It is interesting to note that the Rebels that were participating in the rebellion rejected anything from the US, NATO, or a request for a No Fly Zone. They could do it themselves. Now that they are about obliterated and things aren't going the way they hoped they, and other usual enemies, of the west, are all but crying for help, assistance and a No Fly Zone.
Our politicians, as usual, jump into the fray late in the game and place ourselves in a position of no-win politics. I'm no fan of Libya or it's rulers and we have been at odds with them for a long time but Kadafi says the opposition is supposed to be led by radical muslims and al qaeda and aren't we also at odds with these folks also trying to kill them and their leadership?
Is this another case of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" scenario? If so then who is now our friend or who considers US their friend for this season?
