From article:
The United States was already sharing intelligence with the French when their warplanes on Sunday struck camps, depots and other militant positions deep inside extensive Islamist-held territory in northern Mali. Defense officials said no decisions had been made on whether the United States would also offer help with midflight refueling planes and air transport, but they said those options were under review.

The Left always had their pink panties in a twist when Pres. Bush only had 12 or 13 other countries involved with us in situations such as this. Why are they quiet as mice when Obama jumps into this fracas without any authorization? Oh, that’s right. They voted for him.

Deja Vu. Pray the historical results of Leftist idiocy aren’t about to be repeated.

"American spy planes and surveillance drones are in the meantime trying to get a sense of the chaos on the ground."
Mission. Creep. Somebody will have to take ground. And hold ground. It won't be the French. The Nigerians are the only alternative besides us, but after a few months of Nigerian occupation, the jihadists will start looking really, really good.

In what could draw the United States into another conflict in North Africa, the Obama administration has pledged to help the French who are fighting Islamist militants in Mali, and that assistance could include air and other logistical support, Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta said on Monday.I remain fascinated that leftists, who hold the military in disdain, have no qualms about sending them to war.
This just sounds like political schizophrenia, to me. "I hate you" but "I want you to go to war and make me look good!"
It reminds me of the old saying, "Live by the sword, die by the sword".
