I just hope that we haven't jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire. There is no telling what the new regime will be like vis-a-vis American interests. Look what happened when the Shah of Iran fell . . .

At least Gaddafi had been whipped into shape and was no longer actively pursuing terror against the US after Reagan bombed him and then he watched how fast the US dismantled Saddam Hussein . . .

:iagree:

So what do you do? Ignore him?

That always works out well.

Quite pleased he's dead at the hands of Lybians.

Wish his sons, kinsmen, and loyalists the same fate.

Then line the rest of them up in suicide bomb vests for a practice run...

Just was watching on fox news. They were all celebrating holding up their AKs and firing them in the air. Classic!

Obama may go down in history as our warrior president. Odd for someone who ran on a withdraw platform.

Im not into Twitter, but this guy is pretty funny.

A sample:

"President Obama is now only 4 drone strikes away from becoming the most lethal Nobel Peace Prize winner in history."

I'm hearing it was an air strike so he could now only be 3 away now.

The problem I see is what fills the void . Radical jihadists could very well take over and even right now who knows where Qaddafi's weapon stash has disappeared to and in who's hand's they end up.

So many problems with foreign enemies in this hemisphere that are a current and daily threat to US civilians.

That is my point exactly. Now if we (USA) were to be the beneficiaries of the Libyan oil, that could be a horse of another color. ITMT, let's encourage them to kill each other off rather than have them killin' us. Just sayin'....
