No Fly Zone....enforced by someone else
From an article on Foxnews.com:
'Obama said Qaddafi must implement a cease-fire, stop his troops from advancing on rebel strongholds and allow humanitarian assistance to reach Libya. "Let me be clear, these terms are not negotiable," he said in a brief appearance at the White House. "If Qaddafi does not comply with the resolution, the international community will impose consequences and the resolution will be enforced through military action."
Obama met with congressional leaders from both parties on Libya before he made his statement. Sources with knowledge of the meeting said Obama told them that no U.S. troops and no U.S. attack aircraft will be directly involved in enforcement of the no-fly zone.'
I like the message. If you don't do what I say.... I'll beg someone else to do something. Doesn't really sound very intimidating. I wonder why he is weighing in at all if he plans to let others do the lifting.
