He has been converging on this city for weeks & is poised to smash the rebels once & for all.
Did anyone expect him to stop and let the islamics take over?

I hope that Hussien is not about to kill our soldiers by defending more radical muslims ...

I believe the Brits and French are in the progress of positioning some of their aircraft at MED bases, and a report has come out that the French have aircraft over flying at this point. Obviously we shall see a lot more news streaming in on what country is doing what over the skies of Libya soon.

Well, 0bama would be fighting with the communist and socialist rebels.

SEIU would be the shock troops. Look at Wisconsin.
