Sorry lady i respectfully disagree. Cain's point was that the obama administration did not properly assess who the opposition fighters were and whether they would be a liability in the future. He merely articulated that he would have assessed his support for the rebels once intelligence was determined as to who is the opposition. The fact on the ground bear him out. We have no clue who is running the show in Libya. What happened to all the weapons that kaddhafi had? Is there an Al quaeda element?
The fact that kaddhafi is gone does not make the mission a success.
See post 68 for his verbatim statement that he doesn’t KNOW what he just spent five minutes pretending he does know.
The facts on the ground (those we know or those that highest level US govt know) are beside the point. It’s just basic logic. Don’t claim to know and then admit you don’t; someone might notice!
