#1 More mindless drivel. Do you think these "leaders" could ever embarrass themselves with this swill?

#2 vaporous Arab League chief condemned the "bombardment of civilians.

I don't remember them being concerned about the bombardment (with gasses) of Kurdish civiliains or of Negro civilians in Sudan. I know, I know it is not the same thing: then the bombed were not from the HerrensVolk and now the bombers are filthy kaffirs

#3 Telegraph View: The instant wavering from the Arab League over the bombing of the Libyan regime was sadly predictable...In foreign affairs, as in so many areas, Mr Obama's intentions are hard to read; if he thinks the Libyan intervention will damage his standing in the Middle East or the Midwest then there is no guarantee that he will not make America's excuses and leave. Moreover, there is no evidence that either he or Mr Cameron has considered what sacrifices might be needed to remove Gaddafi, let alone a clear vision of what a post-Gaddafi Libya ought to look like.

#4 This morning on the radio they had some honcho from the Arab League, who - thru a translator - said they didn't want any bombing, just a no-fly zone.

Huh? Like it was an invisible, magic shield, or maybe an Arab cease-fire.

And who said anything about removing kaDaffy?

#5 When the smoke clears Qadaffy Duck will reign supreme, NATO will look stupid but no one will officially notice, the rebels (whoever they are) will be mostly dead, the UN will divert attention by passing a motion to condemn Israel for something or other, the US will be even broker for no gain, and the President will grow weary of it all and go on vacation.

#6 It's almost as if the Arab League had no idea what a 'no-fly zone' actually is, or how one goes about enforcing such a zone.

#7 Ghadaffi threatens to kill civilians and there seems to be little outrage from the muslim community. Ghadaffi revs up the propaganda machine and says the West is killing civilians. The Arab community is then outraged about civilian deaths which have not been proven. Blood is thicker than water. Snakes.

#8 The Arab way of saying "Thanks infidel." for doing their dirty work.

#9 Perhaps my eye is overly sensitized to extraneous commas from proofreading, but I believe the headline should read:

Arab League bitches moan about strikes in Libya

On more serious note, I wonder how much of this boilerplate outrage is the usual double-diplo-speak. Yeah, the West is pulling our chestnuts out of the fire yet again, but theology demands we disapprove of infidels killing Mooselims.

#11 For the most part, the Libyans seem to be for what's happening now.

Whose opinion matters?

And after Gadaffy disappears, will Libyans remember what the rest of the AL bitches were moaning about?

#12 When you think of the Arab League envision hairless pink irradiated rats with translucent red eyes throwing themselves foaming at the glass where you have placed your warm hand.

Moslems are not your friends.
