No Fly Equals Many Years

[From article]
"In two years over Bosnia, our aviators flew no less than 100,000 sorties; the no-fly zone in Iraq lasted 12 years until we finally removed Saddam Hussein. Unless we are committed to do the same with Moammar Khadafy, our service personnel are going to be going in harm's way in Libya for a long time to come.
[. . .]
When the time comes to remove Khadafy from power, expect at least a brigade-size force of American boots on the ground to help out."
