![]() Just announced. UN Security Council passed no fly zone in a 10 to 0 vote. Expect bombing of air defense sites to begin soon.

![]() Not that I agree with this, but I'm a military aviation nut, so I can't want to see Libya's Mirages and MiG-23s get blasted out of the sky by Raptors they didn't-and never will-see.

![]() The only questions people asked were why the USA did not lead the effort, and why it took so long. There is a chance it is too little too late. Gaddaffi may just use tanks now instead of jets. One report said that he went all out with the airstrikes to get done what needed to be done prior to a no fly zone.
Hell maybe we wanted a bunch of the hardcore rebels to die before we entered. I am open minded because I used same logic to defend Bush. For all we know Obama a friggin Genius for playing it this way. We have no idea because we don't get CIA briefings. They may have told Obama look let it break down some more, some really bad guys are being killed right now. Guys who want to take Libya over when Gaddaffi falls. Let them be weakened a bit before we act. I'm not defending the lack luster approach, only asking people to understand Obama gets 100 times more information then we do. It sort of looks like maybe France wanted to take the lead to send a message, and USA let them. Not a bad idea considering Libya more there problem regionally then ours. I'm starting to come around to the way Obama slow played this hand. I think it is important that even if we don't like the President we take the time to look at all the angles that may be presented, and be big enough to say maybe I called him a p***Y on this topic a tad to quick. |

That's how our revolution was. We started the fight, and suffered many setbacks and sacrificed a great deal before teh French came to help and without their help we would have failed. |

![]() It Gaddaffi decides to go out with a bang maybe he attacks outside of Libya. He would fail IMO but you never know.

Pretty much once it was obvious war was going to happen, we sent emissaries to the french. It took proving we could win on our own to secure french aid. ![]() |

![]() That's the way it should be. C'mon. We barely trust these idiots and a-holes to run our own country, much less jump into the politics of another one unless the situation is crystal clear.

![]() If they were going to do this, they should have done it a week ago. Typical UN. Sit on your ass debating when you should move and then moving when it's too late. This is why the UN is borderline irrelevant.
