Republicans are scared to death Obama will succeed in Libya.

I don't think Wookies have a religion.

   C'mon; calling the First Yeti a 'Wookie' is demeaning and insulting.  To wookies everywhere.

Khadafi posed NO threat to the US or our interests.  Our bombing of their country is illegal. 

You know, sir, in what is an unusual quirk for me, I agree.

I've always been the first person to insist that liberating the oppressed is America's destiny, having been heavily influenced at an impressionable age (sort of; they were a little before my time) by Henry R. Luce and John Kennedy.

".....to bear any burden, to pay any price, so that others may enjoying the blessings of freedom and liberty....."

One of those Kennedy quotes the primitives seem to never remember.

Essentially, it is our job to liberate the oppressed.

But Libya's something else, for three reasons.  It's a small country, pretty inconsequential on the world stage, pretty inconsequential even among its neighbors.  It's true the madman Khadaffi has oppressed, but on a scale laughably trivial when compared with Cuba or North Korea or Red China or Vietnam or Rhodesia or Iran or any of these other socialist paradises for which the primitives long.

And number three, 0bama cannot help but botch up the mess.

So yes, I agree.  Nothing good will come out of this.

You may wish to add a fourth point:  Under the current parameters of Western involvement set by the UN and the rebellious Libyans, we are merely a military tool for the rebels, and have no political input whatsoever on a successor regime.  That successor regime is therefore virtually assured to be at least as repressive and authoritarian as Khadaffi's interpretation of Fredonia, but probably even better at it and much less secular.

Well, the jug-eared Kenyan has a pretty powerful ally now.

If the Dems regain control of the house and they retain control of the Senate and White Mosque, those same people will be directing YOUR children's schools and burning your local Christian churches.

It's starting to look like the correct comeback for this is "Succeed at WHAT in Libya?"
