It depends on what our forces are doing a year, year and a half from now.

If there are US casualties and US ground forces in Libya, expect bad things on election day.

If NATO is wrapping up operations and advisers are helping build a new government in Tripoli, then expect it to be a major plus.

- It could. Personally, I think it's unfounded. I'd rather have him thinking over options than just going in guns ablaze - TWuG Mar 30, 11:01 1
  - Founded or unfounded has very little to do with public perception. Some things just stick. -- nm - Ender Mar 30, 11:03

- I think things like this are driven by results. Not a one of us would still be bitching about Iraq if they had greeted us as liberators. - TWuG Mar 30, 10:59
