I completely agree. There seems to be no strategic planning to this one at all. We`re just going to go and shoot at stuff for a little while.... well, I suppose it`ll make us feel good about ourselves again. It`ll be interesting to see Colonel-General Obama`s tactics for switching to Plan B (ground troops) if Plan A fails to halt Gaddafi`s army in its tracks.
And proponents... Obama doesn`t the option of assassinating a foreign head of state... so capping Gaddafi is off the table.
I`m amazed this plan isn`t even being put to a vote test in Congress. At least Bush did that prior to OIF.

This is a UN declared war with the goal of putting the Muslim Brotherhood in charge. When Obama gave his address to Libya, he kept saying “the international community” this and the international community” that. America was not mentioned. This is why Obama dragged his feet before announcing involvement. He was waiting for the UN to tell him his role.
God help us all.
I've been wondering that, too. I can't imagine that it'll take long, either. I know many conservatives believe, with good reason, that Obama isn't as clueless as some claim. With this Libya situation, though, he's so far over his head.
