” A retired Army general, James Dubick, wrote Thursday in a war commentary that a necessary next step is to place NATO combat air controllers on the ground — to include Americans — to precisely direct air power. Trainers also are needed, he wrote.”

Let’s see, who was it who was screaming about our sending Americans to Viet Nam? Hmmm...ah yes, the DEMOCRATS. Now they want to send our men and women troops to help the Muslim Brotherhood. Where’s Jane Fonda now?

Obama’s acting as though he solved the problem by getting NATO into the fight is pathetic. NATO IS America. NATO IS our young men and women.

The only tangible thing that we are going to gain from this mess is that the EU will secure its energy interests in Libya. That’s it, period.

We are spending US blood & treasure to help Italy, France & Germany with their fuel supply.

We don’t even need to defeat Khaddafi to do this. What we need to do is keep him & his forces bottled up and away from the oil fields. A costly & messy victory that will need constant policing until Khaddafi’s people decide to “do him”.
