Funny that.

...that too...

I agree with Beduin that suggesting this is all part of a Western conspiracy is rather dumb, but at the same time, the West is very selective in its distaste for dictators.

No will porbably just result in our planes cruising round telling other aircraft to "leave the area or they will be fired upon", then said aircraft usually just ignore this and carry on bombing the crap outta rebels/civilians.

Could go either way. With UN backing, Britain and France might decide it's time to do something a bit more serious.

They pretty much gave the go to do what they want. Problem will be figuring that out before it's too late. The Rebels have been routed of late.

I don't think they'll let this be like the Iraqi no fly zone where they gave stern looks of disapproval as they bomb/gassed the Kurds. Interesting though, this opens everything up. Wonder when the birds will be all up in Libyan airspace

I hope they actually shoot them down and not just spam the radio. Western nations could use a good dogfight / air-to-air engagement every now and then

Looks a hell of a lot more than a no fly zone based on the resolution. Looks more like a "kill anything painted green" zone.
