#1 In a note issued yesterday, the US State Dept said "WTF are you doing in Libya, moron? Even us civil servant types have this one figured out."

#3 So Bush put boots on the ground to get rid of Hussein and Champ sends a couple of F-14s and a platoon of laser painters into Libya.

Both countries descend into chaos and Bush didn't have a plan?

If we do anything in Libya of a rational nature...which actually the time has passed for such behavior, we would be inserting ourselves into a nascent civil war as the punching bag and boogie man for both sides...such action would be taken ONLY to save the election for the Dems.

A few troops in Tripoli and a few troops in Benghazi right after Qaddafi the Duck was killed would have done much to get Libya off on the right foot. The people are hungry for a rational government.

But what do you expect with an administration whose expert on the middle east is slow joe and next is Lurch?

#4 The question then becomes what in the hell were Sarkozy, Cameron and Obama thinking when they deposed Qadaffi?
