Memo to Marco: We can’t invade every country in the Mid East.
Maybe someone can explain to me why, if China is such a rival, the US granted it permanent MFN.
If the British, French, and the Arab League want a no fly zone, let them impose one. They have the money, the bases, and the equipment.
Why we should intervene on behalf of rebels we know nothing about in a country that sells its oil to Europe escapes me.
Rubio is right in a way!
It’s not a matter whether or not we should be involve in Libya, there are many reasons not to get involve-—it’s a matter of Obama as President opening his mouth and committed himself to Gadhafi being gone and considering options, then backing away and throwing the decision making to the U.N. and Europe, now Europe and the U.N. is bickering over what to do while Gadhafi is strengthening his hand and counter-offensive against the rebels, and now Europe is looking back at Obama and the U.S. for urgent answers where it may be too late.
Our enemies see the U.S. via Obama as weak, not able to take command of the situation, and that our words don’t mean anything. In essence our enemies are embolden.
again it’s not that I want the U.S. necessarily involved in Libya but our President should have STFU if he wasn’t going to commit himself to action.

I don’t know of anyone suggesting we invade Libya. The proposal is simply to prevent Kaddafi from using his own air force against his citizens. It seems to me this is a narrowly defined objective that need not lead to any deeper involvement. We should have done the same to stop Saddam Hussein from bombing the Kurds.
