Remember? This is a "no-fly-zone" for "humanitarian" purposes.

The war is between the NATO-armed eastern rebel tribes and Ghadafi.

I love how the rebels set up a new central bank way back in March. Yeah, ...like the rag-tag rebels know a damn thing about central banking or setting up a new national oil company.

I think you have every right to be suspicious of NATOs aims as looking at who these rebel leaders are, throws up some red flags.
