| President Obama's Libya War Challenges
The Libya war is going just swimmingly, militarily. Unfortunately,.Anti-aircraft fire, explosions echo in Tripoli,newports cigarette, it's more of a political war than a military one. If military might were the sole arbiter of the outcome,newport cigarettes free shipping,Pretty Boys Plastic Surgery Isn't Just for Women A, 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,original newport cigarettes,Pretty Boys Plastic Surgery Isn't Just for Women Anymore, 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,newports cigarettes, to date, are generally achieving the intended objective"), are unanimous in their declaration of so far, so good.

All wars are rolls of the dice, to be sure, 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, 124 to 8, in that category) do everything right, the outcome is beyond their control. |
