Why sell the Chicoms some of our Military equipment? There are plenty of strategic minerals on Federal lands we could sell first.
To: Huck
Well at least this would end this disaster pretty soon.

This article is nothing but Obama-bashing, and it's unpatriotic!
Last time I looked, there were still checks in the national checkbook, so we can afford it... :-)

The cost of this operation is chump change compared to what it will cost to rebuild Libya if the US gets sucked deeper into this “No-Fly” operation. France and the UK aren’t going to pony up the $40 Billion to put Libya back together again. Even if the US manages to extricate itself from this ill conceived and executed UN sponsored mess, after it’s over and if Quadafi is gone, the Arab League is going to try and shame the US into paying for the rebuilding in Libya. The US always gets stuck with the tab.

The usuall.
More hate from the muslim world (of course after we have finished their work) and a bill to pay for everything we have destroyed there.

And what are we getting out of this?Animosity from just about the whole world.

Seems like every president has to blow stuff up at least once. It’s in the DNA of anyone with an ego that big. They just gotta wag their dick around.

As far as using the B-2 Bombers for anything, the target has to be of at least the same or greater value as the B-2 Bomber before even considering flying it outside of the US. Unless they wiped out the Gadadfly’s entire military arsenal, it wasn't worth the risk of getting downed by one lucky shot. The F-15 wasn't worth what was destroyed.

We've been feeding our income statement by bleeding our balance sheet. Our balance sheet has been puffed up with a "goodwill" account, which is rapidly deflating.

To: K-Stater
The problem with this one is, we have absolutely no vested interest in Libya. This was merely their civil war and no reason to put any of our borrowed money in it. Maybe or maybe not there is a case for or against Iraq and Afghanistan spending but in this case I can’t think of anyone that has been able to rationalize any spending for this affair.

Agreed. This military action makes no sense whatsoever. Who are we defending/protecting? Al Quiada? Who are these “rebels” and what, pray tell, do they want? Obama is insane and our country is broke.

If Al Quaeda wins, sure, let’s pay them money we don’t have.
