Some key points:
-America has intervened in a civil war in a tribal society, the dynamics of which America does not understand
Yeah - there's not a SINGLE expert on Libya, much less tribalists, in the US. Yaaaaaaaa riiiiiiiiiight.
-Many in the media call Moammar Gaddafi’s opponents “freedom fighters,” and perhaps they are, but no one calling them that really knows how the insurgents regard one another, or understand freedom, or if freedom, however understood, is their priority.
Exactly, but it's the >>>LIBERAL<<< media calling them freedom fighters.
-In Libya, mission creep began before the mission did. A no-fly zone would not accomplish what Barack Obama calls “a well-defined goal,” the “protection of civilians.” So the no-fly zone immediately became protection for aircraft conducting combat operations against Gaddafi’s ground forces.
