BBC News: Reports that the US Secretary of Defence Robert Gates has announced that the US has sent two armed drones to the Libyan theatre. The drones have been very successful in the badlands of the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, they have hit the Taliban/Al Qaeda leadership hard and with great success. As the drones can fly lower than planes they will have a better chance at hitting the Gaddafi Security Forces in Misrata, the Eastern Rebels in Misrata need some military relief from the over powerful Gaddafi forces. The Military Advisers sent by the UK, France and Italy will help over time, but the question that has to be asked how much time do the rebels in the East of Libya have, and when will the Western rebels be ready to move from the East and take the Capitol of Tripoli in the West of Libya. The Obama re-elect committee must worry that this low scale war will be still going on next year and that the Republican Nominee will use the issue to show that POTUS is weak. One can postulate that Obama is not a Liberal Reagan but a CARTER MARK 2.
