Our standards are higher than Fox’s. If you’re pulling civilians out of a war zone Marines are how you do it, like Operation Silver Wake in Albania. We knew days ago the U.S. was moving assets closer to Libya. Fox is getting more and more ‘E!’ journalistic. They make every Charlie Sheen sighting breaking news.
But now you have 50 FReepers who didn’t read the whole article all lathered up because they think the White House has announced that the Marines are going in to secure Tripoli (again).
Thank goodness you posted this! Everyone else has been posting like it was DU, for the US doing what it did in the Boxer Rebellion and in the Moroccan incident of 1904 (’Perdicaris Alive or Raisuli dead’). Obama is no TR, but he is what is in there.
I report, you decide.
