Target limitations defined for political reasons again gag the airwar effort.
I am still against delivering sophisticated weapons and sending own ground combat forces, but special teams and target markers are fine, also trainers, trainers, trainers. But do not train them more than what they need to beat Gaddafi's army.
Unleash the full power of Europe-based airforce potential, and do not let Western politicians again come between the inbound bombers and their targets.
Or say you do not want to support the rebels due to their dubious identity and concerns on their possible radical background.
What it comes down to, is this: either do war with all determination and power, or don't do it at all.
Maybe I should have known it, but I still cannot believe that we again have managed to turn a war operation into a bloody mess for political concerns only. Before we gear up and head for a war next time, maybe it is a good idea to start by shooting all our own politicians first and then care for the battle.
