I have not seen or heard from NATO military leaders regarding their military plans, after the statements from Mullen and Gates, have you?

Have we postponed or have we prevented? Have we shortened the duration of death and destruction or have we lengthened it? These are basic questions I have been asking from the beginning. Time will give us the answers. Based on the answers I think the conclusions will be clear.

ethics are not core beliefs? in the world of manly man talk, the statements made by koussa and the other defectors that their primary objective is to stop the violence aren't real?

I said the actions of the defectors pale in comparison to the actions highlighted in my post. I did not say or suggest the actions or words of the defectors are not real.

all that matters is what people in the united states say and within that larger set, what those say who speak the manly man that you understand. awesome. your perspective is unhinged from reality entirely, ace.

What matters is what our military leaders are saying. What will matter is what our President says. US public opinion is not setting the agenda.
My perspective is based on what has occurred and what is likely to occur. I agree that my interpretation of events is simply my interpretation - reasonable people can disagree - time will tell if I was correct or not. What I describe as my fears and concerns, however, are not unique to me. As I suggested, our President should hold a press conference and answer questions. this may be the only way we can get clarity from the administration.

Conservatives also support the causes for humanitarian aid. Are you being sarcastic?
