TRIPOLI, Libya — Moammar Gadhafi's troops launched a powerful assault with tanks and rockets Friday on Misrata, the last major rebel city in western Libya, sending residents fleeing to increasingly crowded safe areas of the city that are still out of the Libyan leader's reach, witnesses said.
Misrata has become emblematic of the limits of NATO's air campaign, with the alliance's top military commander saying he needs more precision attack aircraft to avoid civilian casualties in urban combat. President Barack Obama acknowledged in an interview that the two-month-old civil war has reached a stalemate.

As a military veteran, I have to ask Mr. President, WTF are you doing?
This has to be one of the most disjointed, inept attempts to dislodge a dictator in recent history. I don't have a clue what you are doing and sadly, I don't think you do either.
