5. If I'm not mistaken the first strike on Libya came after Kaddafi (sp?) ordered an attack

on US troops. Up until that point I don't think there had been an issue, Kaddafi was just trying to strut his stuff and it didn't pan out for him. It's kind of hard to imagine any leader of any nation not ordering a retaliatory strike.

I think we're semi-invited in Yemen. The government wants help eliminating AQ groups that are as troublesome for them as they are for the US but they can't say as much publically. They sure as heck don't seem unhappy about us bombing AQ.

I think the author may have set the bar pretty low for what they consider an "invasion". n/t hughee99 Nov 2014 #9
