Absolutely would not have gone into Libya; get out now
Q: Would any of you have gone into Libya? Johnson: Absolutely not.
McCotter: The Administration shouldn't have commenced its ill-defined Libya mission; however once committed, we can't abruptly withdraw & further harm our diminishing credibility
in the world. Now, in solely a support role to prevent further involvement--no US boots on ground.
Johnson: Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya--Get out now!

Eliminate ineffective interventions in Iraq & Afghanistan
This recession has forced families and businesses across America to make hard choices and limit their expenditures. We must now expect our elected officials to make the tough calls that will keep our government on a sustainable path moving forward.
We must restrain spending across the board:- Revise the terms of entitlement programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, which threaten to bankrupt the nation's future.
-
Eliminate the costly and ineffective military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan; limit defense spending to actions that truly protect the United States.
-
Stop spending on the fiscal stimulus, transportation, energy, housing, and all other special interests. The US must restrain spending across the board.
