Well he just dumped a billion or more debt-dollars into Libya.

which comes out of DoD money already spent. and he's dumping the war

let them run it.

This is just part of the stimulus package. Raytheon will have to
replace all of those fired Tomahawks and the sub contractors spread
out across the US. They may even get Boing/MD to build a few if they
still have a contract. That gets a few more congressional districts in
the action.

works for me. of course the GOP will now demand medicare cuts to pay
for the missles

This "dumping it on the French" is a nice subterfuge politically in
the US but the French do not have that good a reputation in North
Africa.

yeah and our reputation is stellar, right?

This could blow up in our face.
I am sure Qdaffy is already spinning this as the European
recolonization of Africa and if that catches hold, we could hit a
wall.

it's already blowing up in our face. this is the consequence of
supporting crazed dictators for generations

Politically, this is a lot more complicated than simply huddled masses
yearning to be free.
These dictators may have been nasty SOBs but they were our nasty SOBs
They pretty much agreed not to oppress anyone outside their borders,
sell the west cheap oil and leave Israel alone.
We really can't afford to lose any of those bargains.

and yet we will. we cant stop it. history happens
