It appears that I was duped by the administration on this one. We are still attacking. U.S. jets still striking Libya targets | Philadelphia Inquirer | 04/14/2011

I've heard people saying they were "duped", but I'm not sure why. I've always been under the impression that after supplying much man power and tech to the initial attack on Libya, we'd then play a minor role helping enforce the no fly zone with the rest of NATO performed the bulk of the operations. As far as I know, this hasn't changed. I even said earlier in this thread "Since the majority of the aircraft working over Libya are now French and British...", recognizing that there were a small amount of US planes involved.

Unless I missed something and Obama did indeed say we'd completely bow out of the operation after the initial attack, which could very well be.
