AP – 1 hr 8 mins ago.TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — NATO warplanes bombed three Libyan state TV satellite transmitters in Tripoli overnight, targeting facilities that have been used to incite violence and threaten civilians, the military alliance said Saturday.

I'm surprised they didn't do it the first week. Taking out command, control and communication centers is always a good strategic move.

It appears the Europeans forgot the lessons of WWII, they can't win a war with air power alone. At some point they have to put boots on the ground. Relying on an untrained force of rebels to do this isn't sufficient. Either they cut the head off the snake by taking out Gadhafi or by sending in troops to do what the US did for the Allies in World War One, "the War to End War".

Our involvement in Libya is very limited.....as it should be. The failure of "NATO" is a failure of our European allies. Hopefully, the lesson they will take from this is that they need to quit sucking off the tit of the American tax payers and ramp up their own military forces.

No easy answers for U.S. involvement in Libya, Syria - USATODAY.com

For the U.S., policy options are limited. It has already played its military card, leading the early stages of NATO's intervention by bombing Gadhafi's air defense capabilities. Since then it has played a more auxiliary role in the alliance, pitching in with plane refueling, reconnaissance and some drone strikes. And there is fierce resistance from Congress to ramping up U.S. aerial attacks anew.

A Canadian is in charge of the NATO mission in Libya. The US is playing a supporting role.
