Thomas Ricks ripped President Bush and Donald Rumsfeld for years over Afghanistan and Iraq. Now he wants us to wage war on Libya. Incredible.

No matter which side we choose to provide arms to, those same weapons will someday be used against Israel or even us.

Isn't it interesting how those anti-war zealots suddenly become pro-war when one of their own is in the White House? I'm for sitting this one out. We gain nothing by killing Gaddafi, and lose nothing by letting him kill rebels. It isn't our fight.

Amen. Gadaffi’s an SOB, but his ouster would likely lead to an islamist state there. Neither option is a good one. We should just stay the hell out of this one.

Why not let Obummer meet with Ghadafi “any where at any time without a preconceived agenda” as he claimed he would do with any leader dozens of times when he was campaigning.

>Using Special Operations troops to corner and then capture or (if he insists) kill Col. Qaddafi.
LOL Yes, thats it! Create millions of new terrorists in a second!
These fools act like Mo has no domestic support.
That is simply brain dead - and wrong.
He has plenty of support.

Let Libya wither on the vine and go for Saudi Arabia.
To: ScottinVA
Agree completely. Two no-win wars are more than enough for me, thanks very kindly.
To: kristinn
How about Ricks going over there and doing it himself.
To: kristinn
Invading Libya seems to me a project best left to the private sector.
To: kristinn
I guess the “Save Libya” bumpersticker will fit right underneath the “Save Darfur” and the “Free Tibet” bumperstickers.

Here's our hero, Tommy 'Commando-Ass' Ricks in the flesh.

I totally agree. No more boots on the ground in the Middle East. Our kids are precious to us, not them.

Tell dumb-ass Thomas Ricks to get his army together and take off, but remind him a true leader leads from the front.
lots of luck Thomas, take several body bags.
To: RC2
Why not send our home-grown muslims to clean up the ME mess?
