What does a No Fly Zone in Libya entail?

What does a No Fly Zone entail? Cruise Missiles, aerial carpet-bombing, the destruction of all military and commercial communications, military bases, airfields, highways, train stations, schools, hospitals, mosques & everything else except the oil pipelines and oil offices, to protect the freedom loving people inside those buildings.

Gaddafi Moammar

Gaddafi has always been an independent and ruthless Dictator-leader of the Libyan tribes and strongly resisted control by both the USSR and the USA in the Cold War days whilst the Dictators of Saudi and Jordan and the Emirates etc sided with the US, handing over their sovereignty and maintaining their despotic ways with strong US support. It was only when Gaddafi had proclaimed full and real independence from both the USA and USSR that the Americans did a lot of bombing raids and killed his son expecting Gaddafi to respond in a mad way so they would have a reason to invade, but he never did respond in a mad way at all. They have got him wrong for a long time and have taken to parody and painting him as a madman etc, but he's no madder than the Saudi King or the the King of Jordan, he's just an independent dictator, and a very bright tactician. He doesn't have many weapons of course and is fully involved in counter-insurgency, which is why he's an easy target now...and a lucrative one. Libyan oil is so pure it hardly needs processing at all so if you can grab it all for free, you can still pump up the world price and make a killing in more ways than one. Easy Money for BP and Total and the American conglomerates. Still, the launching of this new war, and it is war, is a very rushed decision to protect UK/French and US saboteurs in Benghazi and the West usually does underestimate the skill of Gaddafi. He's been the tribal leader for 40 years now and every moment has been hard. He has been an enormously smart and ruthless survivor and 40% of the people of Libya are very well looked after. We will see how 'Freedom' reduces this % to just about nothing.

I'm guessing that the Heaven mentioned in the hymn as being patrolled by US Marines is not the same Heaven as noted in the Koran.

The Battle Hymn of the US Marines, even mentioning Tripoli the Libyan capital in the first line. Hmmm. Well done Obama...Change has come to America...well, to the oil price anyway.

From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli,

We fight our country's battles in the air, on land and sea.
First to fight for right and freedom, and to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title of United States Marine.

Our flag's unfurled to every breeze from dawn to setting sun.
We have fought in every clime and place, where we could take a gun.
In the snow of far off northern lands and in sunny tropic scenes,
You will find us always on the job,The United States Marines.

Here's health to you and to our Corps which we are proud to serve.
In many a strife we've fought for life and never lost our nerve.
If the Army and the Navy ever look on heaven's scenes,
they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines.

The UK/US/France's corporate response to the situation in Libya: A massive Christian aerial bombardment of Arab children running with scissors.

Congratulations to China, Russia, Brazil, India and Germany for not being involved in the viciousness enacted against Libya

Hague says Gaddafi must go. The US notes they've referred Gaddafi to the International Criminal Court although the US is not a signatory of the ICCthrough fear of how many Americans are guilty of War Crimes

Anyway, away from the Middle East which is only really important to oil companies, and back to where things matter for the world and for us: North Asia. If peace in the Middle East mattered it would have happened years ago. I note that the UK's FM Hague is saying today that Gaddafi must go, so it's not about a NFZ or anything else except about going to war. Savages. They always end up doing far more horrific things and on a grander scale than the bad guys they have to replace could ever have done. This is such a bad and rushed and vicious corporate-oil decision. Who will win the war? BP and France's Total.

Monsters.
