President Obama committed Troops to Libya because of the deaths of Civilians and that Khadafy was bringing in outside forces to fight for him...Okay, I can somewhat see that this is an important issue...but my question is What about Syria and Yeman and Bahrain...?  The Syrian Gov't is shooting civilians (slaughtering them) should we not be issuing a No fly zone over Syria and Bombing its military...?  Bahrain Gov't HIRED Saudi Troops to do it's Fighting...did we not Bomb Libya for bringing in outside forces...should we not be bombing Bahrain...?  and the Yeman Gov't is also killing it's citizens...she we not be be bombing themalso....?  This President Has No Foundation...If he goes to War with Libya for it's wrongs, then why is he not going to war with Syria, Bahrain and Yeman....?   If he truely cares about the civilians...?   Would love to hear someone defend His lack of actions and Leadership!

See my reply in another posting on this subject. It was the right thing to do and he has shown considerable leadership and a considerate, common sense approach to the problem.  I would be happy to hear from those that criticize Obama's actions.  What would you have done if you were faced with the same situation?

As a fifth generation in the U.S. Navy (did 6 years myself)...Libya isn't worth it...Pres Obama said there would be no troops...Lie...we have CIA and Special Forces/Delta Team there on the ground...and we are going to need alot more troops similar to Basnia...plus if we went into Libya to protect the civilians from getting slaughtered then should we not also be in Syria, Yeman and Bahrain (Saudi Arabia)...civilians are dying there too...there needs to be a set guideline...Look, I support the Troops and All that they are trying to do, but you cannot bomb half a bridge...(see Korea for that analogy)...By telling the enemy (as Obama did) of when we are going to leave, just allows the enemy to wait us out...(look at Vietnam for example)...The VC knew we were leaving and struck big as soon as they knew we were gone...this is what is going to happen in Iraq and Afghanistan...the enemy is just waiting for the time we leave...by telling them the date then you have already admitted surrender...
