Obama: Libya is Not Iraq

My biggest concern is that the rebels aren’t competent enough to get the job done. I think that even if we ship the arms and ammo they still won’t be capable of finishing the job no matter how much air support we give them. There’s also an issue of what a post Q’Daffy Libya would look like. If it dissolves into sectarian fighting and ethnic cleansing it could be a hell of a mess. I’d be happy to see Q’Daffy go but I’m not overly optimistic at this point. I suppose countries are going to have to eventually learn to live in democratic societies eventually but it’s going to be a very painful process.
