That really is my point.

Another billion dollars in military debt on our fancy guided KaPows!
Another few hundred dead muslims courtesy of American KaPow!
Another few thousand news reports showing the few hundred dead muslims courtesy of American KaPow!

And if we pack it up, <insert cool spelling of Qaddafi here> will slaughter them in a week.

If we stay, we do little more than keep the tribes on their segregated playgrounds...for the next decade. Oh good, another $300B in military debt in order to babysit tribes that can't seem to settle their differences without heads rolling.

If the rebels actually can muster enough people to make a run on the capital they will be slaughtered without close air support.

If the rebels actually take control of Libya, it's really just a tribal suppression swap...and now we get to bomb the people we spent $300b protecting for a decade.
