As Bot said I'm not to crazy about Presidents having there own little wars without congress getting involved, more so since were already involved in 2 and have substantial assets in Japan now helping them.

Now that we have committed to intervene and since we will do 95% of the fighting since the Europeans are useless, well its a slippery slope.

Now if Ghadaffi still wins were screwed, if the rebels win and this is handled correctly, and a good government is formed we might come out ahead, although its very uncertain.

Problem is air power might not be enough to change the balance of power unless it gets low and starts attacking Ghadaffi's front line forces...this means boots on the ground for spotters, and it starts from there.

Problem with "limited police actions" or whatever the BS term for it is, is they are well useless, either go all the way or stay out. No such thing as limited killing and shooting for the people doing it.
