And if you go back and look at the videos and the documentation, people like Usama bin Laden talk about the fact that they concluded that the United States was a paper tiger

So true! I think Barack Obama actually thought Gadaffi was going to do exactly what the President of Egypt did. Just step down. Obama got so much of an ego trip by seeing Israel's only friend in the neighborhood President Mubarak step down at the mere sound of his voice that Obama got cocky and thought Gadaffi would do the same.

A shame we have a President who probably never even knew who Gadaffi was until he became President.

A country that is the biggest industrial power in the world and spends more money on defense than all its allies and adversaries put together is never weak, even under someone like Obama. No one with an IQ above room temperature could ever see the US as weak. The drooling retards bin Laden and Mullah Omar perceived - in a fit of Koran-induced hallucinations - both American and Russian military weakness, deciding that the US was the Byzantine Empire and the Russians were the Persian Empire, both of which - in antiquity - had fought wars over centuries that had exhausted both empires from a manpower and financial perspective, paving the way for Islamic conquest. What these Koranic idiots savant don't seem to have noticed is that the US has never actually fought a war against Russia. This is why the period after WWII (and before the fall of the Berlin Wall) was called the Cold War. We got through the Cold War with manpower and weaponry intact. Whatever bin Laden's fantasies used to be, he now knows - tens of thousands of dead al Qaeda later - that Uncle Sam can pack a punch, even under a Community Organizer like Obama, not because Obama is any great shakes, but because we spend more money on defense than all of the other countries on Earth put together. A country like Israel needs to demonstrate a willingness to fight. We don't.

Personally speaking, I feel sorry for the children...they can’t chose their parents or idiotic cultures. That being said, I think the problem is for the Libyans and I don’t think it was necessary or wise to get involved.
