Why Libya? I don't think it's for oil or humanitarian reasons
   
at least not largely. Gadaffi (or however you spell his name) was/is more than willing to play. Other countries in the region (Bahrain, for one) are cracking down on their own citizens.

I think it's for a reason that sounds a bit ridiculous: Gadaffi (or however you spell his name) has been pissing off the west and quite a few nations in his own neighborhood for decades.

Why a buick? Its comfy seats and large living space?

Shut up Cali. If this was anybody with an R next to their name you would be bitching it was for oil.  :whatever:

I'll tell you why Libya--it's because Obama has subscribed to the "Bush Doctrine." :tongue: :fuelfire:

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Bingo!....you don't think that the Muslim Brotherhood doesn't have any jihadists in among the "rebels"?

Will history judge Obama as the person that lost any chance of peace in the Middle East? Because when North Africa falls, The Med becomes an Islamist lake and forget any chances of the Suez Canal being any type of international water way.

Some times it is better to deal with the devil you know rather than the devil you don't know.(See Jimmy
Carter and his handling the Shah of Iran versus Khomeini.)

But, caliphate is happy fun times, just ask the assperts at DUmmyland.
It's those evil Christians who go to the voting booth in NOV who are destroying the planet.
