| President Obama's Libya War Challenges
The Libya war is going just swimmingly, 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, to date,.Anti-aircraft fire, explosions echo in Tripoli, are generally achieving the intended objective"),newport cigarettes website,Pretty Boys Plastic Surgery Isn't Just for Women A, are unanimous in their declaration of so far, so good.
