Why Libya?

Libya accounts for around 4% of the world's oil supply.

But that oil is one of the highest quality around, don't forget that. I don't stand folks diminishing the strategic significance of Libya in case say land operation is required. There are already more than enough commiesque people hanging around those boards saying there is nothing for US in Libya. This is full of BS!

The region is very very important and all the possible operations there will benefit US in the future. The only thing I don't understand why they are so hesitant to extend the managed chaos to other rebelling countries. Like Bahrain.

Actually the lefties around here seem at least neutral on the issue, or in support of it (ManusJustus and I both do, and we're two of the more acerbic leftwingers around here)

On these boards, the libertarians seem to be the ones in opposition
