ace---do you actually think about what you write before you write it? during the speech--hell during EVERYONE's speeches whose said ANYTHING about this operation, the statement has appeared: getting gadhafi out of power is the political goal. obama has said it is not the americans' military goal. but that the united states will pursue that objective by non-military means. other countries have not said that they will so limit themselves.
it's a nato operation, ace dear. you can't seem to wrap your little mind around that, so can't seem to figure out that the united states isn't the only player.
that said, i don't have a clear idea of what the next move will or should be--i mean like tomorrow. gadhafi's forces have apparently retaken brega. their military capacity is not eliminated by any means.
i don't think the rebels have been sold a bill of goods by anyone. the only place there's been a promise of unlimited aid is in your imagination, ace. and that isn't a place that interests me.
the reality looks quite the opposite---i am thinking that there's likely to be a ground intervention sooner rather than later. hello libyans. excuse us while we hijack your revolution. thanks.
