The mixed signals from the US and European countries, not to mention the Arab League are so mixed that it's going to enable Gadhafi. As I've mentioned, the Israeli weakness in dealing with Hamas in Lebanon did or rather destroyed decades of credibility as an invincible force which has guaranteed their protection for decades. Now Hamas openly challenges Israel as we saw this week.
What the europeans and US are doing is mind-boggling. The mixed messages from the US alone are incredible, but now all of Europe and the Nato coalition has fallen apart in a matter of days putting the Libyan rebels in a very insecure place. There' already reports they are falling back from offensive operations.
Gadhafi may actually survive this due to the incompetence of the coalition of the unsure.
Story Continues....
This also sets a dangerous precedent to other despot leaders now facing revolt, such as the Syrians. The end result will most likely be a stepped up use of deadly force against protesters, knowing there will be little or no international will to stop it.
NATO, the US and the Coalition should take a day and read the book, "We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families"
