    Not going to happen, Obama has already said he would send drones, that's all for now but we know we have people already there. The French are already bombing and Europe has decided to help with a few things. I think we are all tired of civil wars and policing the world and can't even take care or our own correctly.

    Well what we are hearing is that people from Morsi sp walked over and started bombing everything they found non-Islamic. Obama sent our embassy people home just in case and the people there got upset because the French didn't help them and were throwing rocks at them while most of them fled. The French first refused to help them but now has. They are saying that their next targets will be the French and Europe. Is it true, I have no idea because I don't know anyone there right now. Why the US is getting involved is beyond me. We should stay out of it and let the others and the people there fight their civil wars. Whoever is in office I would say the same, we don't need to police the world. Sending drones with troops already there is putting us into the war. He needs to bring the troops we already have in other countries home and stop this civil war stuff unless we are attacked.

    I don't understand why we are getting involved in this. You would think that the people in charge would be tired of intensifying conflicts and getting involved in wars across the globe. We should be reducing our military footprint and not finding any excuse to use a new weapon or kill something while waving our flag like we are doing something noble. And yet we wonder why we continue to be thought of as the world police, war mongers, and so on.

    Me either and it's getting frustrating that we stick our nose into everything. More of our troops will be killed and more innocent people that had nothing to do with the bombings will be killed. Most likely end up training troops there too. It's crazy and we need to stop. Who will be next?

    Who knows, but I'm sure there will be hundreds of drones in that country pretty soon, we will accidentally kill hundreds of people with them while trying to kill people that weren't doing anything to us, we will be there for years afterwards cleaning up, and we will make even more enemies because of it all. It's hard not to be pessimistic about it all when it happens so often now.

    The only trouble with that perspective is that it concedes territory to the Moslem Jihadists .
    I don't actually support US , NATO and EU strategic thinking in this area . But the apparent consensus is to stop the Jihadists by hounding them from country to country to continent after continent .But in reality it is far easier for them to treat "us" on a guerilla basis and run rings about us , moving freely around the globe -- with the proviso that they have money and converts to fight for them and die willingly .
    Do you know what is propping up the Mali "al Qaeda' ?
    It is guns brought from Libya . Thousands upon thousands .


    Think it through and marvel at the irony .

    Gosh, I thought the Liberal Messiah was going to end all that.

    Maybe you should try supporting a Libertarian next time.
