Allowing Kadhafi to remain in power now would be just as big a mistake as letting Saddam Hussein stay in power after Desert Storm. It would just be plain stupid. We would just have to clean this mess up sooner or later like we had to in Iraq. If the rebels hate us then we will just kill them too once they are no longer useful to us, just like we are killing them in Afghanistan and Pakistan today. We already have the CIA on the ground to make sure our own agents and assets will be the ones who take over Libya while determining which "rebels" need a bullet in the head. Our intelligence forces must be allowed to infiltrate and subvert such movements in order to make them serve our own purposes. We shall divide, conquer, and divide again.Yup, that's how it's done when we have grownups in charge.
However, Obama is our CIC and I don't trust his CIA to sort out the bad rebels. Perhaps the Brits and Sarkozy will get it right.
Yup, that's how it's done when we have grownups in charge. Unfortunately, this is more a case of the blind leading the blind. Larry (Sarkozy), Moe (Cameron) and Curly (Obama) are telling the world's dictators that the best way to stay in power is to acquire nukes and oppose the West's interests at every turn.
