It still sounds tougher than Operation Odumbo Drop

The title sounds pornographic.

It will soon be adopted by some enterprising porn star if it hasn't been already.

The rebels’ move comes one day after Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said U.S. jets won’t be flying with NATO forces over Libya after April 2. Mullen said planes would be made available only if requested by NATO. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates told Congress the U.S. will “significantly ramp down our commitment” to Libya except for electronic warfare, aerial refueling and surveillance.

I don't think this means a thing. If Hussein wants to bomb Kaddafi in order to help his terrorist pals, he will just order NATO to order the U.S. to send in planes. And they will.

As for Gates, he has as good as said that this war is pointless, but don't expect him to DO anything about it, if Hussein says otherwise.

As for Barry, what he says today has nothing to do with what he does tomorrow.

“Today, the US went further and said it would stop flying sorties over Libya after today”

Well, that must mean that they found the gold bullion that Khaddafi was keeping hidden in his ‘bank’ for AMERICAN and FOREIGN INTERESTS who were avoiding taxes and snooping noses.

When I very first heard “Odyssey Dawn” what stood out was the “O” like in Obama, and like his campaign logo. I think it was a planned usage by him.

Just like in the movie Die Hard,

It’s not about the hostages, it’s ABOUT THE MONEY.

Why do you think ‘we’ (they) shot off 200 Tomahawk Cruise Missiles?

Because politicians, corporate heads (like Citibank), organized crime figures(democrat politicians) had MONEY hidden in Ghaddafi’s banks in the form of Gold Bullion. Not just the US, but Italy, France, and many of the other members of the ‘coalition’.

They will spare no expense (of yours) to recover and keep (their personal) gold.

I though Odyssey Dawn was a new Carnival cruise ship.

“Qaddafi’s fighters must retreat from cities and nearby areas for any cease-fire deal, . . .”

LOL. Why would Ghadaffi accept that? He moves his guys out into the desert where air assets can attack them.

Sounds like it, doesn’t it? When I first heard it I thought of fairies and rainbows and beautiful sunrises. LOL

Should have named it “A Thousand Blossoms Obama Dawn” with appropriately marxist associated art.

Bush had Enduring Freedom. Obama has Enduring Screwup.

Odyssey Dawn. What a stupid name for a stupid operation devised by stupid people. Just Stupid.

That's because "Operation Libyan Cluster ****" wouldn't fit into a t-shirt logo.

This little war may be playing well in political circles & the media, but it’s bombing everywhere else. Any Libya story I see in Yahoo has around 90% against in the comments, I’d estimate, if not higher. Zero’s just working off the polling, like B. Clinton did.

Here is the latest info from AOL News. Apparently the rebels are getting more organized. They seem to have better communications equipment and medium strength arms. Also, older men, ex-army are going to the front in squads of 6 or 7 with 1 experienced military squad leader. They are keeping the undisciplined hotheads in the rear. Also 500 photos.

Odyssey Dawn sounds vaguely Oriental, weak and feminine. I want our military wording back, strong and masculine!

Odyssey Dawn sounds like the name of an adult film actress!
