Consignment

Many US congressmen are upset that tax dollars are being spent on the missiles that are being fired in Libya. I guess the weapon manufacturers are selling bombs and missiles on consignment. We only pay for them after we use it. How can someone speak such nonsense every day and have people who believe it.

We do not want to use tax payer dollars on this war!!!!!!

Hello...all the bombs, missiles, jets, ships, and weapons are already paid for. Whether the US fires them or not, they have already been bought. Sadly enough, there are those who really believe this nonsense. Also, whether we are at war or not, the members of the armed forces get paid and the ships use fuel.

What if the US did not join the humanitarian mission and thousands were slaughtered? I could just hear them now...President Obama is soft and needs to get tougher. How could he sit by while innocent citizens are being killed. So, it didn't matter what he did. There will always be those who will say black when he says white.

I'm as anti-violence and anti-war as the next person, but I understand why this country does what it does at times. When the US does it with the consent and partnership of the UN, that's a far cry from the missions of the past.
