Don't You Find Gate's Comment Self Serving?
By: Lee S Gliddon Jr
Secretary of Defense Gates stated his reason for not wanting to close the Libyan air space to be, "We would have to take out all air defense measures that Libya has."
Is that a little strange?
If you will recall when President Reagan was in office there was a bombing in Germany that resulted in the deaths of several serviceman from America. He wasted no time as he sent our war planes to bomb Libyan interests within that country. He did not seek to negate Libya's anti-aircraft defenses but sought justice. If you recall, it worked!
Now we hear a lame excuse by a lame Administration as to why America should be seen as helpless to the world! Yes...helpless!
America possesses arms that can destroy any defense measures that fair on military aircraft. Even Hussein dared not fire against our planes that bombed Iraq for fear of further destruction.
The Obama Administration is making America the laughingstock of the world! This can only be seen as purposeful and that is only serving the purposes of someone or someones other than the American people.
Recently I have been told by retired military men, "If we had known America was to turn into a country as weak as we appear we would not have even gone into the military in the first place."
It appears Obama's CHANGE is for the worse!
