So we are flying sorties and dropping explosives in yet another middle eastern country. really I do not see the pressing US National interest that compels this action.

I feel for the Libyan rebels. Their dictator is insane and I will not shed one tear for him when he finally is shoved off this mortal coil, but that doesn’t mean we should be the ones directly shoving. We have much more important matters to deal with, such as our debt and the coming crush of debt if we do not do something about our expenditures.

As far as the wars in the middle east, we should get out of them. Libya? Not our concern. Iraq, wasn’t a pressing need for that war to big with and it’s up to the Iraqis — whoever they are — to fix the situation.  Afghanistan?, frankly I don’t care if that go back to playing stick and ball with each others heads, as long as there is not a base of operation for our enemies to operate out of.

Al Queda I think can be handled at the Special Forces level of military operations now, not the carrier group level. Let them fear the dark and the bad rough Americans who wait for them there, but let’s stop this foolish fighting the current war like it is the last one.
