Conservatives and Liberals have been using the phrase "mission CREEP" in regards to the ongoing conflict in Libya for weeks now. The term means that a military conflict has evolved from one set of goals to another set for whatever strategic or political reason of the moment.
It's about time!
When the U.N. mandated War on Libya was launched about a month ago, I was calling for America to fight Muammar Gaddafi with the intention of removing him from power. And with the horrible news of stalemate, I believe we need to be more involved than ever in aiding the Rebel forces in Gaddafi's overthrow.
The British and French are stepping up their involvement, but America is still sitting on the sidelines. Only two weeks of American involvement resulted in Gaddafi's air force being completely destroyed, and the no-fly zone being put successfully in place. Not to mention, but we also saved Benghazi from ruin.
America cannot sit on the sidelines any longer!
This "mad dog" will not be removed until we do it, regardless of how much fire power the British and French contribute, because we have the greatest military force on earth, and it's about time we use it to dislodge one of our oldest foes.
What say you?
Why is this our tight?
ReplyDeleteGadaffi wasn't targeting civilians any more than any other Mid-east dictator did, or is now doing.
Except that Libya has oil.
If Iran wants Lybia they can do their own fighting.
