…. so that the advocates of imposing a “No Fly” zone over Libya will be the first to perish for their arrogance and folly.

Oh, by all means lets jump into Libya so we can end up fighting both the rebels and the deranged Colonel himself. We might be able to spread the collateral damage around a bit and follow the prevailing U.S. battle plan of bending over to let the Law of Unintended consequences have another go at us.
These guys remind me of some lout whose car ran out of gas and his bald tires went flat who decided to commandeer a passer’s by car because they needed to get someplace in a hurry and they knew best how to drive cars.
At some point, they might just dispense with the charade and simply rubber hose their bicep and pump quantitatively eased money in their gouty veins .
didn’t know how to drive.

Maybe I should issue a call for volunteers to fold the parachutes of any congressmen willing to fly over Tripoli.

I’ve folded business shirts a few times before taking trips, so maybe that’s all the training I need to fold a congressman’s parachute. Actually, that is the same level of “training” that congressmen apparently have before recommending military interventions.

Which congresscritter will play the part of Slim Pickens and ride the bomb down?

Great question! They could practice that doing bombing runs of the paddle boats in the Tidal Basin here in DC during Cherry Blossom festival.

Obviously, hands down, Senator Lieberman of the District of Columbia might take Slims part even if’n he aint much of a bronc buster.
I’d say a little practice run on the tidal basin during cherry blossom time is a perfect idea. Maybe there could be some collateral damage on K Street.

One of the questions I want our glorious chickenhawks to answer is: what if Qaddafi starts winning anyway, in spite of the “no-fly zone”? What then?

Obviously, if the Mad Sartorial Colonel wins and keeps the oil supply humming, he would be embraced by the Anglo Saxon for his contributions to stability in the region.

Maybe Harvard would even give him a distinguished award, like the London School of Economics did awhile back.
