EIN News says, "Air Strikes Within 'Hours' After UN Libya Vote France said military action against Libya would come "within hours", as a UN vote approving air strikes was celebrated by rebels and Moamer Kadhafi's son said his family was "not afraid." (yahoo.com)".
That should make US hawks very happy.
However, the French statement is ill-defined. Does that mean France is on its way to start military action in Libya or does it mean that France expects the US to take the lead, while France stands on the sideline or gives token participation?
Let's also keep in mind that France now has a very large Muslim population, and President Sarkozy may only be making a hot air political statement.
I continue to be opposed to US involvement. We have no reason to believe that Qaddafi is killing innocent civilians. We know nothing about the ideology of the rebels. They may be worse to have in power than Gaddafi.
