[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Well in the context of the last few posts, it is one of the only smart things we did. Our urban combat capability was a mess, but our air superiority is unquestioned. Air attack is the one thing we know how to do without getting our ass handed back to us. [/quote]

We did too little too late.  If we had reacted one or two weeks earlier Gaddafi would have been finished.  Also of all the countries in the region Libya is much less important strategically and in terms of human rights violations.  Look at Syria now and Iran over one year ago when the video of that poor woman getting shot by a sniper was released. The US response was pretty much, "nothing" in both cases.

Obama, the Nobel Peace Prize winning statesman does not see that impressive to me.  I guess that the rest of the country will decided in 2012.[/quote]

That's a lot of armchair quarterbacking.  In Mid-February, the resistance was a bunch of unarmed demonstrators.  The National Transitional Council wasn't formed until the 27th.  We were in there on the 15th.  The idea that we decide to bomb a country like Fed Ex delivers your khaki pants is really naive.  No one was going to commit the US to a third military action without doing it through the UN and with international commitment.[/quote]
