Like properly invaded? Unlikely. The same sort of thing Obama did?

Most probably, and God no, i would never support such folly. The intervention in Libya was far more disastrous than most people realise, probably because they want to ignore how blatantly illegal Obama's involvement was, and his disingenuous pretending he didn't need Congressional approval (despite long exceeding the 60 day limit). What we saw in Libya was the US military used as if it were the right arm of a single man - talk about setting dangerous precedents.

i mean implement an operation that includes ground and air and special ops, to do everything necessary to route the attackers of the us embassy. in the same vein as the invasion of afghanistan... but arguably more justified

McCain? Yes. Romney? No.I completely agree with you on McCain.
Why do you think that about Romney?

McCain? Yes. Romney? No.
What do you even bother making a distinction on who is in office, while in reality it doesnt even matter. Neither of those would be making decisions on its own.

For better or for worse, it's a pretty standard thing for the US administration to be doing, no matter who's in charge.
