OK; HERE WE GO!

Remember today. Remember when the American People said, "we need to help those poor people in Libya".

I seem to remember the same sentiment soon after 9-11. That is not to compare 9-11 to events in Libya, but the American People have very short memories.

It very possible the Mad Dog may be overcome by events given the destruction of many of his military assets, but if he does survive, a wounded Dog is a very dangerous animal!

A few things to ponder here.

            1. He knew these strikes were probably coming and had ample time to move key assets away         from recently targeted sites.  

                        Don't bank on the fact that because over one hundred missiles were fired that his capabilities are  drastically reduced.

Battle Damage Assessment is a very tricky art and is usually not   reliable  without eyes and ears on the ground to confirm damage.

            2.  Many Arabs were in favor of a no fly zone, but large scale targeting of building complexes       may not sell as well in the press.

            3. You can bet, as I said a few days ago, the Mad Dog will produce civilian casualties, even if he has to kill them himself!

                        Get ready for the Al Jazerra clips of wounded children and Women. It's going to happen.

            4. Iran is taking real good notes. They just got a real good idea of how we target Command and    Control nodes in a hostile nation.

                        What we bombed in Libya will be quickly analyzed  by Iran.

            5.  Those in Libya that were sitting on the fence, not really carinig about the 'Rebels' but not          willing to get involved, will now get involved and do so on the side of the Government.

            It's like the old saying, " It may be a crapy Marriage, but it's my Marriage".

            Nothing sparks Nationalism faster than being attacked.

            Many there felt the conflict was an 'internal' affair.

            We just changed that opinion!

Ok; Don't get me wrong. I've been  for killing  the Mad Dog  since the day of Lockerby; but we are  now deep into what I consider a brilliant trap by the Iranians.

Yep; we, the West, not just the US, have executed just as Iran anticipated we would.

How in the world do we support Saudi, Bahrain, Yemen, Oman, Kuwait ect... ect...  and finally Israel after bombing Libya?

Don't get fooled by some talking head saying, " this is a much different situation. He was killing 'innocent' civilians.

In the eyes of the Arabs, particularly the Shi, there is no difference.

I can't tell you where the military action in Libya may head.

How things start are not near as important as how they end up or how they change.

I can predict one thing for sure.

Over the course of the next few months, Iran is going to make HUGE gains based on the

actions of the ' Colonial Powers'.    Yep, that is the buz word name we will wear after today. Hell' we wear it not anyway.
