Great. On the one hand, it might well be that the Libyan “government,” whatever that is, was involved in the murder of a US ambassador. That would be an act of war. On the other hand, the US has absolutely nothing to gain from going to war with Libya. So hit them with a missile or two, and hope there will be no further consequences. Like jumping off a cliff and hoping there’s a big pile of hay at the bottom, but then again, supporting the Islamist revolution in Libya was no different. Note to the President/State/international yoyos: Stop jumping off cliffs. Hay is not always at the bottom, in fact it almost never is.
The only other thing I can figure is that they somehow stumbled on to some actionable intelligence that the Tripoli embassy was going to be attacked in the next few days, and they decided to bug out.
Another embassy attack now wouldn’t be just another bump in the road for the Won.
If we attack Libya, The Disaster will be facing $5 gasoline across the nation not just in Chicago. That alone will sink him and any claim of recovery.
He damned if he do and damned if he don’t.
