2. No. I don't think so.

3. I think it is exactly what they say.....preparing for the no-fly zone.

Gates made it plain when he said what would have to be done.

5. Yes he did, and very clearly. SOS Clinton did also.

6. Yes, I imagine so. I have very mixed feelings on this whole thing.

We're not very good at Middle East stuff. We tend to screw things up, rather than help. I just don't know. I'm sure we're hitting air defense sites with these cruise missiles, and that's a supportive role, but I'm still skeptical of the value of this entire operation. I suspect it won't accomplish what we think it will. But, that's just a layman's opinion, so...

7. I hate war and warlike actions, but this isn't a US led event.

And sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. My guess is the value will be the people of Libya having a chance to overthrow a dictator who has used them for target practice.

Unless we're sitting in the WH we're all laymen MM. We the people.

8. I hope it works out to the benefit of the Libyan people.

I truly do. If it works out, then it will be worth it. That's why my feelings are mixed.

9. Me too MM, on both counts.

I tend to trust the President and respect the way this was carried out....with us as supporting players, not the stars.
Although to listen to some of the press and the peeps you'd think he just invaded Iraq. Overbushed is the only way I can describe the anti's....they never evolved past what he acted like.
