To be brutally honest. The men would rather die before the women have to face it.

We are, but maybe they are using up old stocks against a relatively unsophisticated mil in order to replace them with newer upgraded models? In my best Amos n' Andy voice "Well, uh, yeah! Lemme just pay for dat." "Uh, is a check okay?" "Or a T-Bill?"....[I know I gots some somewhere around here where the ink is dry already]
We have no business being involved with this at ALL. Last month, February, the Federal Deficit for just that month was $261 BILLION DOLLARS. So what you're saying is that we just need to tack on another two weeks to the fiscal year (the way it's going) and we're okay? New weapons and all that. That extra two weeks will end up adding months/years/decades to the day, IF we get there, when this mess gets paid for with real money.

Do you think the world is going to come to the rescue of Israel when the Arabs have her surrounded backed into a corner?
Oh wait, that has already happened at least 3 times already and the answer has always been no.

Are they nuts? Libya is not our problem. We have no skin in this game. Let Europe and Africa figure it out.

You have my agreement. In other news, on the main board,
Egypt's interim government has released the brother of Ayman al-Zawahiri, al Qaeda's second in command, his lawyer told CNN on Friday. This should make everyone believe they are safe ... (heavy dose of sarcasm)

-———contrary to the settled Free Republic fact ——
The fact is settled almost daily on many threads, it is settled. It was not on this thread specifically.
You have stated the obvious, probably correctly, but he will be faced with a do or die, lose, proposition. When I evaluate the possible alternative curses of action to save his butt and get a second term, war is the only choice.

And it’s my daughter’s job to see to it that fewer of our men actually have to met the enemy face to face. :~)

Well, we hope not. Were we to just allow them to be wholesale slaughtered? You have to give them a lot of credit for standing up as they have. If they were simple Islamic whackos, they would have just committed suicide bombings for years inside Tripoli...but they have not done that.

I think you are right, I’m sorry to say.
To: fabian
First of all, where is the proof of slaughters? Or is this just another “Gulf of Tonkin” lie?

Obama is a warmonger!
...wait, only Republicans such as Reagan are warmongers.
Obama is 'intelligenly and shrewdly countering Gaddafi'.
