Libya a textbook fuster-cluck

"Do or do not. There is no try."
~Yoda~

It has been oft said that the purpose of the military is to kill people and break things. Or, as Sun Tzu might have put it, the object is to make the war intolerable for your enemy to continue. Sadly I have to believe that thus far Gaddafi is laughing his ass off.

The French haven't launched a war plane since the first day. That shouldn't surprise anyone. The French usually surrender after about a day. The Brits aren't much better. After only 5 days they are out of missiles and had to send for their other submarine. The Germans pulled out in a snit. The Arab nations, once so outraged by Gaddafi's atrocities, haven't contributed a single bullet. And check out the highlights from UK Mail online:

# Tensions with Britain as Gates rebukes UK government over suggestion Gaddafi could be assassinated

# French propose a new political 'committee' to oversee operations

# Germany pulls equipment out of NATO coalition over disagreement over campaign's direction

# Italians accuse French of backing NATO in exchange for oil contracts

# No-fly zone called into question after first wave of strikes 'neutralises' Libyan military machine

# U.K. ministers say war could last '30 years'

# Italy to 'take back control' of bases used by allies unless NATO leadership put in charge of the mission

# Russians tell U.S. to stop bombing in order to protect civilians - calls bombing a 'crusade'

I'm not sure why Obama got us into this goat-roping - evidently he doesn't either - but I think it's high time he got us the Hell out of it. Not tomorrow. Now! You don't put the American military under the command of some damn French committee.

Our brave members of the American military didn't sign on for this kind of bullshit.
