A not unreasonable POV.  Frankly, if we were going to get as involved as we did, we should have gone whole hog and provided arms and training to the TNG.  I would have thought Europe would have learned the lesson about half-measures after what happened in Yugoslavia.  They only drag out conflicts, not solve them.

Yeah, this is my general opinion.  I think the US should have sent a couple carrier groups and NATO/allies also brought more force to bear.  IMO, Gaddafi's regime was at the tipping point several months ago and we should have applied overwhelming force to knock him over.  "We" allowed him to regroup and consolidate.  This has prolonged the conflict and in the long run led to more bloodshed as well as an erosion in public opinion.
