My initial response to this whole Obama/Libya debacle was to be critical of Obama for dithering while people that wanted to overthrow an enemy of America died.

But the reality is, those people that wish to take Gaddafi out are nothing more than Al Queda and Muslim Brotherhood thugs.

So at this point I'm actually rooting for Gaddafi. Sure he's an evil dictator but he's a coward and Al Queda is brave so he's less likely to do anything to us than the rebels once they're in power.

Obama's inaction is simply a case of "Even a broken clock is right twice a day".

So I say we do nothing. Going to suck for the Libyan people (but it will suck for them either way).

Honestly, it should be left up to Libya and Libya alone to sort out their problems.. It is the survival of the fittest, or in this case the more well armed. There have been civil wars fought for as long as history has been recorded. This rebellion was started w/o thought of 'who' their leader actually is.. MQ has not been known to be gentle and the rebels were without arms... Let them organize themselves and acquire arms.. eventually MQ will run out of money to fund his mercenaries.. they are only loyal as long as there is money and their prey is easy target.

The 'rebels' will not win this on their own, and in the end the US will just be arming (if that's what happens) another anti-american tribal land. Worked out well for us in the past..

As far as MQ not being able to do anything to us.. well according to defectors from his staff Lockerbie was his.. Chicken shit cowards will always fight as chicken shit cowards.. He will begin to fund the terrorist more if he remains in power, and fund them to go after whatever countries get involved. IF we get involved in yet another skirmish in a land that should be turned into a glass parking lot.. it will not end well for us. The 'people' are calling for an intervention but what will happen when American blood is spilled on their sand?

Im in the Army reserves, and I agree with most of you. Pull us the hell out of the middle east, and protect our borders. Their is a war on our home town and the government dont care. When you go to a store and cant understand the announcements, when you cant find a job after fighting for your country, when us citizens cannot go to school, when unemployment hits 9% ( we all know its higher ) when your neighbors have ten families in one apartment, something is wrong. I went to the DMV a couple days ago and they had a
Translator their for non english speaking people.
What we need to do is re claim our country. Hell with the rest.
