SENATE BILL: Libyan Aid Bill (law'd)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I don't like the justification behind removing military aid in this bill, which on the surface seems to be a knee-jerk reflex opposition to anything remotely military, and a desire to firm up one's credentials on such matters, because god forbid our liberal and libertarian friends lose some brownie points in the club because they are out anti-militaried.

No, instead lets give them all the goodies, the aid with voter registration, the food, the infrastructure, build a nice shinning city in the middle of the desert. And when some random group of crazies rolls into town with AK-47s, RPGs, and maybe even the SAMs that disappeared recently, to which the Libyan gov't is incapable of putting up a solid defense because the citizen "armed mobs" that united to overthrow Gaddaffi have dispersed and maybe even joined the crazies, do we not share in the blame because we were ideologically prohibited from giving them the means to defend what they have gained and the other aid we have given them?

You damn well bet I object.

It does seem that some have a sort of visceral reaction to the world 'military' and don't consider the intent or the context.

I guess we can blame George Bush for this. He did basically create the next generation of militantly anti-military people in RL.

WTF bgwah? This is basically a poison pill to ensure no aid goes to Libya at all, whether that is the intent or not. You are demanding too much of a gov't as stable as the Russian Provisional Gov't was in 1917.


It is becoming clear that that senate is dead set on condemning Libya to another brutal dictator, one who could be worse than Gaddaffi.

Perhaps the fake Senator has had a little too much of that fake alcohol tonight.


In a first person shooter type game like say Call of Duty or Medal of Honor, that would be the quivalent of hitting the exit button and stepping out of the game just as it got dicey.
