#1 Are the journalists at the NY Times really this stupid? Sure, an Islamist will make nice when you give him weapons and money, but your throat will still be slit open at the first convenient opportunity.

Well, what about war hero John McCain? He says he saw no sign of al-Qaeda presence among the rebels. Are you saying he's stupid?

#4 The notorious sponsor of terror attacks Gaddafi shifted to a 'U.S. Ally of Sorts' and that was a tremendous success of diplomacy(tm) wasn't it?

Forgive and forget!

On a serious note, what is it with western politicians being so eager to forgive and embrace unrepentant mortal enemies.
These are enemies who are willing to attack us again if they regain the ability.

It's the same story with the Taliban, Gaddafi, and now AQ in North Africa. Nuts!
