But that hardly makes it moot. People cited those as reasons not to go in in the first place. It was naive to believe this excursion wouldn't have mission creep.

So much for "no boots on the ground."

(CBS/AP)

WASHINGTON - The United States may consider sending troops into Libya with a possible international ground force that could aid the rebels, according to the general who led the military mission until NATO took over.

Army Gen. Carter Ham also told lawmakers Thursday that added American participation would not be ideal, and ground troops could erode the international coalition and make it more difficult to get Arab support for operations in Libya.

It looks to me like its headed for either stalemate (aka quagmire, where NATO - including us - props up an eastern Libya perpetually at war with Gadaffi-held Libya) or an outright Gadaffi victory.
