How long do you think this Libya 'no-fly zone thing' will last?

[Electric Monk]

I'm not really sure what to call it. Operation Odyssey Dawn doesn't describe it enough for me.

Whatever.

Back to the question in the title. I included some poll options I consider HIGHLY unlikely, but I wanted to cover the whole spectrum.

This will last...

1. It's called a proxy war.

2. As soon as Gaddafi and his family are gone. n/t

3. Just like Iraq was over with the capture of Saddam Hussein?

[Adsos Letter]

5. No.

Edited to add: I do not believe we have any desire or intention to occupy Libya.

4. It'll last for however long the special interests want it to last

[Arctic Dave]

6. As long as it takes to renegotiate the tax structure on the oil produced.

[LAGC]

8. BINGO!

Libya was taking too big a cut of its own oil revenues, so the foreign powers want a better deal.

9. No idea. That is why it shouldn't be taken lightly.
