They are the ones playing politics, I am saying we do not need to go in or even consider it.Libya gets hostile towards us, MAYBE, but right now, we need to sit aside and let Libyan people fight their revolution.

But we still went in there without being attacked. And it was the neo-conservative Republicans who presented the evidence and lead the charge. Plenty of Democrats supported it as well, but the NeoCons lead the charge. We went in under the auspices of ending the weapons programs and making the world safer, espeically for America. We accomplished neither, political spin or not. Those are plain and simple facts, and we would all do well to remember that the next time we stick our nose into that region of the world.
