I have a friend who was supposed to be deployed to Afghanistan early next year. He was ordered to report earlier (June) for early deployment. He suspect a possible deployment to Libya.

"They're not our boots on the ground," Gates said. "We never made that commitment for anyone else." Good thing the CIA dudes are partial to sandals.

“They’re not our boots on the ground”, Gates said. He continued, “Them boots was made in Canada.”

Unless the 26MEU has been rotated back with its ARG, there are two MEUs in the Med. The 22MEU sailed 14 days ago. Also there are about 3500 troopers of the 173rd A’borne BDE in Vincenza Italy. That’s as many as 7K high quality light infantry within a day’s deployment of Libya.

He’s pulling another Bill Clinton trick.
Clinton not only fought the war against Yugoslavia on the wrong side, he expended almost all our military supplies in the process, particularly cruise missiles.
So he could say he was not spending much on his good little war. And so the Democrats could blame Bush when he had to spend a ton of money just to fill the empty supply warehouses back up.

Yep, it’s been awhile but the last count I saw on cruise missiles was a little over 120, that’s a bunch.

Doesn't keeping a conflict in a constant state of stalemate
assure that more non-combatants end up room temperature?
Typical liberal view of compassion.
If it makes you feel good about yourself the results don't matter.

I wonder, has kadaffy authorized drones (or their equivalent) in Wash DC???He doesn't have to. Everyone in DC already is a drone.

Why don't we just put an end to this fiddling around and use Libya as a chair for Mooshelle and crush them?

Soon my kids will be deployed to Libya. For what? This is madness. From an incompetent idiot. God help us, can we survive 18 more months of this?

This turkey being the CINC is a tragedy that I pray we can survive until 2013 but I sometimes wonder.
Prayers for our military, Indy!

And so it begins.
Massive mistake.
I fear Libya will become the next “Forgotten War”.

This thing can end in a moment with a single bunker buster.
In Washington.
