The rout of the rebels Tuesday illustrated how much they rely on international air power. Only a day earlier, they had been storming westward in hopes of taking Sirte, Gaddafi’s hometown and a bastion of his support in central Libya. They reached within 60 miles (100 kilometers) of the city before they were hit by the onslaught from Gaddafi’s forces, driving them back east to Bin Jawwad under barrages of rocket and tank fire.

Listen, I haven’t served in the military but I’ve read enough military biographies and history books to understand that one of the greatest dangers of any army is getting too far ahead of itself. What the MSM labeled “winning” yesterday looks more like a trap today.
