a public option
Gregory: what is Qaddafi up to?
Engel: he is going to open up the armory to
anyone who wants a gun

Mullen: it’s a focused no-fly zone and as of
today it’s working

Gregory: what if it doesn’t work?
Mullen: but it is working Fluffy
Gregory: but what if it utterly fails?
Mullen: read the U.N. resolution - Qaddafi can stay unless he is voted out by the viewers
Gregory: is this in our vital interests?
Mullen: it’s vital that we provide naval support for the French efforts to prevent Libyan refugees from getting to Marseilles
Gregory: why go after Qaddafi but support the monarchy
in Bahrain?
Mullen: it’s true the Bahrain leader is a brutal killer but we have a lovely naval base there
Gregory: Didn’t Obama act too late?

in record time

we're going to get it right this time!

in this war?
Mullen: yes thank god
Gregory: thanks for coming epaulets-man
[ break ]

armed rescue squad
Levin: the air must be cleared of any threats including fighter jets, killer bees and angry birds
Gregory: I’m tweeting that
Levin: Obama used extreme caution and care before making a half-hearted non-decision
Gregory: how uncharacteristic of him
Sessions: this proves that John McCain was right
Gregory: can we really police the whole world?

Gregory: I see
Kerry: people were being slaughtered!
Gregory: what about the people being killed in Bahrain?
Kerry: in Bahrain the mischief has been managed
Levin: Hey Fluffy even the Arab world thinks
Qaddafi is crazy
Gregory: he’s politician what are you gonna do

Gregory: should Obama have consulted with Congress?
Sessions: I’m a Republican and even I don’t trust the fuckers on Capitol Hill
Gregory: hey I almost forgot there is a nuclear emergency in Japan
Levin: nuclear power isn’t all bad
Kerry: he’s right - after all a nuclear explosion
will kill thousands of people but we’ll all be killed by climate change
Gregory: how comforting
Gregory: Senator Sessions - isn’t Obama a
bad President?
Sessions: yes he is - we need to start drilling here in America for good old red white and blue oil
[ break ]

Mitchell: Questions are being raised
Gregory: what do you mean?
Mitchell: indeed people are saying
Gregory: it’s too little too late!
Haas: it’s too much too early!
Gregory: we agree!
Cooper: Obama and the Pentagon both don’t want
to be involved in Libya
Gregory: so of course we are
Miklaszewski: we’re in some deep shit
Hayden: we just took sides in a civil war
Mitchell: obviously Qaddafi has to go now
Gregory: cool
Mitchell: what kind of vacuum have we created?
Gregory: Dyson ball?
Miklaszewski: Dirt devil
Haass: I don’t mean to sound callous but civilians are massacred all the time - who the hell cares
Gregory: Hillary Clinton got Obama to attack Libya
Cooper: the old Clinton hands are trying to make up for not doing anything in Rwanda
Gregory: oh my
Cooper: the girls beat up the guys
Gregory: ha
Cooper: and then the Arab League got on board which was a bit of surprise
Mitchell: it was an amazing resolution passed through the Security Council
Gregory: what if a civil war breaks out in Libya
Haass: it has
Gregory: woot
Haass: I hope the Obama administration has a good feel for all the tribal politics of Libya
Gregory: oh I’m sure they do
Gregory: will we be greeted as liberators in Tripoli?
Miklaszewski: today the U.S. is attacking troops loyal to Qaddafi
Hayden: the French are afraid a bunch of Libyans will be sleeping on the streets of Paris
Cooper: it’s so inconsistent because we support democracy in Egypt but not in Washington D.C.
Haass: John Quincy Adams warned John McCain against doing stuff like this
Mitchell: Obama believes in coalitions and
he created one
Gregory: cool
Gregory: Obama was passive in Japan and is partying in Brazil
Miklaszewski: you think Obama is passive?
Gregory: and timid!
Miklaszewski: um Fluffy there are bombs being dropped on North Africa right now
Gregory: sure but he hasn’t nuked Japan
Miklaszewski: no comment
Gregory: and that’s Meet The Press

Would you think this is a good idea or bad idea? Any kind of help would be greatly valued.
