Exactly. Reagan and Bush Sr. pretty well neutered Gaddafi, and W persuaded him to give up his ties to Muslim terrorism and turn in his nukes. Since then, he has pretty much spit on the Arabs and has been playing a pan-African game instead.
What Obama has succeeded in doing is to show such weakness that Gaddafi is now doing a bit of Islamist celebrating, and our former ally the UK is trading terrorists for oil.
What good would it do to pull our ambassador from Libya or stage another fight with Brown? Let the Brits handle that matter. But the obvious thing is that Obama’s foolish behavior is causing other nations—including our allies, to disrespect us.
Hopefully, Gaddafi will stop there, and not get back into the terrorist revolutionary business. And hopefully the Brits and Scots will take care of their own scuzzy politicians.
I hate these people so much.
