“... the inconsistencies and the hypocrisy that comes from the left never ceases to amaze.”

Dittos — for the reasons she gave in the article. I would also add that it’s ironic that the left demands full rights to civilian trials for captured terrorists — yet cheers loudly when they’re killed with no hearing whatsoever. Inconsistencies and hypocrisy, indeed.

I remember the decisive, no-nonsense, and effective way Reagan hit Libya and Qaddafi's compound with surgical air strikes, coming close to dispatching Qaddafi himself. It was many years before we heard much from Qaddafi after that.

GWBush could have learned from this instead his baseball bat approach with Iraq.

although America should be “very glad” that Libyan despot Moammar Gadhafi is dead the United States needs to be wary of who will replace him.

Bingo. Let's not go around premature celebrating like Hitlary. Remember those thousands of surface-to-air missiles that are now unaccounted for.

From the American interest point of view, Khaddafy had been behaving himself well for the last eight years or so.

From the Libyan point of view, he was an open-borders traitor to the Libyan people. His “oppressiveness” wasn’t that bad by Arab standards.

I don’t know if either the general run of Americans or the American elite will ever connect the dots...

Also ironic is that NATO is doing this. When Reagan bombed Libya, neither France nor Spain would the planes into their airspace, so they had to fly around them after they departed England, adding over 1000 miles to the trip and requiring in-flight refuelings. I don’t even want to think about the number of hours those pilots spent sitting at those controls.

“she finds it “ironic” that those on the left who condemned President Ronald Reagan for his 1986 Libyan air strikes now are lauding President Barack Obama for his contributions to Gadhafi’s demise. “

Agreed. I remember when it happened and the left went ballistic against President Reagan. But since Obama’s a Democrat, it’s OK. :?
