After realizing that simply knocking out Moammar Gaddhafi's power plants and other minor complements were not allowing the rebels to keep from getting their asses kicked, the Obama Administration decided to up the ante... just a tad. To us, this is Un-American...
Yeah, they dropped $25 million on humanitarian aid, and made arrangements to fly drone missions on Libya. Aside from a buddy of mine who owns a Halal Food Store, we don't see much benefit from the continued nickel and diming of assistance to the rebels. As my Dad said, 'Shit or Get Off the Pot!!' No, public speaking is not his forte, but in this case, it makes sense.
Yeah, we get it.... We're trying to NOT push too much on this, but this is not how we do things .... ever. Leveling the field to give the rebels a chance is not the American Way. We have a long history of stacking the deck, and making sure that whatever our interests are, that is the end result.... We don't 'give the other guy a chance' .... we sit on his/her face until he/she taps out like a sissy in a MMA Cage Match! Especially with a dictator like Gaddhafi.. Why make it look like he deserves any hope of staying?
If Reagan were President today, he'd send in the entire 82nd Airborne in, complete with Lee Marvin and Chuck Norris, and flatten Libya like a pancake. Luckily for Gaddhafi, he never had to tangle with Reagan. Wait...... Oh yeah. Forgot about that. Guess 25 years does make a difference. Maybe Obama is waiting out Gaddhafi to die, then make a move. Could happen, but we doubt it. War is like Poker - you don't bet to maybe win. You either bet to win, or you pull your chips from the table. Bluffing rarely wins.....
Just ask Chris Ferguson... Glad to see he got a gig after the Black Crowes broke up.
