Muammar Qaddafi's forces are making airstrikes more difficult by staging military forces and vehicles near civilian areas such as schools and mosques.

I can see the schools as being an issue but not the toilets mosques.

From what I have seen, the rebels would make the Keystone Kops look organized and our military would certainly help rectify the situation, but Not No but Hell No to our putting boots on the ground. Sadly, they are probably already there. OIF vet

I guess that’s why Hillary was out yesterday saying air strikes wouldn’t be enough.

I say we invade New Zealand..Or maybe Argentina... Just for the hell of it. Bomb them for a few weeks, then we’ll send in troops and news crews.

We’ll call it, “Operation why not!”

Another invasion, but without a budget?

Using an unpaid military to invade a random country for no clear reason, without any public debate, all the while maintaining approval from half the country, is probably a great summary of the Obama administration.
