we do it. It's part of "America First" - give the Russians a veto, first.

    I'm going to need a link. How do you know us preventing Kadaffi from slaughtering his people made Libya worse?

    So, if BK is confirmed will the 3/5 Compromise be enforced in future Supreme Court rulings, since he really should only count as 3/5 of a Supreme Court judge? Future votes 4.6-4? Will be issue gag orders?

    I'm sure the sitting 8 will be thrilled to have this clown as their peer. Then again, their Christmas party will probably be a lot more fun, especially if BK invites his homies from Georgetown Prep. What happens in chambers stays in chambers.
