Gingrich On Libya: Thankfully, French Not Distracted By Brackets

*Gingrich On Libya: Thankfully, French Not Distracted By Brackets(president present) [/URL]

 
Newt Gingrich told reporters today that the Libyan rebels have France's lack of bracket fever to thank for the no-fly zone that will soon protect them from aerial attacks by embattled dictator Muammar Qaddafi.

 
Asked about the U.N. Resolution authorizing military intervention in Libya -- something Gingrich has been pushing for a while now -- Gingrich ripped President Obama for not acting sooner, and again mocked him for his March Madness bracket.

 
"I was, frankly, very disappointed that [Nicolas] Sarkozy did not share with us his Final Four picks," Gingrich said, referring to the French president, who's nation has led the push for military intervention in Libya. "And i think it's his failure to understand the Final Four that allowed him to focus on Libya on a way tha. Clearly, if he had understood the American system he would have understood that his is not a good week to deal with Libya because this is the week to deal with Kansas, Ohio State, and you know things that were really important."

This could have been handled much more cheaply by simply dropping stinger missile to the rebels!
 
The Stingers will provide the no fly zone in Libya just as they did in Afghanistan during the Russian occupation of that nation!
 
A few anti-tank weapons such as TOW http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BGM-71_TOW or dragon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M47_Dragon would also enable the rebels to drive Gaddafi
back to Tripoli!
 
Sadly, the simplest and most effective options are anathema to Obama and the National Socialists who surround him!

bush spent more time on vacation than any president in history, even more than reagan.  but reagan was very old and senile, he needed the rest.  bush was the alleged commander in chief when there were two wars going on, and we were losing a hundred soldiers a week in iraq, and bush would go to crawford and cut brush.  did gingrich bitch at bush for doing that instead of focusing on a shooting war where a hundred soldiers are dying a week?  no.  but obama doing a bracket that might take an hour at the most, and no americans are at risk in libya whatsoever?
