Washington Post:
Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen provided an update regarding the military situation in Libya. “I would say that the no-fly zone is effectively in place,” said Mullen, outlining the ultimate goal as being threefold: successfully establishing the no-fly zone, arresting Gaddafi’s ability to massacre his own people, and making possible the entry of humanitarian assistance into Libya. “While the United States leads this right now,” said Mullen, “we expect in the next few days to hand that leadership off to a coalition-led operation, and the United States recede somewhat to the background in support.”
So where do we stand? What do we hope to achieve? Are we leading the pack or are we part of a coalition? Who is the boss? Who pays the bills? Humanitarian assistance sort of says ‘boots on the ground’ doesn’t it? Are we trying to take Gaddafi out or not? If not, then why are we bombing his compound?
All of this is very confusing. Don’t we think most wars will be over in a week or 2?

I don’t know where you come up with this male bovine merde but it is amazing. I believe you would bitch if you were hanged with a new rope. You bitch because nothing happens and then when something does happen you bitch even more. Give it a f’ing break.
@George S. Harris
George, what is your obsession with hanging me? I think that’s twice you’ve mentioned it.
Thankfully I’m not too brown or I might think you like thinking about lynching..
Mr. Obama is a big boy. The slings and arrows come with the job.
I assume your ok with 3 wars?
