Must be a full moon madness? Obviously any country most directly affected by a loss of Libyan oil should take more direct action.

Let's hope:

1. Ghaddaffi's troops take Benghazi before the no-fly zone gets into effect

2. Arab fighters are leading this attack -- it must not be seen as a "western-imperialist-crusader" colonial effort

3. The US doesn't have to pay in lives or $$s for this -- let the Arabs pay.

It will probably be another month of “meetings”, “studies” and consultation with allies before any strikes take place.

At another FR post it is reported that Egypt is sending arms and supplies. They had 1 million workers in Libya, not doubt sending money home. This should strongly motivate them to get this over with and Egyptians back to work. Then, while Libya only produces 2% of world oil, Europe gets 10% of their oil from Libya.

Let's not forget the Second Rule of French Warfare: France's armies are victorious when her allies do most of the fighting. However we should also consider the First Rule of Muslim Warfare: We can always beat the French!

Just wait untill our bombs kill the first civilian by mistake. Then it will be the “good old” flag burning and death to the USA chants again.
Face it those people hate us.

I hope the rebels get the snop beat out of them to the point of collapse. Then, I hope they stage a comeback and beat the snot out of government troops. Then, I hope it goes back the other way — all this until they are all gone.

So the French are going to have people stand out side and point in the direction of Libya. So pilots know which direction to the bad guys. Do they have any white sheets incase a missile hits Paris.

Because unlike our “leaders” it looks like you have some common sense.
