2. How the hell do we manage to become involved in everything that happens
on this planet?

Let the Libyan rebels do it on their own as they have expressed the desire to do. Whatever replaces Ghaddafi can't be much worse, absent our meddling.

6. Will we ever learn?
Hasn't intervention in the middle east proven to be much more trouble than it's worth by now?

8. No fly zone. Consideration of using air and sea superiority to strike heavy equipment, aircraft, and
strategic targets. Plausible blockade to prevent more mercenaries from jumping in.

13. Agreed.
The only ground forces you have in this situation is a SEAL team on standby to ONLY be used for recovering downed pilots and/or aircrew. Once you recovered the pilot/aicrew, the teams would get out and get back to their ships.

11. Do not intervene! Send support to the rebels.
Let them win back their country AND establish a new government without U.S. "help."

12. arming the rebels??? are you kidding???
whoever voted arm the rebels??? you want to pass out full auto and an ammo buffet to people you do not even know, have no clue who they really are??? when in this country I have to pay 200 dollars a whack for owning the same gun, plus I have to get backgrounded out the wazoo??? yeah what a dandy idea!!! and later on when those same weapons are turned against us and our allies we can get mired down a little deeper in the mid east!!
