The money quote
...Of course our armed forces will again perform brilliantly, and Qaddafi and his repellent mafia clan will be hanging from piano wire in no time. But everyone knows weÂ’ll end up staying to pacify the country, trying in vain to reconcile one gang of cretinous barbarians with the neighboring gang of cretinous barbarians.

That brings up the question: What's in it for them? Best I can figure is an opportunity to look and act like world leaders. Doesn't quite seem like enough.

The only bright spot is that the French won't be selling us out, like they did the last two times.
