Gadhafi  executed a classic military maneuver today.

            He moved his lead forces in close with the opposition and the civilian population.

            Two things happen when you 'close the distance' with your enemy if you are suffering from air     strikes.

                        1.  You make it much harder for precision weapons to strike intended targets.

                                    Two trucks near each other that look identical, one being a good guy the other                                          being the bad guy, makes it very hard for the pilot to decide what target to hit.  

                        2.  You insure you enemy will inflict civilian casualties and the media will cover that part                           of the attack far more than the actual targets themselves.

            So this morning when you hear how his forces are  being seen moving into the two major 'rebel' strongholds, you understand now what he is trying to accomplish. He is hiding his forces amonsgt the opposition.

This tells us two key strategic facts.

            1. The Mad Dog believes the strikes are not over.

            2.  He anticipates more than just clearing out anti air ops to create a No Fly Zone.

                        He believes Air to Ground attacks are the real goal here, not just a No Fly Zone.
