Libyan government forces continued attempts to advance against Brega and Misrata while NATO was reorganizing and re-thinking its effort. NATO leadership attempted to reduce the number of “cooks in the kitchen” while attempting to adapt to the Duck’s new “human shield” strategems.

Improvise, adapt, overcome. The big brains at the Pentagon and NATO High Command are being out-generalled by a bunch of desert hillbillies in Toyota pick-em-trucks with machine-guns mounted in the bed.

We declared war on a country that ain't done nothing to us. We had no good idea of how to fight the war, or end it. Our one Big Idea is to deliver humanitarian aid by F-15. Our back-up Big Idea is to shrug our shoulders and go 'dur'.
It's like our Betters have never played a board game more complicated than Monopoly.
