Here's the flip side to the Al Quida piece and there's more than a little to that.
Congressman MCCain Liberman and Lindsey (torture-n-bomb-um) Graham no less where in Libya pledging a growing friendship and weapons to Ghadafi and the the Libyan amred forces in November.
last i checked on the news we are "still at war" with Al Qeada.
and Al Qeada always hate the U.S. and is going to kill us any moment. so they are our enemy.
but Libya which was working somewhat against the terrorist Al Quaeda and was forging a growing relationship with the U.S.. less than a year ago is now A unthinkable enemy that must GO! CANNOT BE ALLOWED to stay.
let me get this strait
the Al Qeada who fought troops in Iraq are not our enemy in Libya, they're "freedom fighters". But those same folks are worth bombing in Pakistan along with 50 innocents for every 1 Al Qeada terrorist suspect.
And "...we had to go into Libya becuase the Gov't MIGHT MAYBE ONE DAY SOON MASSACRE some their own people."
HUH?
We've always been at war with Oceania.
let me make it plan. it's BS!
Libya is Another BS war.
AL Queada is not a real world wide threat if they were we would NOT be allied with them in other parts of the world against dictators we were partners with months ago.

Senator John McCain with Senator Joseph Lieberman, Senator Susan Collins, and Senator Lindsay Graham
Tripoli - 14 Aug 2009 .
...At Friday's news conference, McCain said US delegation's talks with Libyan officials had focused in particular on the "provision of non-lethal defence equipment" to Libya's government.He added there were many ways that the US and Libya could "work together as partners", but stressed that the US still had concerns about the status of human rights and political reforms in Libya. The Arizona senator continued saying that the "ties between the United States and Libya have taken a remarkable and positive turn in recent years". US-Libyan relations hit a low in the 1980s, but began to improve after Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, whom former US President Ronald Reagan once famously called the "mad dog of the Middle East", renounced weapons of mass destruction in 2003. Gadhafi engineered a rapprochement with his former critics following the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States. He voluntarily dismantled Libya's secret programme to develop nuclear weapons, earning commitments from Britain and the United States to work together to contain the threat of international militant extremism...
As many as 60 percent of the foreign fighters who entered Iraq in the past year have come from Saudi Arabia and Libya, according to documents discovered in a raid in September near the Syrian border, a senior U.S. military official in Baghdad confirmed to CNN Thursday...link (http://articles.cnn.com/2007-11-22/world/iraq.fighters_1_foreign-fighters-sinjar-intelligence-findings?_s=PM:WORLD)
the Libyans specifically came from the area we are supporting.
