   Wow!!! Such a prompt response now that Mo doesn't need his planes anymore. Watch Russia support his planes if they do fly. Then what? More golf?

   It's about time the U.N. made a decision. Let's just hope they don't let the French in charge of the mission. We all know how they performed in Bosnia. I remember going in after them and cleaning up.

   This probably comes too late to truly help the rebel forces. They appear to be all but defeated. This should have come a month ago when it may have done some good.

   These folks aren't our "friends". They celebrated 9/11 and gave a heros welcome to Lockerbie guy. We (us) gains nothing by getting rid of the "devil we know". We cannot get into a 3rd war let alone another Civil war! These things have to be aloud to play out and then everyone rushes in to pick up the pieces and make friends with the winners

   BBC reporting that England and France with Arab assistance will begin operations within a 'matter of hours'. Looks like the Eurofighter Typhoon EF2000 and Dassault Rafael will be getting their first tastes of air combat. Gadaffi's air force no match for these latest generation air superiority warplanes.

   WOw! That will make a huge difference now that the rebels are on the run. Way to go U.N.! Taking action that really matters well after the fact.

     This will give the rebels renewed vigor. Today they attacked Gadaffi's forces with tanks and artillary. So obviously there are some military units who have joined rebel forces. When they see Gadaffi's planes being shot down it will bolster their enthusiasm.

    Moammar: It will soon be brought home to you by our carrier off your coast that we in the U.S. have not forgotten either your murder of our soldiers at the LaBelle in Germany nor your murder of our citzens on the Pan Am flight downed over our UK ally. Turn around and kiss it goodbye while you still have a chance!

    Take the cost from oil sales. Donald Trump is correct when he says the free use of our military should end.

      So far there's no sign that the US will be in any way involved. By your logic, Iraq should charge the US fees for some 50,000 troops spending vacations in the country - say, at $120 per day and person among friends?
