They're talking about sending 500-1000 men. What kind of message does it send to the world if we send in a puny little force, without proper heavy equipment back-up, whose sole purpose is to hold the coats of the French and hand out candy bars to the kids during the occassional photo-op, and all the while al Qaeda is shipping terrorists and weapons into the country, forming up it's newest base of operations, and recruiting new members to carry out attacks on our people? Somalia redux. Except it will be even worse, since we will have the EU socialists actively collaborating with the enemy, handing out all kinds of intelligence in exchange for promises to only attack US targets.
And you know this is what's going to happen - if we go in there with any serious force, or undertake any serious ops designed to root out and destroy enemy forces, the liberals, the State Dept., the media and the UN pukes will screech and cry and rail against US "imperialism." And all the while leftist scum like Fat Teddy, the Stainmeister and Howie Dean will be gleefully waiting for the video of our guys' corpses being dragged through the streets, just in time for the election.
Going into Liberia will make the Somalia fiasco look like a model of smart operational planning.
Once the first candybar comes out, we become confused and so do the friggin natives.
