Sean Duffy on Foreign Policy

 

 


Opposes involvement in Libya as against our interests

I was willing to withhold judgment on the decision to establish a no-fly zone in Libya with a broad, international coalition, provided the Administration clear up the murky mission. I expressed concern that this mission could become an open-ended use of American forces. Therefore, until a compelling case is made and permission is sought, I do not believe we should continue American involvement in Libya.
