Your interpretation that the resolution is basically a no-fly zone interesting to say the least and simply incorrect to be more accurate.

Also, the resolution does not call for Kadafi's removal, which according to Roach is Obama's clearly stated objective. Nor, does the resolution call for military support of the rebels.

The expressed hope or objective of NATO and the Arab League (and probably most everyone else who cares) is that Kadafi will be removed from power or step down to save his sorry ass as a result of a growing national rebellion facilitated in part by the limited UN authorized mandate to prevent the rebellion, and civilians, from being indiscriminately slaughtered, not be the insertion of ground forces from the West.
