Looking for an honest opinion here, not one from your I hate everything Obama drawer.
Will any US combat operations have the support of the public?
Or will it be unpopular? Seen as just one more conflict in the middle east and something Obama need not involve us with. Considering the economy, the jobs situation, Japan and how it will effect the global economy and the possibility this could lead to further uprisings in the ME resulting in more trouble for oil prices...
Think of Obama in a toga, pretending he’s Scipio Africanus....
Thanks The Magical Mischief Tour.
No, it won’t.
It’s difficult to see how anyone can support this.
But wait, it gets better — let one US pilot get shot down and be put on trial for war crimes or some shit...
Remember, this is the same Gaddafi who imprisoned those Euro-nurses, accusing them of spreading AIDS in Libya.
We're spread too thin with too few troops. We're over extended, over deployed, and grossly undermanned even to maintain a god national defense posture much less be involved in combat. That was the fought of Clinton, GW Bush, and Obama, and the Democratic and Republican sitting congress from about 1994-present.
Unless this is stopped and some serious corrections made we aren't going to have a military left to fight with. I'm not an isolationist but I see the reality of we can not maintain this pace much longer.
Adding to that we're not even sure about those opposing the Tyrant. They might even be backed by Bin Laden. Someone is sure stirring the stick in the M.E. My question about it is someone setting a snare for us to bog us down further in extended military deployments?
We're spread too thin with too few troops. We're over extended, over deployed, and grossly undermanned even to maintain a good national defense posture much less be involved in combat in several venues as we are now. That was the fault of Clinton, GW Bush, and Obama, and the Democratic and Republican sitting congress from about 1994-present. None of them have addressed the End Troop Strength issue seriously since the 1996 level we currently maintain.

The supposition is pretty much balderdash. There is no possibility......at all.
To even ask the question indicates misunderstanding
