    Trump suggests U.S. should bomb Libya

    Donald Trump on Friday suggested that the United States should bomb ISIS in Libya, a decision that would mark a serious escalation of the U.S. military campaign against the terrorist group. It's also a new position for Trump, who has argued both in favor of and against military intervention in Libya over the past five years.
    "ISIS has the oil. And then you say if ISIS has the oil, why aren't we blockading so they can't sell it? Why aren't we bombing the hell out of --" Trump said, stopping short as he pivoted to slamming President Barack Obama as "grossly incompetent."

    So much for being a none interventionist.

    “I don’t think that there will be any curtailing of Donald Trump as president,” he said. "He controls the media, he controls the sentiment [and] he controls everybody. He’s the one who will resort to executive orders more so than [President] Obama ever used them." - Ron Paul

    Well if they have oil, then invading them only makes sense
    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    Oil is the reason we are in the ME in the first place. It's the reason we try to make Iran the enemy, when it has complied with international law and Israel has not.

    We have plenty of oil outside of the ME, and we can do business there for oil. I think the military meddling has more to do with weaking any possible threat to Israel and the dollar.

    Ever read about the 1953 Brit and US coup in Iran to depose the democratically elected PM, because he wanted to give the country's oil back to the people instead of Big Oil owning it.

    Fair point. But supporting Saddam when he was weakening himself and Iran, then later attacking him, I think our policy was to see no military power able to challenge Israel. Even Ron Paul supported Israel's attack on Iraq's nuclear power plant the '80s.

    I agree with you're POV on the policy; I don't agree with support for Israel who did not conform to the NPT, even if it's RP.

    Actually, it's the neocons and western powers that want to bomb Libya. I think Trump would be satisfied with letting Russia knock the crap out of ISIS and its western supply lines all the way back to the nations supplying ISIS. Hillary would definitely bomb Libya for the purpose of ousting Assad.

    Good thing that we have better information to go off of other than.

    I wonder if Ron Paul has changed his mind about that attack.

    Its hard to believe that ISIS grew from Al Qaeda in Iraq to the monster it is today thanks to American bombing and Trump wants to bomb them more. Its worked so well for the group thus far.
