Kadafi's troops defending Surt force rebels to retreat 100 miles

"Where is Sarkozy? Where is Obama?" asked Hussam Bernwi, 36, an exterminator wielding an assault rifle, ....."I'm disappointed," Bernwi said. "We can't win without those planes."

I think someone didn't get the memo.

In just one month, the United States has worked with our international partners to mobilize a broad coalition, secure an international mandate to protect civilians, stop an advancing army, prevent a massacre, and establish a no-fly zone with our allies and partners. - B.O.

Without air support to quell the rebels, this can become a civil war that lasts for years or decades.

Was the UN intent to save several thousand lives, or have millions killed?

Stop genocide, check
Perform practice bombing on real targets thus increasing military experience, check
Increase arms sales thus increasing economy, check
Performing great at speeches and children's parties, check

I don't mean to sound like a conspiracy theorists (for I believe government and global bodies always have humanity's best interests at heart), wouldn't it be funny if the goal of this Libya fiasco was to turn it into a cesspool for extremists and jihadists to flood the country and plunge it into civil war? You know, like make it the big rallying cry that mobilizes terrorists so they stop focusing on putting bombs in their underwear and getting on cheap flights to Detroit because it's more cost-effective? Wouldn't that be something if we could just get all those terrorists into Libya to fight on the side of the rebels and then BOOM, turn them into ashes while also getting rid of Gaddhafi and taking over the oil fields? That'd be awesome!

I thought the Iraq liberation experiment was to get the terrorists to fight there instead of here...or was it wmds... or a humanitarian mission, without an endgame....

I seem to remember democrats were asking for the endgame and the response was victory.. now we have the war whores needing to know the end game for when the tomahawks will stop being shot..

what is the end game? Plan?

oh I get it this was a wet dream for conservatives to spread democracy in the ME..which seemed to happen without us firing a shot....

Thanks GOP! job well done..
