It's VL Day Already!

This is our military commander's assessment of the Libyan civil war:

General Carter Ham, head of U.S. Africa command, told a Senate hearing Washington should not provide arms to the rebels without a better idea of who they were.

Asked if there was an emerging stalemate, he replied: "I would agree with that at present, on the ground."

Mission accomplished, then! Remember, Secretary Clinton said our goal in intervening was to provide a level playing field between loyalists and rebels. How much more level is a stalemate?

Who needs that victory stuff? Nuance is sweet!
