Colonel Gaddafi continues to defy the world and his attacks on civilians go on... As President Obama has said, we have every reason to fear that left unchecked, Gaddafi will commit unspeakable atrocities. We all recognise that further delay will only put more civilians at risk.
Let me be clear about the position of the US. We will support an international coalition as it takes all necessary measures to enforce the terms of Resolution 1973. French planes were in the air as we were meeting and there will be other actions to follow. There is no doubt that we will begin to enforce the resolution.

well, the only thing that could make this even remotely entertaining is if the USA stays out of it. It would be worth it to see what France and Britain alone can do. There was a time each nation could simultaneously fight 3 Libyas in different continents.
But that's unlikely to be the case. No one wants to miss out on a chance for some righteous bomb throwing
Hillary Clinton says we "should not doubt our commitment" to form a huge high tech alliance that can smash up another third world s--theap.
I like her official use of *things we fear gaddafi
might do* as justification. It is the world of August!
