His son was/is 29. Plenty old enough to have joined in the manly pastime of killing infidels. As for the kids, it is horrible--if it happened. We have only their word. These are the same kinds of people who routinely hide behind civilians, plan atrocities like the Lockerbie bombing in which many children and grandchildren died. These are the people who welcomed home the supposedly dieing Lockerbie mastermind with celebrations.

Still and all, we need to quit allowing mission creep in the Libya situation.

I agree about mission creep. Guess that structure had wings like the tanks and APCs.

He was 4 years old when Berlin discotheque bombing happened, and 6 years old on the day of Lockerbie. Libya didn't do much of terrorism after that (in part because Gaddafi's interests changed.)

So unless each and every 29 years old Arab shall be exterminated on sight, we should presume that the man was innocent - until proven otherwise.

Well then, we damn well better get on it fast.

Just WHY do you think obama has just replaced Gates with Panetta?

You remember, Gates - who testified in congress when asked if we would put boots on the ground, said "Not on MY watch!."

I said: "He just signed his 'resignation letter."

And now he's out - replaced by obama's hitched at the hip pal, Panetta.

You don't want mission creep? You don't want boots on the ground?

Better get vocal fast.

And y'all better be watching the other hand.

Do I sound angry?

Damn straight. I've already lost a good family friend over there. And if he puts boots on the ground, my grandson, who grew up in my home and who has done two brutal long tours in the 'ghan, is poised to be among the first boots.

Did I say 'angry." Make the FURIOUS.
