they would not take into consideration that ground troops may have to be considered when an altercation has happened?

An altercation didn't happen. Libya is embroiled in their own civil war. Mrs. Palin was calling for us to get involved in it. And yes, once you get entangled in something like that, it's difficult to rule anything out. That's what they call mission creep. You get sucked in deeper and deeper, like a gambler trying to win back his money on a losing night.

You and I both agree that Mrs. Palin wanted us involved in Libya's war and wouldn't rule out ground troops. I strongly disagree with her entire concept of US policy towards Libya. Her position is no different than Obama's, really, except that she'd execute that policy more aggressively.

A bad policy is a bad policy, whether it's executed aggressively or otherwise. We have no business in Libya. We don't even know who we're helping.

Once we are involved then an “altercation” has happened.

I agree with you in that I don’t think we should have brought this on Libya....I don’t understand the “underground decision” behind this other than George Soros and Obama truly wanting to take down American power in this world and this is such an ignorant, dumba** decision resulting in America looking terrible in the eyes of others....but, once we are in...we are in.

We won’t go up against Iran or Syria or Egypt but we will against Libya? I don’t get it. I just don’t get it. Sarah Palin said that Bill Maher is like a mosquito zipped up in your tent....this action of Obama’s mimics that, too....we whip out our wings...send off a few bites then scurry away. What is with that?

I have to agree with you on this one. I guess we still have more money than judgement.

Someday soon . . .
