President Obama's Libya War Challenges,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The Libya war is going just swimmingly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], militarily. Unfortunately, it's more of a political war than a military one. If military might were the sole arbiter of the outcome, any alliance led by the U.S. would triumph. No one comes close to matching our military strength. But as we have learned after a decade in Afghanistan, firepower is rarely a key to victory.
U.S. military leaders from Defense Secretary Robert Gates ("I think we've made good progress") to Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff ("The initial operations have been very effective") to the Army general in charge of the campaign, Carter Ham ("Our actions,best newport cigarettes website186, to date, are generally achieving the intended objective"),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], are unanimous in their declaration of so far, so good.
So it's up to Obama to draw to an inside straight (or insert your favorite gambling metaphor here). All wars are rolls of the dice, to be sure,Pretty Boys Plastic Surgery Isn't Just for Women A, but sometimes you get a better hand than what Obama self-dealt. Because even if the U.S. military and its window-dressing allies (132 cruise missiles have been fired into Libya; the U.S. now leads Britain,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 124 to 8,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in that category) do everything right, the outcome is beyond their control.
