By no real rebel force, I think you mean the no real rebel force is not committed to win. For certain, they are undisciplined, ineffective, and cried out for help as soon as quddaffi started his return of fire. zer0, of course, decided the no real rebel force should be defended and helped to win. zer0, the real problem of the world. Thank God, 2012 is coming soon.

Okay, the Arab League is now complaining because they think "the attacks went too far".

The bottom line is that Gaddafi screamed that there were civilian casualities and the Arab League ran for cover.

We’ve had a “cease-fire” with North Korea for more than half a century. This is a classic run-out-the-clock strategy by someone who perceives that right now, he is “ahead” in the game. He’d be happy as a clam with 5 or 10 more years in power as they negotiate terms.

and quddaffi is just the guy to supply the civilian casualties, if those civilian casualties do not exist. A win - win for quddaffi, and America takes another knife at our throats.

If Gawdawfull succeeds, he will turn the entire Arab world against this in a few short days.

How the hell do you land a bomb in a fishbowl and protect civilians in the meantime?

Its either war or not! And to succeed in war you need to destroy the enemy totally.

This whole thing is an intimate gathering whose name begins with “cluster.”

It’s not a “cease-fire” as Western culture understands the term. The meaning of the Arabic term being used is more along the lines of “Pause, to allow me to regroup my forces”.

The question is..did he actually call for a cease fire? Its on TV now that they continue to fire. So, if Gawdawful has called for a cease fire, and the NATO forces ignore it, then they have a real problem on their hands and in the eyes of the AYrabs, this wont go over so good.

WSJ now reporting that Libya has seized the crew of an Italian ferry boat...

Libya is in desperate need of a navy vessel.

obama will let him stay in power in exchange for changing Gaddafi’s name to something we can all spell.

Hey you. For two days you have been beating the drums about how great this is. Go on record now and let us know why US involvement is a great thing.

We should have assassinated him 2 weeks ago. True, we are no longer capable of that, but we could have contracted Mossad. Left alive he’ll be a bigger problem than ever. We blew it. Again.

Cease Fire = Kadafi wins

Obama said Kadafi must go.

Cease fire means he’s not going anywhere.
