“If Al Queda gets a base of operation in Libya, which is largely what this “rebellion” is all about, we will rue the day we backed the rebels against Ghaddafi who assisted us in the war on terror and kept Al Queda out of the area. We will have “lost” a great deal.”
If Ghadaffi succeeds in re-establishing power he will revert to his terrorist-funding ways from the 1970s & 1980s - secretly funding anyone willing to point guns and bombs at us - if only for retaliation for our support of the “rebels”.
Ghaddaffi or the rebels; neither party will rule Libya in a manner that will be in our favor.
This was a fight we were supposed to either stay completely out of, or take over in a manner as was done in Iraq.
We have done neither. We will not own the outcome no matter what, and neither victor is going to be our friend and ally.
Get over it. It’s lose lose.
We may have to try to “isolate” Libya no matter who the victors are.
-——It’s lose lose.——
So far there has been no counter attack.
I expect a disastrous counter attack in Europe or Washington against leaders and families. That is Libyan Special Forces with RPG’s or perhaps mortars will raise hell and kill many.
The war will be among the leaders, not the people. The leaders have killed Qadaffi’s family and the counter attack will be tit for tat.
Obama is complacent. He doesn’t know what he has done. Ditto Big Brit, Big France, Big Italy
Sorry, my Country's engaged in an unconstitutional and statutorily illegal war. My Country is supporting my enemies who were responsible for 9/11. I can't, and won't, just "get over it". The weak, effete, Republican elite are pushing me closer each day to abandoning the corruption that has become the GOP.
