The Worst Case Scenario In #Libya -- And It's Perfectly Plausible

By John Ellis

Veteran Pentagon correspondent Tom Ricks posts a guest column by one of his sources that outlines how things might go terribly wrong in Libya.
It's worth a read:
1. We arms the rebels.
2. Find this is both not enough and Qaddafi's forces overrun, confiscate, and use arms against rebels and coalition air forces.
3. We try air assault against Qaddafi's ground forces.
4. Find this is insufficient and leads to excessive collateral damage.
5. We try to convince coalition to place boots on the ground.
6. Notably France and other members reject land invasion.
7. NATO can't gain consensus to modify Resolution 1973
8. United States bites the bullet, air assaults known Qaddafi military bases, and
lands troops in Libya.It gets worse.  Read the rest here.

What exactly is a "Limited War?"

The US often proclaims the war they are launching to be limited in scope and time. Yet often these wars drag on as troops get bogged down, focus or aims of war change, and the people who welcomed US troops as liberators or defenders, turn on them as occupiers. Days turn into weeks, weeks to months and wham suddenly all the TV channels are doing 10 year anniversary pieces. Just over one week into the Libya war and there is already talk of weeks, not days. NATO predicts 3 months while the Pentagon thinks it will take significantly longer. So will this become an odyssey of death and destruction.

Inside Story - NATO's intervention in #Libya

The international operations in Libya are now into a second week - under US command and control. However, the US has insisted that its leadership role be temporary and has pushed for transferring command of the operation to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, NATO. But there have been arguments among NATO members as to exactly what the nature of the operations should be. Turkey and Germany, in particular, are insisting that NATO should only accept responsibility for the maintenance of a no-fly zone, arguing that military action beyond this objective is not mandated by the UN resolution. Are two centres of command and control viable? Is this division in responsibility a reflection of differences about exactly what is mandated by the UN Security Council resolution on Libya?

Why Not Syria and Iran? Hell, Why Not North Korea?

I was on a radio show today and one of the hosts was trying to put a good face on Obama’s Libyan thing. “Well,” she said, “he was slaughtering all those innocent people. Should we just stand by?” I said that the Iranians were killing 3 a day — that we know about — for months, and for extras were killing Americans, as they had been for 32 years. We have stood by, as we are standing by as Assad — another sponsor of American killers — slaughters the Syrian people demonstrating for freedom.
The problem with Obama’s Libyan thing is twofold:
First, if it’s right to intervene to save Libyan lives, then why isn’t it right to save Iranian, Syrian, Congolese, Sudanese, North Korean and Chinese lives, as well as millions of others?
Remember, I was the first kid on the block to call for bombing the Libyan air force, several weeks before the Valkyries decided that it was urgent to do something, and convinced a clearly reluctant president to do the Libyan thing. And I have said that getting rid of Qadaffi is a worthy mission, but not a crucial one. Which brings us to the second part of the problem.

Night video of UK Tornado jets bombing Gaddafi battle tanks

UK Ministry of Defence has released footage showing warplanes attacking targets near the town of Ajdabiya as part of coordinated strikes against Moammar Gadhafi's forces. The images, which were filmed on Thursday, show Tornado GR4 jets bombing pro-Gaddafi Libyan battle tanks a few miles south of Ajdabiya. Other footage released by the MoD shows Tornadoes returning from Libya to Gioia Del Colle airbase in Italy after a mission in which British aircraft destroyed at least two Libyan Main Battle Tanks.

Islamic world in tripod war

"Do we need to be in Libya?" asks Jake Diliberto, a military analyst. US lawmakers need to have objectives they can clearly communicate to their electorate, he explains, with Libya, they have not done so.the intervention is nothing but the Pentagon's effort to preserve oil for the future, and it will not be a short term operation, he argues - it will last for a long time.

No 'Idea' How Long U.S. Military Could Be Involved in Libya

Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Sunday that nobody has "any idea" how long the United States military could be involved in Libya, though he stressed that Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi's forces have been crippled by U.S.-led airstrikes. 

Asked whether he expects the mission to be over by year's end, Gates said, "I don't think anybody knows the answer to that."

European Dis-Union in Libya

After more than a week of shameless haggling by its squabbling members, the NATO alliance reluctantly agreed to take over the least risky part of the military operations in Libya: the enforcement of a no-fly zone to protect civilians from attacks by a Libyan Air Force that no longer exists.
But in classic transatlantic political fudge, European and American leaders say NATO will not assume command of riskier ground attacks in Libya. For the time being, such heavy hitting will continue to be done by a coalition of countries led by the United States, even though the American president insists that his country is not in charge of the military intervention in Libya.

Por que US ayuda a la Jihad en Libia

Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, el líder rebelde de Libia, ha dicho que los yihadistas que lucharon contra las tropas aliadas en Irak están en la vanguardia de la lucha contra el régimen de Muammar Gaddafi.

by Augusto
Quería añadir otra paradoja que estamos viviendo a nivel internacional. Desde el antecedente Obama/Gadaffi, resulta que las Naciones Unidas conceden a los terroristas y subversivos todos los derechos dejando a las naciones indefensas. Igual lo que juzguemos de  Gaddafhi, desde el punto de vista jurídico es el gobernante reconocido de una Nación que se enfrenta a un grupo de subversivos armados yél  hace lo que haría cualquier jefe de Estado y es defenderse de los subversivos, ejercer el Poder del Estado delegado por sus ciudadanos para  imponer  el estado de Derecho. El grupo Obama ha resuelto definir universalmente quienes son tiranos y quienes democratas y resulta que los gobernantes son los tiranos y los subversivos son los democratas. Con el criterio de que Gaddafhi debe irse porque gobierna desde hace 42 a. tambien deben irse los Reyes saudíes y hasta la Reina de Inglaterra. La OTAN ha juzgado por si misma quienes son los justos y quienes los injustos y ha empleado todas sus armas para derrocar un gobierno constituído de un país soberano . Podrian haber salido en defensa de los gobiernos de Centro America acosasdos desde hace decadas por grupos “revolucionarios” o mafias de las drogas, podría haber salido en defensa del pueblo venetzolano  oprimido por un dictador comunista, que se aferra al poder mediante el fraude, podrian haber defendido a los revolucionarios de Iran cuyo gobierno realiza 800 ejecuciones por mes ,y mantiene encerrados y bajo torturas a innumerable cantidad de sus ciudadanos . Sin embargo ataca a un país del Medio Oriente cuyo presidemte  no le cae simpatico a nadie porque es un loco fanfarrón, pero que se mantiene en el Poder por concenso y alianzas. Este jefe de tribu beduína  de pronto ha sido catalogado como dictador y se ha sentenciado que como tal debe ser derribado por las fuerzas internacionales .

Troops head to Libya as coalition 'creates zone of chaos & instability'

For a fifth night, explosions and gunfire have shaken Tripoli and other Libyan cities as coalition forces conduct more airstrikes.

The Libyan military’s attacks and the mounting civilian deaths call into question whether the internationally imposed no-fly zone can achieve its goal of protecting civilians, let alone help loosen Gaddafi’s grip.
