@mashack12 49 countries, including Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, Australia and the Czech Republic...

Try to use some independent thought, rather than repeating Cenk's talking points. Also, what is your argument, the fact that other nations are involved or that other nations agree that it is acceptable?! Because more nations were involved in removing Saddam then this war, you realise..

@Intelligentparadigm The U.S. has no business along with NATO bombing a sovereign nation that did not bomb us. NATO was not set up for bombing tyrrants. NATO was not attacked. Osama Obama did NOT get congressional approval. No wonder ragheads hate the U.S.. Vote Ron Paul and bring our troops home.

@willsbanana Not the UN, the Iraq war was illegal under international law regardless of how many countries supported it, the Libya war was legal because Obama got a UN Resolution authorizing it, now do you support the rule of law or do you beleive might makes right?

More water carrying for Obama. If Bush did this the Young turks would slam him like no other. The Young Turks are nothing but apologists for Democrats. Obama;s war is illegal, unconstitutional, and is Americans killing Muslims again. HURRR it's "Nato Operation" and we're working with a "coalition".

No Shit. Liberals simply trot out some platitiudes about internationalism and all of a sudden illegal war are A-OK

Cenk Uygur, you posted this video on Mar 24, 2011. By then the ENTIRE WORLD knew already that Gaddafy never lifted a plane on Tripoli nor on Misurata. Everyone knew that only 150 civilians died (and NOT thousands). This was reported and confirmed by Amnesty International and Human Right Watch.

Either you're an ignorant fool or you're paid by the Obama administration to spread lies and misinformation.

Either way, you are a disgrace to journalism.

Cenk Uygur, I kind of liked you in the past, but now your stance with the war in Libya revealed what a disgusting piece of ignorant shit you are. By supporting the real criminals (Obama, Clinton, Sarkozy and Cameron), you're a disgrace to journalism. You are a disgusting living being. You make me throw up.

@dm1133 He made 508 promises according to polifact.com. And he's kept 137 of them (27%). 218 are still "in the works" (43%). Moreover he's made 40 compromises(8% of his promises) and 42 promises have been broken(8%)

The website works. Just write "Obama promises" to Google and click the first link and then choose "The Obameter"

[dm1133]

@TheRyder89 And how many did he make??? Also, that site doesn't work, I just tried it. So as far as I'm aware the count is still 0, unless you can provide me with some other source.

@truthout911 Osama Hussien Obama is bombing Libya killing innocent civilians. Osama Obama lied and people died! Osama Obama did not get congressional approval. Where is the socialist democrap outrage? Where is the outrage with Osama Obama and $5 per gallon of gasoline? where is the outrage of 2 yrs of 9% unemployment? Transparency? legistlation put online for all to read? focusing on the economy like a laser beam? civility? no lobbiests in his administration? so phony! he is in way over his head
