Arab League planning to ask for no-fly zone

[FluffyMcDeath]

An interesting gambit and perhaps one reason why the Arab League said they'd vote for a no-fly zone. Perhaps they felt that if they asked for one and it happened then they could ask for another one too.

a no-fly zone to "....stop the Israeli aggression on Gaza..." ? sounds ok to me. those guys just don't want to play nice

they need a good slap

Well, if anyone still can't see the hypocrisy and deceit in bombing Libya, this plants it squarely in front of them.

See, that's the thing about all this; I'm not necessarily against intervention in principle but it has to apply to everyone.
When it's so obviously self-serving, hypocritical and sleekit, I cannot support it.

A no-fly zone over my house would be nice. A no-trains-after-midnight zone would be even better.

A nice nuclear cloud would be the most cost efficient way of enforcing a no-fly zone..

Seriously though, this is why Obama went on and on about how "requesting [it] isn't enough and everything is determined on a case by case basis".
