Invasion: Mission Creep

I suppose if the mission is to do whatever is necessary to do whatever it is you want then there is no such thing as mission creep.  If, on the other hand, the mission is to create a no fly zone and on the second day you're bombing tanks and strafing columns then the mission has creeped. Given how well things like this tend to go, there is almost surely no reason to expect anything to go wronger and, given all the care Obama and Co have given to explaining the whos, whats, whys, and related etc. of the matter(s) involved there is not a reason in the world to think that this won't all end in tears. Nope.
