File under: Arab Spring

How did it fail?

The Hens of War (Hillary, Valerie, Susan) sed Qadaffy had to go, that the US had a Responsibility To Protect. 'R2P' became the new buzzword.

The media sed Arab Spring wuz in the air! Surely that counted for something.

NATO got involved. Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Norway, Qatar and Spain all cheered and milled around importantly on the sidelines. The Brits, the French, the Canadians (but not the French Canadians) were with us on the field.

The UN passed a resolution. State even sent an ambassador beloved by the militias afterwards.

I'm shocked, utterly shocked, that things have turned out the way they have.
