#5 Actually, we need a picture of George W with a "Miss me yet?" caption.

Had this gone down on George's watch you could bet things would be different. The man learns from his mistakes (Paul Bremer and Iraq) and would have been more active in the new Libya.

Champ just abandoned Libya. He dropped some bombs and sent in a few Special Ops guys to teach the rebels and then he left Libya swinging in the breeze.

#6 One hopes George W. would have been clever enough to stay Libya altogether, simply continuing his original plan of removing WMD from the country. Certainly he wouldn't have surrounded himself with females whispering "Responsibility to Protect" in his ears, nor males like that either.
