NATO's War in Libya

This great scene from The Wizard of Oz pretty much covers it. There is lots of smoke and mirrors but DO NOT LOOK AT THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN! Behind the curtain are a host of nations, including the U.S., who do not want to put boots on the ground to take Gaddafi out. Instead they make grandiose pronouncements about Gaddafi having to go, make annoying pinprick airstrikes to show they mean BUSINESS, and whine that the U.S. needs to come back and carry out the airstrikes. Sheesh. I'm glad it never hit the fan with the Russians in the Fulda Gap. Heckuva way to run a war - or a kinetic military action - or whatever the heck this is. Prediction: Gaddafi stays if nothing changes.
