Bingo - too many freepers take the opposition at their word. Of course they're going to say things we want to hear. If they can persuade us that inside every Libyan is an American waiting to get out, maybe we'll jump in and win their war for them. Why risk their lives when they can get Americans to risk ours. They consider Gaddafi an infidel - the best of all possible worlds would be to get the Great Satan to fight the infidel within - that way the dead are all infidels.
