Bombing Moe: Nugent against it. But if we have to, ‘kill all those people.’
Ted Nugent, kinda late to the game, in the WaTimes:
If the real goal of the United Nations is to topple the Libyan leader, kill him and all his henchmen. Flatten the area of Tripoli where it is believed he is holed up with a human shield surrounding him. Kill all those people and get it over with. Implement total war for a week, and cockroach Gadhafi will be entombed in a pile of rubble.
“Africa in an international scab,” he adds.

I guess the real reason for the USA amibigious approach to the invasion (on-going) and regime-change operation in Libya, is the need perceived by the US high comand; that they may be needed most urgently to land on the Saudi Arabian sub-continent, as well as provide limited US Marine corps operations in the Gulf, as well as further support for Israel, all much bigger possibilities than the 6000 year-old ‘Land of five ports’ ?

Re: the 4% Brits.
Or put another way, the US fired off less than 4% of its inventory of Tomahawks and the Brits fired off more than 9% of theirs. Not quite so one-sided now, is it?

No, still one-sided. Still an order of magnitude difference. The Brit contingent is virtually token, looking at the order of battle at Globalsecurity. You’re right in there with the Italians but behind the French now. Look, there’s no shame in not being capable of being a war machine like the US.
