Here's a question - What happens if we publicly pressure Gaddafi to go and he doesn't? What if he wins and stays in power?
What has the West gained and what has the West lost? If he wins and we have publicly tried to oust him, he becomes an enemy in the war on terror, potentially funding al-Qaeda and other groups. Seems to me, that would be a pretty big L for our side.
The people who are opposing him in the east tend to be more fundamentalist and more willing to support our enemies. We should be working covertly, but I can see a whole lot of downside if we play this wrongly.
well said. I don't know who running the shop at the WH but, we have already passed the point of no return ala Quadaffi, if he ever trusts us again hes a fool.
Hillary back tracked today saying its very important this not be "a US led effort.."
Why should Gaddaffi trust anyone? Why does he need to trust anyone outside of his very well paid staff?
You people need to stop listening to FNC and THINK FOR YOURSELF.
Gaddaffi is a fucking Billionaire who has had half a century to secure his position.
Uhm, I don't take my ques ala forigen affairs or actually very little else from FNC
And, in the sense that he trusts us to stand by our agreements with him and leave him alone ala his dumping his nuclear prgm. and the intimidation which got him to that point. We had 'power' over him at one point, Obama has, squandered it.
