Yes, they not only said it but want to bring a proposal to the Senate floor. Let's ignore the public's disdain for another singular interventionist action (Libya succeeded as it was alliance-centered,our role being minimal), and that the UN sanction will provide the impetus to move elections along and bring an end to the violence. Last thing we need is another Iraq, we just got out (by the demand of the Iraqi government) of the stupid invasion roughly on time, luckily. The bill for that idiocy is yet to be paid....by us. It's called the deficit,headed for the debt. |

Keeping quiet about what—the NYT propaganda machine . . . ?Actions speak way, way louder than words, and what happened in Libya speaks for itself. Assad is already in with Iran, who is in with al-Qa'eda anyhow; it's a power struggle there now. Only partisans try to hype the angle up about McCain and Graham, as though those two were not liberals. |

(Libya succeeded as it was alliance-centered,our role being minimal)Our role being minimal? The U.S. provided the lion's share of airpower and virtually all of the intelligence. We helped NATO with everything from munitions to surveillance aircraft. We spent well over $1 billion - that's minimal to you? We had a dozen U.S. warships on station, the biggest contingent in this naval force. In the opening hours of the campaign, an American submarine, the USS Florida, launched 100 cruise missiles against Libyan air defenses, crucially opening an entry corridor for the airstrikes that followed. U.S. tanker aircraft refueled European aircraft on the great majority of missions against Gaddafi’s forces. The Europeans have tanker aircraft, but not enough to support a 24/7 air offensive that averaged around 100 missions a day, some 50 of them strike sorties. The U.S. flew 30 of the 40 tankers. When the Europeans ran low on precision-attack munitions, the U.S. quietly resupplied them. That explains why European air forces flying F-16s (Norway, Denmark, and Belgium) carried out a disproportionate share of the strikes in the early phase of the campaign. The U.S. had stocks of the munitions to resupply them. When Britain and France, which fly European-built strike aircraft, also ran short, they couldn’t use U.S.-made bombs until they had made hurried modifications to their aircraft. To target Gaddafi’s military, NATO largely relied on U.S. JSTARS surveillance aircraft, which, flying offshore, could track the movements of rival forces. When more detailed targeting information was needed—as in the battles for Misrata and other towns defended by Gaddafi’s troops—the U.S. flew Predator drones to relay a block-by-block picture. U.S. Air Force targeting specialists were in NATO’s Naples operational headquarters throughout the campaign. They oversaw the preparing of “target folders” for the strikes in Tripoli against Gaddafi’s compound and the headquarters of his military and intelligence services. U.S. AWACS aircraft handled much of the battle-management task, acting as air-traffic controllers on most of the strike missions. Again, the Europeans have AWACS, but not enough crews to handle an all-hours campaign lasting months. Eavesdropping by U.S. intelligence, some by aircraft, some by a listening post quietly established just outside Libya, gave NATO unparalleled knowledge of what Gaddafi’s military planned. When Gaddafi began to launch Scud missiles into towns held by the opposition, a U.S. guided-missile destroyer offshore negated his offensive by shooting down the Scuds. Geez, how much longer are you going to keep making this stuff up? |

We spent well over $1 billion - that's minimal to you? US Federal Budget = 3,800 billion dollars. $1 billion = 0.026% of US budget. That's qualifies as minimal by any definition. More so considering it was a non-renewable one-time thing. It's like somebody making $50,000 a year spending $13 on some one-time thing. |

Why would you look at the expenditure as part of the federal budget? Better to look at it as part of the military budget. Regardless, we were still the major player there. |

Sort of like when Bush went into Iraq. The entire left SOGBS. That's Shit or Go Blind Syndrome. Obama is now 2 for 2 supporting our enemies in egypt and lybia (or are they his allies?). I'm certain that he'll go for the tri-fecta and have one massive force to do his bidding in Israel. |

McCain is a genuine war hero who showed great character when he was a POW. But he has strange ideas about military alliances, very possibly colored by his terrible experiences.

This is the point where Gingrich lost hope for becoming President.He lost any hope when he said he would have judges arrested for rulings he doesn't like and would ignore their decisions. Even America-hating conservatives were appalled because if the President had such powers today, Obama would have had five Supreme Court justices arrested (the Citizens United case for starters) plus the ones who ruled against Obamacare. |

True, but even if it were 10% of the military budget (which would have made it around $70 billion), that's still a small part of the federal budget. |
