Where do I even start? After banging my head against the wall I have come up with some questions. Are we at war with nobody, or everybody in Lybia? If this is an impartial air war why can't we just arm both sides until they are roughly equal, and then kill the winners? We are conduction combat ops while being impartial and not wanting regime change? WTF!!!???

The President is an erudite, well-spoken @$$. By now even his supporters should recognize that.

When you lose the rationale for using overwhelming force, then it really becomes unjustified...

Does this mean that both sides will be bombed and strafed equally?

So the A-10 Thunderbolts and AC-130 gunships are enforcing a no-fly zone? WTF?

Thank the Lord BHO was able to get around non-consult with Congress and the Constitution by using NATO. Headed by an American with most expenses born by the USA. Notice how quickly the Constitutional bitching dropped down? Just create another crisis and viola!

If we’re going to be “ Impartial “ does that mean we’re just going to smoke anything that moves?!!

This just keeps getting worse.

That’s the beauty of any deaths. They are impartial. Very comforting when you don’t even know who your enemy may be?

Yeah, we can believe Obama and Rasmussen or our lying eyes. We are serving as the rebel air arm in a civil war.

It must be tough for NATO to choose targets with so few Christians around.

Another dishonest statement, daffys air force is destroyed, the no fly zone will be used by the French to commit murder. No air force, no reason for a no fly zone. Unless you use it to cover stealing oil.

Liar. Plausible deniability (NOT) while helping
al Qaeda. WHICH MAKES NATO an enemy of the American people.

No air force, no reason for a no fly zone

Exactly! And I thought day ago Obama was going to use that to get out of this thing
