Good. Now, on to Tripoli and hang that SOB.

Great. And then....?

[elhombrelibre]

For them of for us?

[ScottinVA]

Let’s start with.. for us? The benefit to the U.S. of knocking off Gaddafi — especially as the fog begins to clear on the radicalism of the rebel movement — is...what?

[dfwgator]

make you see all of his enemies as al Qaeda.

No, not necessarily, but then again, not all of the enemies of the Czar were Bolsheviks.

[elhombrelibre]

Justice for the victims killed on Pan Am Flight 103 would be a start.

[dfwgator]

We’ve already let Gadhafi off the hook for that, you can’t just turn around and say “Nah, we’ve changed our mind.” It would be like bombing Japan again for Pearl Harbor.

[elhombrelibre]

Yes, I know. But Gaddafy is using that argument the same way Hitler tried to say he was a good alternative to the Bolsheviks.

[elhombrelibre]

I never let him off the hook. I’ve been asked for my opinion. I say he should swing from a rope. Others can give him a pass on the mass murder of Americans. I’m not.

[dfwgator]

I never let him off the hook.

Take it up with W.

[ScottinVA]

Right.. but how is that justice served.. for them or the victims of 9-11 by our ushering in an al-Qaeda-friendly regime there?

[elhombrelibre]

You’re certain of that. I’m not.

[2harddrive]

We could be in Obama’s LIE-BYA for years to come!

[ScottinVA]

You're not?

I guess the news reports about infiltration by al-Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood and the fact one of the rebel commanders fought for al-Qaeda vs the American forces in Afghanistan haven't caught your attention. If all that doesn't give you pause, I guess nothing will.
