re: #46 HoosierHoops

Hi Austin!
You know what is weird? I don’t think without NATO this could happen..Have you seen the videos of these guys? unorganized..Firing these weapons randomly from the middle of some street..Untrained..
It would seem any second rate army could wipe them out…
I don’t think we are giving NATO enough credit…And the Right wants to dissolve them..Yup that’s right..Like we have so many friends in Europe..

The thing is that the Obama/Clinton went all James Baker on NATO, just as GHWB did with Desert Shield/Storm. We told NATO that this was *their* front door and while we would give them logistical and intelligence support, that Libya was their lead.

And it has taken awhile, but its their success. They protected the Rebs in the east while destroying Mo’s Air Force and armor. They armed the refugees in Tunisia and opened up a second front. Rebels on both fronts were provided with heavy weapons, ammo, food, water, and most importantly a logistics and communication network that has allowed them to coordinate attacks.

They may look like random mooks in pickup tricks, but they are in fact a very well armed and coordinated little army. You can tell this is so because they are kicking a modern army’s ass.

NATO deserves the vast majority of the credit for this. They have done very well.
