You know, I was thinking, can anyone be in their right mind if they attack their own citizens with their own freaking military? Going to be another Saddam and family???? Hate it for their people, but are we going to have to fight yet another war in the desert????


TRIPOLI, Libya – Libya declared an immediate cease-fire and promised to stop military operations Friday in a bid to fend off international military intervention after the U.N. authorized a no-fly zone and "all necessary measures" to prevent the regime from striking its own people.

The announcement by Foreign Minister Moussa Koussa followed a fierce attack by Gadhafi's forces against Misrata, the last rebel-held city in the western half of the country. A doctor said at least six people were killed.

I agree E, I am tired of the spending and giving to other countries when our folks in the uS are starving. Not to mention my taxes.

Seems they have gotten started, but I am VERY SURE, the good ole USA will butt in and want to claim this all their own


The U.N. Security Council resolution, which was passed late Thursday after weeks of deliberation, set the stage for airstrikes, a no-fly zone and other military measures short of a ground invasion. Britain announced that it would send fighter jets and France was making plans to deploy planes, but the U.S. had yet to announce what its role would be. NATO also held an emergency meeting.

With the international community mobilizing, Koussa said the government would cease fire in line with the resolution, although he criticized the authorization of international military action, calling it a violation of Libya's sovereignty.
