| #7 we should care enough to win but only if we have a clear idea of what 'winning' amounts to. At this time, it appears all possible outcomes in Libya are losing ones for the West. |

| #6 Cure what? Vulgarity or run on sentences? But his logic hits the nail on the head. You cannot ultimately prevail in a military conflict without boots on the ground. NFZ alone is little more than high tech terrorism as far as I am concerned. Respect for us on the Arab street was never higher than after we thrashed Saddam in a straight up fight. That's why Daffy dumped his nukes; he didn't want done to him what we did to Saddam. But he's no longer worried about that treatment after he saw what we did to Bush and the zero we replaced him with. If we care enough to inflict collateral damage. we should care enough to win. |

| #5 "I kind of like both of Dribble's sinktrapped rants this morning." There are probably pills to cure that, Glenmore. ;-p |

| #2 How would you like to be an American soldier or Marine being sent into Libya with a lot of French "guidelines"? And maybe John Kerry to help you with your gear? And not a EUroweenie soldier or Arab soldier in sight? Do the French actually HAVE a military? And which Moslem country is capable (or even in existence) to provide so much as a camouflage jock strap for the cause? Get real, the Libyans are going to have to do the fighting and the entire West (including Barack Hussein) are feckless. IF the Libyans cant clean their own house themselves let's just make some money off of them and sell them some guns in exchange for future Oil deals. Let Libya be divided up into competing fiefdoms of Moslem cannibals and set them on one another indefinitely. Peace and brotherly love is a waste of time in Moslem countries. Take a look at the Prophet(PBUH) if you really want to see a Moslem being a Moslem. Sixteen wives and a political buggerall with a BS religion humping to stack on the Jihad. And the entire Middle East is covered with garlic and grease. NONE of them are your friends. We actually have the French for "allies" and the shortest list in the world is a EUropean roster of war heroes. The US deserves Obama and when you look deep into Nancy Pelosi's eyes you see the promise of things to come. If you have any other questions Obam's mother was a real multi-cultural peach,so invite her over and have YOUR kids sit in her lap. |
