Vice Adm. William Gortney, staff director for the Joint Chiefs, insists that the U.S. is not coordinating attacks with the opposition forces or using airstrikes in direct support to help them gain ground.

Word mincing alert. Nah, pounding the piss out of Gadaffi's armor and little technicals couldn't possibly support the rebels in gaining ground.

Well, I don;t see any of our Congress coming out with questions about the legality of it so why would the average American (not us) believe there's something fishy going on.

The average American does not even know the difference between enforcing a No Fly Zone and an aerial intervention in a civil war.

Sadly, they depend on our Representatives to notice that and do something.

BS! If we have close in air support, you can bet your ass that there are americans on the ground calling in the strikes. That is how it works.

If he insists that we are not, then that means that we are.

If the Military Brass will do this , under the guise of "I was only obeying orders", then you can bet your ass that when they are given the order to open fire on Americans, they will.
