French Planes Fly Over Libya as Qaddafi Defies Cease-Fire Calls

French military jets flew over Libya, ready to enforce an air-exclusion zone to halt Muammar Qaddafi’s attacks on rebels, as Western leaders met in Paris to consider their next steps.
The planes were in the air not far from Libya this afternoon and were ready to carry out air strikes if there are orders from President Nicolas Sarkozy, a military official with knowledge of the preparations said on condition of anonymity.
Qaddafi’s forces attacked the rebel stronghold of Benghazi today in defiance of international demands for a cease-fire, television stations reported. Al Jazeera cited the head of the rebel council, Mustafa Abdel Jalil, as saying bombing raids took place in the eastern port city of 1 million people.
Strikes against Libya would mark the first military action by Western powers against an Arab government since the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
I understand Sarkozy can make things happen. If the International "club" doesn't act or agree to his liking, then he forms his own. He's a take charge kind of guy. He is said to take the extra steps toward peace, so if Sarkozy is becoming militarily active, then he has found reasons to take stronger action. He believes the Constitution is clear, and its provisions, a biblical doctrine, that must not be violated.I do not believe the French President is a fan of Obamas as when the riots in France occured because of labor changes, signs were being carried in support of the great President Obama [who was going make life easier, for those who don't like to work for a living]. I do believe, however, he had great respect for GW.
“I do not believe the French President is a fan of Obamas “
I love the Sarko quote about bammie;
“Est-il faible?”
Translation?
“Is he feebleminded?”
