One other thing about our involvement in Libya. We are out now

Wow, that's the first I've heard of it. It has been turned over to NATO, but the last time I looked probably 90% of the actual fighting force of NATO (the guys who are on the front lines) are US Servicemen and women. The only difference is that they are now taking orders from a Canadian.

We will be in Libya when I die of old age. We will be in Afghanistan for another decade. We should have gone in there in 2001 and kicked their butts and got out. Then we should have gone back in 2003 and kicked their butts and got out. Then we might have had to return in 2005 and kick their butts and got out. This nation building idea of Bush's was nuts.

Again, when the Military ordered the burning of the bibles, America lost its mission. From that point forward we have been treading water and protecting an Islamic regime that is destined to fall and be replaced by an even more repressive Islamic regime.

It's long past time we left there and let these Islamic tribal goons kill each other off. If they don't have American Troops to kill, they will be more than happy to use their bullets on their fellow countrymen. Historically when Muslims run out of Jews and Christians to kill, they invariably turn their swords on each other.

Uh, from everything I've read all American planes pulled out of this Sunday night. It is mostly the Brits and Frances show right now. That's why there's stories out there that NATO can't support this mission. Which is expected and a joke. I don't doubt that we get in again, but from everything I've read, we are not involved right now. Other than most likely CIA personnel on the ground which we'll never know about for sure.
