Gaddafi Humiliates West

A tin horn, comic opera dictator has withstood all the West could throw at him for months. Gaddafi remains in Tripoli solely because the United States and her Western allies are possessed of a total lack of resolve, subjugate national interests to the United Nations, and try to fight wars on the cheap. Gaddafi may well celebrate Obama's loss in the 2012 US plebiscite while still ruling over a piece of his divided country. If America and her European allies are not willing to finish the task they selected for themselves, they must at least arm and train the rebels to depose Gaddafi. Once you declare removal of Gaddafi as the US and multilateral aim, you must complete that quest. You sink if you half cross the Rubicon.
