  4. [Q&A: What are U.S military options in Libya
    ______________________________________

    Chief of Naval Operations Gary Roughead indicated that the USS George H.W. Bush is still in Norfolk, Virginia. Is the sense here that the clock is ticking and it might be too late for the U.S. to mount a meaningful no-fly operation on its own?

    Lawrence: Part of Gates' comment about "not enough planes on one carrier" refers to the fact the United States would not undertake this mission unilaterally. So even if the USS GHW Bush arrived, the Pentagon would not want to solely depend on U.S. assets.
    They would be expecting to use some land bases in Italy, for example, which has recently suspended its "friendship treaty" with Libya. That conceivably opens up Italy to the ability to stage missions. And British Prime Minister David Cameron has already signaled the British military to start working up plans with allies in case a decision is reached to impose a no-fly zone.


    Question: What are the main issues that need to be addressed if the decision is made to enforce a no-fly zone?
    Lawrence: There would need to be numerous answers to "rules of engagement" questions first:
    -- What's considered a "hostile act"?
    -- Is it Libyans firing on other Libyans -- or coalition planes?
    -- Would the U.S. jets be able to fire on Libyan air assets on the ground, before they take off?
    There is a sense that before any no-fly zone is imposed, the United States and its allies need to answer a fundamental question: Is this no-fly zone being enforced to protect the Libyan people on humanitarian grounds? Or is it being enforced to help the Libyan people overthrow Gadhafi?
    It sounds simple, but each answer can come with vastly different rules of engagement.

    Can't believe it. I'll be adding this to NoDoji's new trader gaffs thread. Got shaken out on that mini pullback. Moved my stop up too soon, which I tried to cancel but didn't get to it in time, and it closed it out at 102.94 one tick above the pullback. Dumb, dumb, dumb. :( Sheesh! Oh, well. :)

    Great entry. Horrible exit. :)
