Where in earth did you get the idea that Qadaffi is going easy on the rebels. He has no motive for dragging this war out. It is Qadaffi’s troops who use civilian population areas as shields. How would NATO troops outside the cities be destroyed when we have air superiority? Where do you get your misinformation?
Either you can’t win a war with a few thousand troops and air superiority, or you can. If you CAN, then why did we send 200,000+ troops into Iraq? Why not just go in with a few thousand troops since we had air superiority?
You did catch me though. I think I meant that they would be destroyed IN the cities. Outside the cities, they are simply worthless, as there is nothing to attack or defend out there. The fights are in the cities, and you can’t defeat the home military in the cities with a few thousand troops and air superiority.
Unless you can, and we were just stupid sending all those troops into Iraq, I guess.
