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.

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. 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.
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.

Qadaffi-lover, eh?
Sure, you can go against the Arab street.
Maybe strafe and bomb the Libyan "freedom-fighters" too.
See how many AQ recruits that gets you.
You're living in the past.
The times they are a-changin'.

I don't want to strafe and bomb anyone, yet we are.
I don't have any particular like for Qdaffy but I do understand he was
quietly sitting in his palace, not really bothering anyone, much like
Mubarak.
We don't have a clue who will be taking over in any of these countries
but the Israelis are nervous and that is enough to make me nervous. If
anything happens, we will be right in the middle of it.

Actually we do. Muslim Brotherhood for Egypt is a forerunner for Egypt.
Rebels are al-Qaeda allies, so a more radical Islam there. One less
large ally to the US there as bet the next Egypt moves away from the US.

Obama supporters like to ignore the immutable fact, but Mubarak was
elected!! And had over 50% popular support, but the 30% angry minority
toppled the government.

Every dictator, every elected leader, every government in the world no
longer trusts the USA. As in essence Obama is deposing of foreign
leaders. UN usually tries to get UN-colonial puppets to replace them
but we will see. A NWO type parachuted into US polics. And people
bought it. Beware, they will try this again next time, get a puppet
president, a UN arse kisser.

Hamas are up to their old tricks, perhaps Israel should just evict them.
Run them off like rodents.

I don't know if US news shows it, but China and Russia are now unified
allies against US-UN aggression. This is the same kind of crap that
happened pre-WW II with Germany, Italy, Japan.... we could be a step
closer to WW III. And this time US is Germany, a bad currency/debt
situation being the aggressor....
