#1 I don't think it would happen, but a move worthy of Rove would be to put the Special Forces in a base in Libya. In a central location with few to no western eyes looking for American troop movements. Libya is not populated with Arabs, but descendents of Mediterranean peoples. The Arabs and the Libyans hate each other. It would be a nice poke in the Arabs eye while hiding some of what we are really doing behind the curtains.

#2 US Troops in Libya? Lol. Sure, why not? Given that he demanded we remove our troops and that little assassination tiff thingy with Khadaddy,
Abdullah would slow-burn for a decade, lol! Sweet. Might even hasten the end of the Sham Relationship. Time to turn over a few rocks, shake the palms, and bounce the rubble. Freakin' fine by me.

#4 IIRC, about the time Kadaffy gave up his nukes, (dec '03?) there was some discussion here at the 'burg about Wheelus AFB in Libya...

I wonder if this place is going to wind up like Scrappleface and start predictiong the future while attempting to be funny.
