Still pondering that no-fly zone over Libya?

Get this straight, then we’ll talk about the rest:

U.S. Secretary of State meets with Libyan rebels

OK, we have openly sided, once again, with one side in a civil war.  Granted no one seems to like Kadhafi, choosing a side involves not only showing support for one side, but showing opposition to all those people that support the other side.  My own person opinion is to stay out of it and show support for whoever leads the country after the fact, whether we like them or not.

IF we do decide to support one side over the other, then you better fight to win.  The other side will.  If you lose then you can pretty much count on that country’s resources going to oppose anything you try to do, or worse.

Flight 103

So, what does this president do?

What is now the one month anniversary of the uprisings, a full thirty days after Kadhafi ordered his military to attack those rebels and anything associated with them:

Burning Libyan oil wells

Hillary Clinton is meeting with the rebels while the military does nothing.  And, yesterday, the United Nations Security Council met and could not come to an agreement over the no-fly policy in Libya.

In simpler terms, nothing.

In a week or two, this will be over.

Then, in Libya, Kadhafi will continue to hate us and everyone else there won’t trust us because Clinton led them on and Obama did nothing by passing the hat to an organization he knows is plodding and inept.

Which of course leads to my neverending poll:

And a little less importantly:

    Yeah yeah yeah – the whole Libya fiasco is complete cock-up on the part of the administration. I'll get back to that later.

    Right now I need to get my bracket filled out. I don't want to go with Ohio State because everyone else is…

    So I need to know – Is Kentucky going to knock off Ohio State and Syracuse or not? I can take from there.

    I have done four brackets, I have KY in two. They have lost to good teams, and clobbered good teams. You’re on your own with this one. I think it’s a toss-up.
