Rubio tweets bloodied Gaddafi photo as he calls for Maduro to step down in Venezuela

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio shared an image Sunday showing a bloodied Muammar Gaddafi, the former authoritarian leader of Libya, in the moments before he was killed — drawing criticism from some who read the Florida lawmaker’s message as one of support for United States-led regime change in Venezuela. Rubio’s tweet had no text. It simply contrasted one picture of the authoritarian Libyan leader smiling in a white jacket and sunglasses, alongside another image...

Not sure what msg Rubio is trying to convey, but I feel strongly we need to stay out of this and let SA handle their own neighbor. Comments, yea, nay?

Are Danny Glover and Sean Penn flying down to Venezuela along with Bernie Sanders to stand alongside Maduro as he denies food and medication to the people of Venezuela?

Um, the message was that we killed Qaddafi after he was much more malleable and as usual something Far Worse took his place?

NEVER said he was a good guy.

What took over was worse.

We’re only 22 trillion in debt and only have 100,000 brain injured war vets who need as much help as we can give them, many for life.

Of course we should not get involved with boots.

Air support for the opposition?

If they are for democracy I think air support is an option.

But I don’t know a lot bout alliances there and what this country’s air force is like and what other countries would join against us in the air so I could be very wrong.

Not that we wouldn’t handily defeat them, but I don’t want to be drawn into a foot war.

Minds far better than mine will know the answers to this one better.

Thanks blueplum. Maduro's the biggest loser in the western hemisphere (yes, even worse than Jeb and Mitt) -- he inherited a plum job from his predecessor, basically unlimited cash, but was entirely under the guidance of a couple of foreign terrorist states (Iran and Russia) which have no interest in his ability to hold on to the job on his own. So he can't, and now he won't. He's followed the advice, "be fruitful and multiply", just not in those words.

Yep. Obama and hillary attacked and overthrew a government that wasn’t a threat to anyone. There was absolutely no reason for us to attack Libya.

Those two names. Two of the biggest fusterclucks to ever gain power in the US government.

They give evil a bad name.

They are not Hitlers because our founders drew up a great plan to avoid Hitlers.

If they DID have complete power many of us here would be dead and the others would be freedom fighters.
