LIBYA FUCK UP; CLUELESS IN GAZA

the literary allusion is to eyeless in gaza, by aldous huxley, which has nothing to do with gaza but i have always loved the title

anyway, while we will see what happens in tunisia and egypt, the latter way more important, the pusillanimous pussy footers are fucking up big time in libya.

in egypt, the army was professional, with a 20 year relationship with the american military. in libya a very different story. while it was important for us not to be very visible in egypt; when kadafi started murdering people and bombing people we should have enforced a no fly zone.

it is probably too late and it will be bad and he may hold on

It is too late and bad. No fly zone should have been no-brainer. Taking out some of his military hardware and infrastructure would have saved lives. Liberal/conservative, right/left is so 20th century. With U.S. in limbo, China runs the show.
