This could be at least partially true, but it is still no excuse for allowing Kadaffy to remain in control of Libya. He needs to go, and if we don’t remove him nobody will.

Yes, remove someone who’s been historically very susceptible to behavior modification through the various odd threat or two. Replace him with a bunch of Muslim Brotherhood fanatics who’ll provide yet another free home base for jihadists. Yes, that sounds like a real plan.
