I was going to post my similar feelings last night. Unless we have definite intel re Libya’s SAMs, it’s what amounts to a proving ground for the Russians/Chinese against western military capabilities. I just hope we don’t have another Francis Gary Powers circus if one of those Libyan/Russian missile operators happens to get lucky. Or worse another Blackhawk Down situation because the UN doesn’t have the stomach to deal with public losses.

Now that the fight is over, there is little upside here.

We have no business sticking our noses into an Arab civil war.

And "we must help the innocent Libyans against their cruel oppressors" rings hollow after all our years of inaction in Sudan when the southern Christians were being enslaved and killed.
