Jeez, guys- has everyone forgotten that Quadaffi personally ordered the murders of hundreds of Americans at Lockerbie?

My main problem with Obama’s handling of this is that he seems to be acting in his typically pansy and politically calculating way- using missiles so no there’s no political risk of our losing pilots.

I have no problem at all with stopping a known terrorist using military means.

I haven't forgotten. My point is, if a Republican president was doing this, the LibDems would be going absolutely apeshirt and foaming at the mouth in opposition. Team Obama acquiesced to an early release of the Lockerbie bomber, without so much as a whimper.

Me either but who is going to replace him?

My understanding is the rebels are al queda probably backed by Iran.

How is there a winner here and what is victory?

W e need to stay the hell away from this, it's going to escalate into hell.
