Let the frogs handle it, it'll give them some place to retreat to from Sierra Leone anyways.

Ann Coulter and Joe Scharborough put it well last night on Scharborough Country. Of course we admire US-Liberia relations and history but it seems like the US is starting to become the worlds "Mother Theresa." In fact, it seems for a while now, Washington has become the worlds 911 button. Of course helping our allies is important but how much can we do without taking care of the things we have already started?

Good grief, isn't baby-sitting Iraq and Afghanistan enough for us? Let the French have Africa. they need some more immigrants to add to their Algerian collection.

I agree with him, he should also denounce using our troops in Baghdad as targets of opportunity, sending them downtown milling with the populous is insane. My son says every day is like the movie Ground Hog day, a lot of people have had good intentions, but have no common sense. The expected out come did not happen, I know the country is swarming with special ops let them do their job and reinforce them as needed. I an troubled (a Daschileism) about this continuing loss of life.
