THE LONGER IT TAKES THE MORE LIBYANS DIE.
UNNECESSARILY, TOO.
MINITER IN THE NYPOST TODAY:
... the Predator option. It doesn't require a carrier to launch and, if the unmanned drone is shot down, it doesn't start a hostage crisis. It has proven effective over both urban and desert terrain. Its ability to linger over a target for hours is another unique advantage: Its sensors have time to locate Khadafy while minimizing collateral damage.Yes, there are legal issues: The president might have to suspend an executive order that bars the assassination of foreign heads of state. But he can do so with the stroke of a pen.
Asked his greatest regret as president, Bill Clinton once answered that he wished he'd done more to save lives in Rwanda. Bombing Rwanda's central radio transmitter, from which the murderers coordinated their attacks, would have spared many civilians.
Does Obama want to live with a similar regret, knowing that a single strike -- decapitating the deadly Libyan regime -- could end a tyranny and save lives?

TAB LAST WEEK: OBAMA SHOULD LAUNCH A CRUISE MISSILE ATTACK DIRECTLY AGAINST GADDAFI
OBAMA, HILLARY, GATES AND HOLDER SHOULD CONFER WITH REID, MCCONNELL, BEOHNER AND PELOSI, AND THEN ORDER A MISSILE ATTACK DIRECTLY AGAINST GADDAFI.REGULAR READERS KNOW WE SCOOP ALL THE BIGGIES ALL THE TIME WITH LINKS, SHARP ANALYSIS AND BLUNT NO HOLDS BARRED COMMENTARY.
THIS WOULD BRING JUSTICE FOR THE USA - AND NOW THE LIBYAN PEOPLE TOO.
THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE.
IF OBAMA WAS A REALLY PATRIOT WITH BALLS HE'D DO IT.
BASED ON THEIR ACTIONS AS POTUS, FDR, TRUMAN AND CLINTON WOULD'VE DONE IT. EVEN HILLARY - HAD HER NOMINATION NOT BEEN STOLEN BY OBAMA IN THE CAUCUSES AND HAD SHE BEEN ELECTED - WOULD DO IT.
SPREAD THE WORD.
