We didn't lose a single solider in Libya.  Comparing it to the Iraq quagmire is downright dishonest.

It wasn't a GD war...it was more akin to Clinton's bombing of Iraq.

It's perfectly legitimate (and possibly correct) to opposite it, but to even compare it Iraq and Afghanistan is dishonest and asinine...

You're right, to try to downplay Libya by comparing it to Iraq and Afghanistan, or any other conflict that wasn't solely unilateral, is dishonest.

I don't understand your point.  Neither Iraq, Afghanistan, nor Libya was solely unilateral.  We had broad international support (at least among NATO and "Western" countries) for Afghanistan and Libya, and much less, but still some, in Iraq.

The relevant point is that 0 Americans died for Libyan freedom (or "freedom"), while thousands of Americans died for Iraqi and Afghan "freedom."
