I agree with Senator Webb that we need to figure out exactly who the Libyan opposition is and what they stand for – if they are even coherent enough to stand for anything except for being against Gadhafi – before we even consider arming the rebels, or taking out Gadhafi’s air force, or whatever. As Jim Webb says, just because we don’t like “the present leadership” in Libya, people need to ask themselves “who you’re giving the weapons to and what is their future role if Gadhafi leaves?” Right now, I don’t think we know the answer to that question.
