#8 both of whose only mission for the military, is to promote open gayness in uniform. (uh, war? What's war?) |

#7 It is just an ad hoc series of events that somebody in the administration whips out with no serious thought. When you have a Junior Senator occupying the Oval Office and anti-Military Liberal Hen Hawk over the state department, both of whose only mission for the military, what do you expect? Her Thighness is now meeting in London to form a Libyan government out of rag tag rebels who are high-tailing it out of the Qadaffy kill zones. |

#5 This whole op is insane. They never had a plan, they never developed anything. It is just an ad hoc series of events that somebody in the administration whips out with no serious thought. When you take a plan that is dogsh*t from the beginning, and you examine it in detail, it is still dogsh*t, but worse. |

#3 What kind of arms? Anti-tank mines and advanced anti-tank missiles? Gonna train these guys to use a TOW or Javalin? What about the artillary, what kind of arms will trump that short of their own artillary? Give'em some SAMs then fly some close air support - oops sorry about that A-10 or C-130, still practicing you know. And why stick around and use them and die, when they could just...walk. Sneak off, head off south, sell a couple of weapons and retire nicely, call it Operation 2 Fast 2 Furious and act shocked when this stuff shows in other theatres. I undertand that some systems may have some safety features, but like that tablesaw which stops when it detects flesh I have to behave as if it doesn't becuase my hand is not worth being careless. There is a hussle in this. |

#1 It appears the rebels are a rabble not a military force. They lack competent military leadership at all levels. All that weaponry will do is make them a well armed rabble. They will continue to be defeated quickly by any organized and trained military unit unless the rabble vastly outnumbers the military or mercenary. |
