We should give McCain his own plane, and tell him to have at it. In addition to flying it himself, he can also use his own money for the fuel, maintenance, and he can arm it up too.
John: Step 1, sit down. Step 2, shut up. Step 3, think before you next open your mouth. Step 4, After thinking, shut up anyway.
Only if it meant the Congress debating a Declaration of War over the Pan Am bombing (which it should have done in the first place).
Absent that Juan, sit down and STFU you liberal RINO.
IF we weren’t tied down with two major theater war efforts..
IF we had a clear line of influence on who would take over, post-Gaddafi..
IF we were willing to commit fully to a favorable outcome..
Then, maybe so. But those conditions don’t exist, so NO!
I’ve been torn on this one from the start. I despise Gaddafi, but he’s the known entity in a very volatile place. We know how to keep him contained.
If he’s overthrown, however... the possibility of a hardline, Iranian-style regime coming to power there is very real.
In a turbulent world, with a horrendously weak “leader” in the WH, with too much American firepower tied down in other regions, the (very unfortunate, but) “best” bet is leaving Gaddafi where he is.
When Al Qaeda is calling for Qadaffi’s overthrow, look out.
