#1 Sure nice to see the western powers did their due diligence on the "rebels" before rushing off to war.

#2 Yeah, it's true some of these boys may have had a rough-n-tumble past. But you can bet they're on the right side of liberty and freedeom now. Besides, the US State Dept. announced on Monday they consider the rebels to be "civilians".

#3 How is he different from the Democratic Underground?

For one thing, the DU doesn't actually shoot GI's in Afghanistan (or anyone else, for that matter). DU'ers are mainly leftist / anti-American radicals who are frustrated that the country isn't quite as left-wing as they are. But they're basically harmless. Libyan al Qaeda-ists are a totally different matter.

I anxiously await the breaking story of who is actually behind this senseless Franco-American effort in Libya.

I suspect none other than Chef Boyardee.

#7 It's hard to imagine that it's only just over a year when Kadafi was stooged hook, line and sinker by these guys as is the West still. Kadafi, a cunning old fox is probably still shaking his head at his own stupidity.
