Boots on the ground in Libya incoming
Sorry folks, I'm very cynical these days. The cheering squad now sees our military as successful with the "death" of OBL, and therefore, we are able to head right into Libya head-first with ground troops since "Viagra Rapes" was an abysmal failure.

I HOPE I am wrong, and that it is just my war-weary mind playing tricks on me. If so, I'll step up to the plate and say so.

3. Yes, I expect the MIC to use this to the fullest advantage.
As will politicians of all stripes.

As will those who profit from the stock market.

I'll stop there for now.
