Libyan Envoy Says Security Council Must Act in Next 10 Hours
Source: AOL News

UNITED NATIONS -- Ibrahim Dabbashi, Libya's deputy envoy to the U.N. who has turned against Moammar Gadhafi, said today the U.N. Security Council had 10 hours to pass a resolution imposing a no-fly zone in Libya and possibly authorizing airstrikes.
...
On Saturday, the Arab League called for such a no-fly zone to be established, but the proposal needs to be authorized by the U.N. Security Council.
...
The Security Council is discussing a draft resolution, prepared by France and Britain, which was circulated Tuesday by Lebanon, the only member of the Arab League represented in the council.
...
The U.S., which already has forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, is worried about getting bogged down in a third Muslim country.

We didn't stop the Saudis helping the Yemeni government put down demonstrations, so I think we'll smile and nod if anyone wants to impose a No Fly Zone over Libya.

Maybe the American people are a little tired, and two wars is enough, Thank You very much.

Personally, I could use two less wars.

3. I think we should sign it and then tell everyone else they gotta step up to the plate because
our war dance card is full. Sorry to mix my metaphors, but I'm a bastard like that.

4. Are you talking about the Saudi's helping Bahrain's king "put down demonstrations"...

...and blocking off the hospital/beating up doctors? http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x4773160

Anyway, using that analogy in this context would mean "we" would side with TPTB in Libya and shake "our" heads a NFZ over Libya.
