    Well, what are you talking about? Is there any circumstance that you can envision where it would be justifiable to use limited military power?

    Of course there are circumstances where military intervention is required. Libya was not one of them. Neither was Iraq. Afghanistan was inevitable, given the location of bin Laden, however the post war situation was left to fester as their real target was Iraq.

    Bush was the icing on the cake in many respects, Obama was a continuation of bush, and shillary wants to expand on his idiocy.

    Obama deliberately allowed Isis to grow in Syria, and he also ensured that Assad could not end the civil war; shillary wants to confront Russia in Syria, both her and Obama are making ludicrous claims about Putin intervening in us elections for short term political manoeuvring.

    Qadafi was using his military and military grade weapons against his own people. FFS if that doesn't merit an intervention I don't know what does.

    Un point.

    Who they found in Pakistan.

    Obama deliberately allowed Isis to grow in Syria
    Idiotic at best.

    and he also ensured that Assad could not end the civil war
    No he didn't, Putin did.

    Not bad.

    1/4


    That's an improvement for you.
