Clinton to rebels...nothing but love for you baby! No no-fly zone, no military aid, no help of any kind. But....if you're lucky, Obama will say a few inspiring words as the genocide unfolds. Hope to dare to believe it's time to kiss your ass good-bye or some such nonsense.

Not to worry. Obama will offer platitudes, and hundreds more will be shot tomorrow.

Even though the U.S. is now backing the draft Libya resolution, Danin believes the Obama administration should have pushed harder for action much earlier. "Obama should not have called for Qaddafi to step down if the U.S. was not willing to back up that call with a real sense of an ‘or else' ... consequences for failing to step down.”
