The phrase "asset depletion" has taken on a whole new meaning in tragic, war-torn Libya.
The American military uses the term to describe the systematic destruction of an opponent's fighting capability, usually by remote warfare weapons such as cruise missiles, drones or "smart" bombs.
In Libya, the damage has been done by Nato attacks using some of those techniques, as well as by more conventional assaults in support of the western-sponsored rebels.
