I'm all for becoming more isolationists. Dismantle at least 50% of our international military bases ASAP! It's time America began to take of America first.

Oh, but I guess all these "wars" help keep people working and military corp's make their profits...what was I thinking?

There'll be some validity to this if and when American ground forces, whether or not under the NATO aegis, go in.

Right now the U.S. and NATO commitment is only to a no-fly zone.

Right now the U.S. dead from the operation, unless I'm missing something, is precisely zero.

Yeah, Oppositional Defiant. I like that.

As NATO takes over control of airstrikes in Libya, and the Obama administration considers new steps to tip the balance of power there, the coalition has told the rebels that if they endanger civilians, they will not be shielded from possible bombardment by NATO planes and missiles, just as the government’s forces have been punished.

A hilarious take on this:

So, having agreed to be the Libyan Liberation Movement Air Force, we're also happy to serve as the Gadhafi Last-Stand Air Force. Say what you like about Barack Obama, but it's rare to find a leader so impeccably multilateralist that he's willing to participate in both sides of a war. It doesn't exactly do much for holding it under budget, but it does ensure that for once we've got a sporting chance of coming out on the winning side. If a coalition plane bombing Gadhafi's forces runs into a coalition plane bombing the rebel forces, are they allowed to open fire on each other? Or would that exceed the U.N. resolution?
