So about Obama's idea of what is going to happen in Libya..?

So is he thinking the US is going to go in and the international community will come in afterwards to help with the setting up of a new government?

That's funny since those same countries promised assistance in Afghanistan AND they also promised Obama they would take the Gitmo detainees so that he could close it.

Why on earth would you believe they would jump in and relieve us after we take out the regime?

    Great!

    Of course ... that conflict has had unintended consequences.

    For instance - the conflict has opened the flood gates of Right Wing Hatred of our TROOPS!!

    I'm stunned and appalled at the many Righties on YA that I've read who spew hatred for the men and women in uniform who have flown missions in Libya.

    The Righties have been calling them BABY KILLERS and MURDERERS!!!!!!!!!

    I've always believed that Righties are the worst enemy of our men and women in uniform - - - but NEVER has it been so apparent as in the past two weeks!!!!

    Oh sure, they like spending MASSIVE amounts of money on MILITARY CONTRACTORS ... but Republicans have historically worked AGAINST the interest of our troops.

    I guess that's why our troops overseas supported Barack OBama SIX TO ONE over McCain.

    Hope This Helps!

    Personally, I don't think he actually believes that. Here is what I think happened. First remember that we don't get oil from Libya but the UK and France certainly do. Also remember that Ronald Reagan retaliated against Libya for the West Berlin Nightclub bombing. I think these are important factors.

    Gadaffi ran scared after the bombing raid in 1986 after Reagan showed he was fully prepared to cancel Gadaffi's ticket. But there was no chance that he would loose control of his country. I think that Europe bullied Obama into this and they all miscalculated how Gadaffi would respond. They probably thought he would once again capitulate after seeing the 120 some cruise missiles. But that is a serious miscalculation. Gadaffi has no choice. He won't give up because he has nowhere to go.

    There seems to be a lot of scrambling now to come up with a plan "B".

    Mitt and Republicans think of the POTUS might desire to be extra like a Fox information concern monger and base his speeches on unconfirmed comments and leaks. there is quite no efficient reason the yankee public desires as much as the minute status comments on the state of the learn. in case you have been the terrorist team who pulled off such an attack, what could you do the 2nd you heard the president of the united states announce to the international that the attack exchange into an prepared attack via a terrorist team? that's totally easy for the police and the militia to apply the clicking to disseminate bogus techniques.

    That's the problem,he's thinking again.

    You can't count on any country to live up to their promises,they're run by politicians.
