So, it now looks like we're considering arming the rebels in Libya:

Arming Rebels?

I don't know that I can think of a bigger mistake that we could make. Once we do that, any premise of our involvement to "protect civilians" becomes negated, because we will have chosen a side in the fight, and we will be arming them.

Hopefully, Obama will suffer a lucid moment, show some true leadership and refuse to do this...

Arming the rebels, we've already did that with the no fly zone and beyond. So who are you kidding. Continuing bombing is in no interest of the US, nor is providing arms to the ground troops. Period.
