I become ever more concerned by this entanglement, as it drifts gently from NFZ to arms supply to ... somewhere
What next? A few spare Challengers from BFG being delivered at Benghazi docks?
Either NATO goes flat out for 'regime change', thus alienating a large swathe of the Arab community, or it does what it said on the box in NCR 1973 ... "No Fly", albeit with that fuzzily-worded rider about zapping ground forces threatening the 'civilian' population.
IMO, the dissident/rebellious/[insert preferred description] civilian population are NOT going to overthrow The Duck by driving around in pickups armed with AKs and RPGs as long as he has the Army behind him. Attacking his military vehicles with, apparently, free rein doesn't seem to be quite consonant with the original concept of 'protecting civilians'.
It's a pig's orphan eating a dog's breakfast at the moment.
