All those people who were begging for help to overthrow the dictator.

You mean, THESE people?

The rebels knew that is why they asked for Bush’s help.

Love that photo. However, several groups, including woman marching in the streets pleaded for a no-fly zone. The consensus view is they can handle Gaddafi forces on the ground, but wanted a no-fly zone to make it a "fair fight."

When Obama came out, in person, and declared Gaddafi must go, he committed the U.S. to making that happen. No reasonable person would think "sanctions" would do much besides harm the common Libyan. He could support Cameron and Sarkozy initiative for a no-fly zone even if the U.S. isn't the force that makes it happen.
