At a certain point, I think I'll have something more detailed to say about what's going on in Libya- but events are moving way too fast- but as of this morning, there are a couple of things worth mentioning...
First, Colonel Nutbag was really worried about a full US Invasion. I don't think he should have been- even if McCain would have won, only the most idiotic politician would have put boots on the ground for a full-scale third land war in the Middle East. I think McCain would have been less wishy-washy and more unilateral about our involvement- and certainly more forceful, but Obama deserves credit for getting behind British and French efforts to intervene and giving the whole thing a much needed shove in the right direction. Had we stayed in, we could have wrapped this thing up real quick- but that's another story.
Second, apparently Colonel Nutbag had a thing for Condi Rice. Who knew?
At this point, I'd have to say it's looking increasingly like a done deal for the Libyan NTC- there's Sirte, but things in Tripoli are looking increasingly stable by all reports.
But watch AJE, Al-Arabiya and the Beeb- just in case things change on us again.
