The UN Resolutions that the U.S. and NATO are enforcing calls for the protection of innocent civilians… Fair enough, but the situation described here is straight forward mutual combat by two opposing Armies; The defending Libyan Military IN the city and the attacking Rebels outside of the city. The Libyan Army is firing it’s weapons out of the city at Rebels while the Rebels are firing into the city. The only viable threat to innocent civilians is from the untrained Rebels fire.

The videos make it clear that the untrained, undisciplined Rebels are pointing their rocket launchers, motars and anti-aircraft guns, not aiming them, at the Libyan Army in the city. Their fire is ineffective and often lands who knows where. The Libyan fire appears to be both disciplined and effective which indicates aimed fire from a disciplined, trained Army…no surprise here.

The untrained Rebels firing haphazardly into the city creates a significant risk to the innocent civilians yet the Rebels are not targeted for attack by U.S. and NATO while the Libyan Army is targeted. The question is Why … if the U.S. and NATO mission is to protect innocent civilians and not the overthrow of the Libyan government as stated by Obama and Clinton?

Why won’t the President clearly state what the real mission, goals and end strategy of his War in Libya is? If the mission is truly humanitarian then direct the U.S. and NATO forces to attack ANY armed force that is threatening the lives of innocent civilians, Libyan Army or Rebels a like, simple and straight forward. If the mission is to overthrow the Libyan government say so and attack only the Libyan military when and where ever possible …also simple and straight forward. Do not lie to the American Public and our Military by trying to do one mission while claiming to be doing the other. Display the moral courage expected of an American President and state your true mission, goals and end strategy for your War in Libya!

For the record; I served for 34 years (‘69-’03) and retired with 100% disability due to wounds. I am the son of a Combat Veteran and the proud father of two still serving multiple tour Combat Veterans. I have strong opinions about how our country goes to War formed from both experience and formal education. What we are doing in Libya has all the red flags of a badly conceived, improperly planned and poorly executed War. The fault does not lie with the Military tasked with prosecuting the War, it rest’s squarely on the shoulders of the President and our political Leadership that have failed to provide a clearly defined mission statement, goals and end strategy for their War in Libya.
