#1 Having played no role in the rebellion so far, al Qaeda and its affiliates will have to play catch-up...

It's impossible for any credible journalist to make such a claim. so it begs the question; Why make such a definitive statement? Oh yeah...that's right...Obama's mission was to protect innocent civilians.

#2 If Daffey is ousted or killed, I hope we are not creating a pre-911 Afghanistan in Libya--a hotbed of hatred and terrorism directed towards Israel and the West. This article makes it sound like there is a possibility for this.

#3 If Gaddafi survives as ruler of Libya, Libya will be more dangerous that pre-911 Afghanistan.

Libya is not a landlocked poor backwater but a direct neighbor of Europe, awash with oil money.

Plus Gaddafi certainly has a history of sponsoring big terror attacks on the West. The death toll of Lockerbie was small only compared to 9/11.

(Maybe not)Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
