I can't quite figure out exactly what the UN or NATO's mission in Libya is, much less figure out what the US role has near and long term. Protect the innocence people, seem to be the best guess, but isn't that always true. The US and Brits firing off missiles in all directions and flying in stealth bombers all the way from Missouri to flatten the otherwise flat topography of Libya, probably impacted innocence people, don't you think?.
Where is our leader? Off to South America drumming up business to help reduce unemployment in US. That's a noble deed, however it would appear what is on his plate currently, that trip could of been posponed. He took the whole family-clan and neighbors too. Another $250 M expenditure when the country is flat broke. Good show!
He deligates the "Libyian War" effort to State (Hillery) and Defence (Gates). Hillery digs out the old text from "Billy the Zipper" play book when he conducted a total air war Bosnia back in the '90s. She convinced Gates this is what the US should do. No boots on the ground. (except for a fighter pilot who was shot down in Bosnia). But you know what? We had troops on the ground in the former Yugosalvia states, since the muslims (who we backed) won their war. In Libya, France, and the English needs the light crude oil from eastern part of the country. Two Libyas may be answer.
