Hey DUmbasses, throughout *'s wars all we heard was

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

...how rag-tag ragheads were more than a match for the US military because you can't kill an idea (but you can crack the skull it lives in), they were logistically light while we were too heavy, they were ideologically motivated but the US is staffed by the poor and mercenary, etc etc etc.

All you did was complain about the folly of the US military to overcome insurgents.

So how come your Libyan rebels are getting their asses handed to them?

Lack of training, discipline, any real epsrit de corps, any unifying ideal, or command structure, nothing resembling a competent NCO or officer corps, no ability for tactical movement in force, nothing that resembles any doctrine, I could go on.  I'm not surprised Qadaffi is pushing them.  Airpower uber alles has never worked and never will.

But the US has all those things and the DUmbasses chided us for fighting an anti-insurgency war. We were told the US military could never compete.

Its like the Boy Scouts going up against the National Guard. The scouts might have an idea of what to do but the National  Guard has heavy weapons, air support and artillery.

[Mr Mannn]

What happens when the rebels fail?

Liberals will call for invasion.
or
the alternative is to cast our EU allies under the bus and let them face Qadaffi triumphant. All oil deals will be renegotiated. all oil fields will be nationalized. and terror will be unleashed on NATO countries.

I'm beginning to think Hillary set Obama up on this.

I'm beginning to think Hillary set Obama up on this.

I thought that from Day One.  And, I think that it's the ego of the Clenis behind all of this.  "You wouldn't step aside for my wife to give me eight more years in the White House, so your legacy will include losing the Med."
