Let me get this straight:

1. France and the UK call for a war against Khadaffi and browbeat the USA into shouldering most of the burden. The UN gives authority to use air power to protect civilians Khadaffi is allegedly massacring. Hillary says Khadaffi must go, along with the UK and France.

2. Obama gets cold feet and says 'Days, Not Weeks' then pretends that US military involvement has ceased. Bill Mahrer insists it's over and stop talking about Libya on his show. Germany pulls it's troops.

3. France and the UK use the UN resolution to hunt Khadaffi down with bombs. Other NATO nations start looking for a way out. It is revealed that the USA never drew down it's forces. Obama spins this by saying Khadaffi must go.

4. The Libyan rebels turn out to be ridiculous homos. They start cutting deals with Yemen and Sudan over oil sales they've absconded from Libya.

5. France declares that the Libyan rebels must make peace with Khadaffi as if this whole idea about starting a war with Libya isn't theirs. Panetta says that the USA will have to fill in the gaps when the UK and France soon pull out after exhausting themselves.

So, once again, America gets sucked into a faraway war on behalf of a French military failure to support a bunch of pussies who won't fight and want to let the USA shoulder the fighting against a divided country in 'police action' that Americans don't understand, don't want to be in, without Congressional approval, in order to prevent a 'Domino Effect' from sweeping the region?

Can we officially call this 'Obama-Nam', yet?

The British and French are not the ‘tired’ allies.

The British and French have been and still are and still can bear the brunt of the fighting. Both ourselves and the French have recently reinforced both naval and air units and the two nations still have naval units available for use (for example, we have almost all of ‘Task Force Cougar’ still available sitting in the Eastern Med).

The French lower house has just voted over 90% in favor in continuing France’s actions in Libya. The upper house is expected to also approve. Diplomatic efforts are also being pursued.

Meanwhile, the Nafusa mountain rebels (the most promising of the 3 centers of resistance) hopes to move on a major town only 50 miles from Tripoli. This long detailed article describes their efforts to be more disciplined and planful. They complain about lack of bombing by NATO of Gaddafi artillery units bombarding them as hampering their efforts. Perhaps with the French vote, action against Gaddafi will pick up again.
