Talk politics.

Yes, this is an excellent idea, because our country always benefits when we take military action against Middle Eastern nations. It's kind of like the logic that says that sticking your dick in a nest of hornets is a good thing, because their stings will swell up your weiner and make it even bigger to impress the ladies.

Fun quote from the L.A. Times: (http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/sc-dc-0320-us-military-libya-20110319,0,7579064.story)

While President Obama has emphasized that American forces would play a subordinate role in enforcing the no-fly zone over Libya, the Pentagon said the U.S. had to lead the operation in its early days because it has the greatest capability to destroy Kadafi's air defenses, a key prerequisite to taking control of Libya's airspace.

Once that portion of the mission is accomplished, international partners led by France, the United Kingdom and Arab partners will enforce the no-fly zone, U.S. officials said.

In other words, we're only being expected to take charge of all this shit NOW, but once everything gets SETTLED, everyone ELSE will step in to take over the heavy lifting from us.

On the K-Box Index of Unbelievably Bullshit Claims, this hits the scale somewhere between when Steve Jobs was still insisting that he would only be the "Interim" CEO of Apple and college douchebros who tell girls they've just met at parties that they'll only put the HEAD in.
