So after reading/listening to whats going on in Libya I've learned that:
1.)The French are in charge? Is it NATO? The U.S. will use force for a little bit then stop? The Arab League wanted a no fly zone until the NFZ included blowing stuff up? No wait, it's the UN that's running the show, right?
2.)There is no clearly stated goal or outcome that has been stated. It's a humanitarian mission but Obama said it was time for the good Col. to go, but now he has said this isn't about deposing the Col. Is it because of oil in general? Or is it because the French want their oil company Total (spelling) to be back in the saddle?
3.)The Germans want nothing to do with it.
4.)Even with the "Coalitions" help the rebels are being pushed back.
5.) Because of 4, the rebels are asking for more "help".
6.)Obama has now stated that the international community has an absolute obligation to intervene in any scenario where a nations leader is attacking the civilian population with the military. This opens up a gigantic can of worms.
7.)And another huge questions that has yet to be, and probably won't be, answered: What constitutes a "humanitarian mission"? How do we know that the Col. is slaughtering civilians in far flung Libyan towns? Is a nations leader fighting armed rebels an actions against civilians?
We are several days into major offensive actions and the "partners" in this mission have yet to even agree upon a command structure. What the fuck is going on?
