I agree that Obama is a write-off. I’m not convinced going into Libya would prove productive. We’ve seen from Iraq what the first few years of a takeover can look like. We also have Magadishu as a reference. While the populace in Libya isn’t as armed (I don’t think) and there aren’t war-lords on every block striving for control, it could still get very ugly if the people of Libya rejected our help.
If we went in, we’d have to stay for years, so that a stable government could be formed. Then the locals would probably think we had hand-picked someone, and be motivated to reject them too.
We have to remember also that these are the same people who partied in the streets every time the Gadfly did something anti-US too.
I’m not convinced sending out troops in would be a good idea.
I am amazed that folks here think it would be a good idea to insert ourselves in another muslim country.
What for? I guess it seems anti Obama so that makes shedding more blood of our soldiers for a bunch of ungrateful muslims to make a point, is a okay.
The outcome would be a total disaster.
