Because It Worked Out So Well Before

It seems our 100 $600,000 cruise missiles didn't do a whole Hell of a lot of help the Libyan rebels. That shouldn't have been surprising though as the rebels are still outgunned on the ground. I like how George W. Obama is pretending to make an effort to avoid sending in ground troops but we know it will eventually happen. The next facade he's bringing up is the possibility of arming the Libyan rebels.

This is a great idea because then when we get sick of them rebels twenty years down the road we can fight our own equipment just like we did in Afghanistan. Granted I wouldn't have a problem with this if it wasn't for two facts; tax payers will be paying for the weapons and we're likely going to send in ground troops anyways so this whole deception is pointless. I'm hoping to be happily surprised and find out we're not sending ground troops in but alas I don't think Bush 2 is going to avoid occupying another major oil producing country.
