Targeting Gaddafi not part of mission - US general

Well, that's just dumb. Why in the hell wouldn't we be targeting qaddafi? When he is out of the picture the rest of his thugs won't know what to do. You the old saying, "Cut of the head and the snake dies"? I think it applies in this case. Everybody and their granny wants this guy out of power, targeting him seems like the best way to accomplish that mission...

The Army general leading the U.S. forces enforcing a no-fly zone over Libya said on Monday it would not be ideal for Muammar Gaddafi to remain in power but attacking the Libyan leader was not part of his mission.

U.S. Army General Carter Ham also said the military coalition imposing the no-fly zone flew 70 to 80 sorties on Monday, with non-U.S. forces flying more than half of them. He said he expected a decline in the frequency of attacks on Libya in the coming days.
