A new euphemism enters the language

"No fly zone" apparently means all your asses are belong to us.


Gadhafi vows 'long war' after US, allies strike - Yahoo! News

TRIPOLI, Libya – The U.S. and European nations targeted Moammar Gadhafi's forces with airstrikes and dozens of cruise missiles...

State television said 48 people had died in the strikes...widest international military effort since the Iraq war...aimed at enforcing a U.N.-mandated no-fly zone...

Because being a war president worked so well for Dubya.

Libya is not Darfur or Bosnia. It is not about genocide or "ethnic cleansing." It is not Egypt either, a bunch of people demonstrating in a public square. The Libyan rebels wear uniforms and have modern weapons, including tanks.  Libya is a civil war. But of course it's a civil war with oil.

So here we go again.
