We might as well take out regime targets and encircle Tripoli with Marines (and take the oilfields under Quadaffi control).

Tripoli is the city of 2M, the majority of fighting age. If you calculate 3:1 ratio for the expeditionary forces, how many Marines do you need?

Instead of "to the shores of Tripoli" it could turn into the streets of Mogadishu.

There was a wrong intel from the get go. Read In Charge of the Light Brigade and reflect.

From the shores of Tripoli to the shores of Tripoli.

Sounds like Deja’ vu all over again.

Why are we wound up about France’s oil supply. Not our problem and not one dollar of american time or money should be spent on this.
