Which is always a big part of gathering intel and finding targets, but there are things that are hidden or cannot be verified by air, which is where the guys on the ground come in.French collected recon for targets with aircraft.
Ok, I'm no fan of Gad-daffy, but am I the only one who sees the problem for the U.S. with these strikes? What does the rest of the muslim world think of the "Great Satan" lobbing missiles at yet another muslim nation?110 Cruse Missiles fired on targets and much more.
Gaddafi now knows what his own boot up his ass feels like.
Just watched the Press conference:

Sounded to me like Gaddafi is saying he is upset that we are messing his toys up.
Check out the story below.

Analysis: Finally outgunned, survivor Gaddafi plays for time
to see that Saudi citizens are being paid in several ways.Saudi Arabia + money for citizens
Exactly!!!!!!!!!!! If the Arab League is so Gung Ho about this invasion, why are Western forces leading the assault? They've been bitching and moaning about Iraq and Afghanistan, and I don't blame them, for the better part of a decade. We could be part of the "coalition" forces and still not be involved in frontline combat operations like this. I'm sorry, but I think this is bullshit! This has got me really fired up but I'm reserving final judgement until we see how the U.S. role plays out in all of this. Taking out Saddam was a stretch but this guy has no weapons program, has been contained for over 2 decades and we really have no current beef with Gaddafi!My biggest worry is the civilian casualties. I can't help but feel this is wrong. Saudi Arabia has a well equipped military complex. Why are they not leading the assault? Why aren't other middle eastern countries not helping out? If things go really bad (and I'm sure they will), we'll be the ones blamed. This is fucked up.
