You’re forgiven if you think that’s a joke headline. Unfortunately, it’s not. The Arab League, which begged for NATO intervention in Libya now objects to NATO intervention in Libya.
The Associated Press describes the ol’ switcheroo:
The head of the Arab League has criticized international strikes on Libya, saying they caused civilian deaths.
The Arab League’s support for a no-fly zone last week helped overcome reluctance in the West for action in Libya. The U.N. authorized not only a no-fly zone but also “all necessary measures” to protect civilians.
Amr Moussa says the military operations have gone beyond what the Arab League backed.
Moussa has told reporters Sunday that “what happened differs from the no-fly zone objectives.” He says “what we want is civilians’ protection not shelling more civilians.”
Un-freakin-believable.

Let's see ... the people who want us dead are trying to kill each other. And for some reason we think this is a bad thing.
Sounds like a win / win to me.
My feeling are:
the cost of a bushel of corn = the cost of a barrel of oil.
replace the word "corn" with any other food item you want.
That will put those backwards, inbred, pedophiles in their place.
LOVE THE TITLE
LOL
Screw them all. Let them make bread out of their oil, we can make gas out of corn. Leave it little nero to be out with the family while things are burning
I guess we were supposed to use the new high-tech missiles, that can tell military from civilians. When will we learn to just leave the Middle East to sort out it's own garbage?
Who woulda seen this coming? "Look those damn Americans are killing our brothers".This whole thing was probably cooked up by the arab league so they could point fingers at us, the bad guys.
Does anyone think these rebels are really just "freedom fighters" or are they muslim brotherhoodlums as in Egypt?
Well Mike, I for one am not a big fan of coincidence...something stinks in Denmark!
The Arab League has played "rope a dope" against the West. First they sucker us into bombing Libya then they denounce us for bombing Libya.
Meanwhile, our part-time President tours South America pretending he has no involvment in the mess---he's setting up Hillary for the fall on this one.
I have always hated Hillary, but if she wants to beat the living crap out of Obama, I would gladly hold her coat.
Are we just ignorant f***s or what? We've been helping these muslim a**holes for over thirty years, fight their enemies in their own backyards no less, while at the same time, they've been stabbing us in the back. The Muslim Brotherhood, grandaddy of all Islamist terrorism declared war on the west in the late thirties and on us (The US) in the early forties. Why are we even helping these bastards? Can somebody answer that question for me?
No-one should be surprised by this. First, they are all nuts. Well ok, not all of them are crazy, but the 98% that are give the rest of them a bad name. Second, with no boots on the ground, it aint gonna work anyway, and Daffy will persevere. So the mussies are just covering their ass so Daffy doesnt off a few K of them next.
Not a bit surprised that they want to have their cake (get rid of Khaddafi) and eat it too (bitch about what's going on so they look clean to their Muslim brothers). The duplicitous bastards sucked the Dumbass-in-Chief right in.
