Oh, goodie! They will be entering a democracy that, thanks to Obama’s Arab Spring, will enforce the rule of law, release the hostages, and solve this whole problem. It sure is nice that we replaced the old regime and put a new group in power.

On another FR thread, it looks like there was a raid in an attempt to free the hostages, and some hostages escaped but most hostages were killed.

We have a gov’t FULL of prolific liars. Is it too much to ask that occasionally they lie FOR us vs. lying TO us?

The phrase “safe passage” can be interpreted different ways & says nothing about what happens when they get to Libya. The words “safe” & “passage” have many meanings in English, a complicated language. Could misinterpretation & misunderstanding benefit the good guys for a change?

These kinds of things happen when you have a naive moron who proves affirmative action promotion is a recipe for disaster, usurping the oval office and an amateur, whose primary qualification was that she may have once slept with Bubba, running the State dept.

They couldn’t just walk across the border?
