LOL'Strategic bombing' is a term meaning things like what was done in WWII to the German and Japanese cities. I.e. kill hundreds of thousands of civilians using area bombing. There is no question of this being used in Libya, it's not even on the table.
What will be done is targeted bombing of air-defences and pro-regime military units.
In other words, we will run the ball down the field, and when we score, you can spike the ball.

ON BOARD A MILITARY AIRCRAFT ââ¬â U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Sunday that the U.S. expects to turn control of the Libya military mission over to a coalition ââ¬â probably headed either by the French and British or by NATO ââ¬â "in a matter of days."
In his first public remarks since the start of the bombings, Gates said President Barack Obama felt very strongly about limiting America's role in the operation, adding that the president is "more aware than almost anybody of the stress on the military."
"We agreed to use our unique capabilities and the breadth of those capabilities at the front of this process, and then we expected in a matter of days to be able to turn over the primary responsibility to others," Gates told reporters traveling with him to Russia. "We will continue to support the coalition, we will be a member of the coalition, we will have a military role in the coalition, but we will not have the preeminent role."

Anyone see a pattern of countries awarding contracts to the Chinese over American interests suddenly becoming military targets?
