Remember a liberal president ""Jimmy Carter"" Gave weapons to Bin Laden to help fight the Soviets in Afgainstan? Then Later they turned those weapons against us.Now Obama gave Aid to Libya 20 years from now were have an attack on our soil and a Republican president will be in power. And you know how the last one played out under Bush.

Be careful what you fight for, you just may get it.

While we tend to win military engagements, we just as commonly tend to lose control and success in the post-conflict phase. And if Libya turns into a radical state, we could achieve a worse condition than we stated with; and it will be blamed on the US. We simply don't have the money to through away on another failed "democratization effort."

And we don't want to have to establish another huge US Political-Military contingent in another Arab country.

Most Respectfully,
