I've heard many Pols of all stripes say it's not to take Daffy out. Yet, I couldn't quite figure out why all the effort was being put forth when it wouldn't take a substantial amount more to finish the job. The I see this:

Last time we shot a missile there we put it right into his bedroom window. Too bad he wasn't there. So now we're hitting his residential complex "unintentionally"? I don't buy it, someone is hoping Moammar will be collateral damage.

Supposedly this is some sort of "compound" that had some unidntified "military purpose"; Ghaddaffi himself was not the target.

At this point, I'd take this at face value since military dictators tend to mix their military and personal lives liberally.

Latest on this appears to be that it was a British missile anyhow.

And they have no reason **cough Lockerbie cough** to want him dead.

I don't think it's too far fetched to assume he has an airforce command center there.

Obama just wants to bomb brown people.

I bet his real birth certificate was in Libya and this was Obamas plan all along.
