    I don't understand how those people they get out of there country and supposedly there is no fly zone.
    I think No Fly zone applies to any flight Civilian or military.

    Rats jumping from the sinking ship. But this is a good thing, because it shows the ship is sinking.

    Something like this already happened, with the Libyan Ambassador to the U.S. He's been speaking against the Gaddafi regime ... from his office in the U.S. Whether he's still the ambassador is kind of in the eye of the beholder, because there hasn't been any formal announcement that's he's out of office. But he's definitely jumped ship.

    Funny...How many people resign from a cabinet when they believe that their leader may not be around to much longer. It doesn't hurt that some people in his government risk the possibility of being indicted for war crimes if the U.N. decides to put Gaddhaffi on trial if he survives.

    Libya will have Disneyland and excellent hotels for Americans soon, excellent! The country did nothing without US anyways as in much of the world. They need Americans to let them know how to live. Soon they will find goat disgusting like all the rest of the world.

    Why didn't he stay in his Country and help the rebels? Now that would have been true patriotism . . .

      Saying that a rebel is patriotic is like saying "green pastel redness".

      So it's not patriotic to fight for the country against an evil dictator? What?

      A patriot is someone who fights for his country and government, not someone that rebels against the legitimate government supporting a group who is marginally supported by the masses.

      So–Oaks –would you consider the Confederacy as Patriots? They are consider the opposite rights–traitors not patriots. You cannot use words one way in certain instances to better suit your ideology and to make your personal opinions valid.

    Don't really understand all the support and excitement some people are showing for the so called rebels.....I am no fan of Kaddafi, but he's got the support of the people it seems....and the whole UN intervention is based on rumors, news reports and perseptions (regime bad, rebels are good)!! I think if Kaddafi regime falls to these rebels the US, Europe and Lybias neibouring countries will all suffer......Bin Ladn and his AlQaeda are winning and the Americans are very smart but they just make some stupid mistakes sometimes, and they keep repeating the same mistakes....you would think the US has learned that supporting terrorist all comes to bite you in the A......yet the US keeps doing it over and over......

    What a coward. I'm sure things were fine when Ghadaffi was in control. Now that there is a chance the masses that he had a hand in oppressing could (literally) get their hands on him he tucks tail and runs. He should be sent back to Libya and forced to deal with the masses he has so gleefully oppressed along with his buddy. What a loser...
