But I mean, folks, as we told you yesterday, the rebels, who are they? I mean, suppose the rebels are the Muslim Brotherhood. It's a fascinating thing. Whose side do you choose here? It's not altogether clear. Do we sit around and want to openly help establish Middle Eastern regimes that are hostile to us? No, we don't, obviously we don't, but are we in the process of doing that? Only time will tell. Al Arabiya, quoting medical sources, says 25 people are dead in a bombardment of the Libyan city of Misurata after Khadafy forces ignored the ceasefires. It's clear that he head faked them. A doctor in Libya's Misurata says government forces are still shelling the city, 25 people killed. Khadafy forces bombing the city with artillery shells and tanks, 25 people dead at the hospital, including several little girls, the doctor said by satellite phone. And then an update: "Khadafy Forces Shell West Libya's Misrata (sic), 25 Dead." It just continues to pour in. And Mrs. Clinton says "it's not at all clear if the Libyan ceasefire announcement is being matched by actions on the ground." She's obviously learned diplomatic-speak. Not at all clear if the Libyan ceasefire announcement is being matched by actions on the ground.

You could tell he was backpedaling. He was talking fast.
You heard it right. He had been on a pro NFZ for awhile now. Pontificating daily about it.
I was getting ready to clean out my ears thinking “whoa, that was a quick change”.
The talk from the day before that we were and has always been front and center in these world issues and that this was a failure. Never mind we are flat broke. He did a complete 180 over night!
I had to turn him off when he started on that. It really irritated me.
Now he got what he wanted and we will all be sorrier for it.
I think it was very much a shambolic organisation at the beginning but with the defection of entire cities with administrative functions in tact and especially experienced army officers I don’t think it should be too surprising at how quickly they seemed to get their act together. A rebellion in the USA would be much more toublesome due to the massive population differences and distances involved. You have to remember although libya is a big country almost all the major population centres are lined up on the coast - and the population of Libya is only the same as a state like Indiana.
The Bolsheviks weren't running the show when the Czar abdicated.
