we've been hoodwinked by our annointed Commander in Chief.
If this is true, granted...

Jon Lee Anderson (New Yorker) to Eliot Spitzer:
“Effective number of fighting men, well under 1,000. Actual soldiers, who are now in the fight, possibly in the very low hundreds on the opposition side.”
I hope, pray, that is guy is an idiot and off by an order of magnitude.
Please be wrong. As of yesterday we (just the USofA, not our Coalition partners) had flown a total of 1802 sorties into harms way over Libya. Additionally, we've fired 214 Tomahawk missiles into Libya (BTW - those cost over a cool $1,000,000 per copy).
Some reports say this little op is costing us $600,000,000 per day. Let's see that's $100 per day PER LIBYAN CITIZEN.
Want to help the Libyans, Sudanese and Bahrainis (insert any other oppressed peoples here)? Crank up the assembly line again...

Drop them by the plane full to the opposition.
Stand back, let people determine their own fate.
Freedom means freedom for everyone.
I say bring all the troops home. 'specially from Europe, and Japan, and begin a long phased withdrawal from Korea.
It is argued that isolationism (and it won't be true isolationism) won't work, but have we ever really tried it?
Our leaders repeat the tired mantra that the US is not and should not be the world's policeman, but then go ahead and act like we are (we are).
Crazed American,
Out.
