The End for Colonel Gaddafi ?


Guardian: Has an interesting analytical piece on how the crisis is Libya has become personal between Western Leaders and Colonel Gaddafi, the article states the following, “ The US and its allies will not relent until they "get Gaddafi" and their nemesis is captured, jailed or dead. ”. This folks has to be the result, POTUS cant go in to an election year with Gaddafi still in Libya, the Republicans would say that he was weak and that he had to be forced in to taking action by the French of all people, the US voter does not re-elected weak leaders, go ask Jimmy Carter how he feels without having to justify his one term in office since 1981. As this military action has been approved by the UN, it’s the best chance to get Gaddafi, it has from the left point a view the holy writ of the UN Security Council, not something Iraq had in 2003. Thus for President Obama, PM Cameron etc this is personal, this shows them as world leaders, also it gets the French off the hook off being not trusted by either the US or the UK in a time of crisis. The Air operation should be given a few days, even weeks but if it does not work then the SAS, SBS, US Special Forces have to be sent it, behind the lines to destroy the Gaddafi armed forces. This is a fight to the death folks, and it can only be the head of Colonel Gaddafi on a pike.
