Hmmm, I don't know what to say...

I think we forgot about another powerful force in the middle east. What about Israel? Are they doing anything about this?

Reuters just Tweeted - "Arab League chief says air strikes on Libya differ from the no-fly zone which was called for; aim was to protect civilians not bombard them"

How many people couldn't see this turning into an offensive mission?


wording of the resolution was "All necessary Measures to protect Civilians". air strikes fall into that category, and as so approved by the United Nations, and the strikes are against tanks anyways, which the Rebels have limited number of.

This has bad news written all over it. If we(NATO) aren't careful the Arab countries will use this as an excuse for what ever they have planned.

May want to update about the use of B-2's in dropping some 40-ish bombs on a major Libyan airfield. There's also apparently US fighters of some kind in the air now - Tornadoes should be overhead as well by now, Typhoons might as well.
