What about the tens of thousands of American citizens in Libya? Do they become hostages once we announce a military intervention? I am more concerned about their safety than that of Libyans.

My guess is that a NEO (Non Evacuation Operation) is most likely being performed as we speak if not done already. One Amphibious Naval group would be all thats needed to complete the task.

even more reason to put boots on the ground to protect those citizens....

I expect most of them are already gone, and I doubt there are tens of thousands to begin with. US companies don't have a significant presence in Libya. Many times more Italians.
