I was simply providing context.

What histrionics?
Dramatic exaggeration of facts..claiming the UN resolution was only for a No Fly Zone to the comparison to Egypt, with lots of name calling in between.

How many people have to die before it meets your threshold?
Situations such as Ghaddfi threatening to send troops door-to-door and bombing civilians in major cities.

It is a fact that the "limited actions" are not really limited and that the attack on ground forces that have nothing to do with preventing aircraft from flying. Attacks on the ground forces have allowed the rebel forces to advance in an offensive manner, which they otherwise would not have been able to do. How is that protecting civilians again?
We differ on the meaning of protecting civilians. I would rather do more than less if thousands are threatened by the military.

So did Ghadaffi.

And US intel suggests otherwise.

No I brought up Darur because you did so. I could give a shit about that issue. We have no dog in that hunt.

Well that is certainly different from Egypt, Syria, and Yemen.
