French military intervention in Libya starting soon?

[Mr. Perfect]

In the modern sensitive wars it is very important not to hurt people. Soft power and all that. Gotta look good on Charlie Rose.

I think it's been obvious from the start that Gaddafi was going to go. The Libyan armed forces are weak and the Libyan government's grip on the country is very weak. So NATO will do the bare minimum to nudge the situation towards governmental collapse. This is the first time in a long time something like this has happened. The last time was in the Balkans, and it worked.

This is practically effortless for NATO. I'd say it's going quite well, considering the parameters of the situation.

I think Paul Wolfowitz hacked CM's account. That is the only reasonable explanation.

I think it's more of the post Cold-War fantasy that we can have the results of a war without actually going to war.

The best (that is, mostly in his own eyes) of our philosophers, and certainly the most mediatic of them, who promoted armed intervention in Libya to Sarkozy, and has ever since not forgotten a single day to parade like a peacock about it, . According to him, in a new phase of the operation which is to begin "these days", these officers "will arrive in the Control Room of the Headquarters of Free Libya".

He seems unencumbered by any doubt that announcing this kind of news, and deciding what is the most appropriate time, is his job.

The military is confirming, while suggesting the only goal is to avoid fratricide... that it's only about being present in this headquarters... In short, they are doing what they can to limit the damage of political communication managed the chimpanzee way.
