It seems that none of the participants in this fiasco want to be held responsible. It wasn’t my idea..........

Guess the Arab League will be happy to steer OUR military

Great. We and the French and the British and God knows who else are bombing Libya, and meanwhile, all the respective governments are running away from the mission THAT THEY STARTED as fast as they possibly can, leaving our servicemen holding the bag.

Will somebody take charge of this cluster? It could even be the damn French right now, at least they’d probably retreat quickly and end it.

Putting a committee in charge insures Gadhafi’s survival.

Steering committee

mmmmmmooooooOOOOOOOOooooooooooOOOOOOOOoooooo!

There, we've just been steered by the French and Arab League.

By August they should have the table shape decided and be looking for drapes for the steering committee break room.

Gadhafi pulled back as to nukes.

Have a feeling they will be buying from Iran before you know it.

pull US armed forces out immediately if not sooner. If this is true, it is ridiculous

So, let me see if I have a grasp of the situation —

At this moment, we have American troops, with no strategic goal, no plan, and no chain-of-command oversight, pretty much indiscriminately shooting at, and being shot at by, everyone in sight??

(Six Libyan villagers shot by US team rescuing pilot. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2692844/posts )

What could possibly go wrong???

The US should just say, “Screw you guys, I’m going home.”

Since the figures that rush just received from the tanker pilots these people plan on pissing away 400,000 to 500,000 gals of fuel every 24 hours, now who do think will deliver it and pay for it.

A steering committee for a war? Perfect for the Obammunists. Amazing! Next he will appoint a commission.
