Rep. Allen West: 'I Cannot Understand' U.S. Role in Libya

(CNSNews.com) - Republican Congressman and retired Army veteran Allen West
(R-Fla.) said he "cannot understand" America's involvement in Libya and that
U.S. military is being used as a "rent-a-force" in the region.

"For every decision there are consequences and we have to sometimes analyze
what could be those consequences. Just the same with operations in Libya - I
cannot understand it. I don't know what the goal and objective are," West
said in an address at the Heritage Foundation on Tuesday.

began 71 days ago, a "

allies attempt to "wear down the regime forces and change the political
calculations of the Gadhafi regime to the point where they finally realize
that they're not going to control this country."
