Operation Odyssey Dawn. Why the hell are we embarking on any sort of odyssey at all? This certainly goes against the stated role of only "helping out" the international community for a few days, and the coalition is rapidly disintegrating. Odyssey sounds an awful lot like a mission without end, which really seems startlingly accurate actually, considering the US's ambiguity over the the stated goal of the mission.
Then we have the French mission. Operation Harmattan. Wiki says, "The Harmattan is a dry and dusty West African trade wind. It blows south from the Sahara into the Gulf of Guinea between the end of November and the middle of March." Now of course, this operation was begun at the end of the season's wind, but Libya of course is in the Sahara, while the Ivory Cost rests on the nothern edge of the Gulf of Guinea.

So we have the flanks of northern Africa destablized by rebels, an scorching opening salvo by American forces ahead of their "Odyssey" into the heart of the Sahara. Then we have the French operation named after a wind that carries down to the Ivroy Coast, which is NAMED as one of the next to have a revolution. From there we go all the way down to almost the southern tip of Africa to the other named, Zimbabwe.
Now we are left with eastern Africa, where pirates Djibouti have been rocking the boat for some time now putting Somalia on the map of potential targets. And then we have Sudan, who, along with Libya, is one of the last countries in the world on that short list of nations who do not have a central bank owned by the Rothschilds.
Want me to draw you a picture?
