Too little, too late?

Too much too early. Let the Libyans deal with it. They'll give him what he deserves.

Well it seems Gaddafi's forces have declared a ceasefire.

Call me a cynic, but is it beyond the realms of plausibility that the ceasefire is all part of an elaborate plan?
What if the deal is to announce a ceasefire after the moral decision to enforce a no fly zone, is all part of a carefully pre planned ruse between the western players and Gaddafi?
Gaddafi consolidates his gains (which include the oil fields) securing his leadership and ensuring the previous arrangement concerning Libyan oil remains the status quo.

It'll be interesting to see what happens next!

Unpredictable in the sense that there would be no guarantee of reaching an agreement concerning Libyan oil.
I'd say what we are witnessing with regards to a no fly zone over Libya is a classic case of political heel dragging from all concerned.
Britain and France pretend to press for a motion, while Germany and Russia strongly oppose the proposal. While the main players, the U.S., make noises about "accountability".
In the meantime, Gaddafi's forces roll up the rebels as far as and including Bengazi.
Lot's of people die, Gaddafi remains in power, the civilised world is outraged and we get the oil.
Normal service is resumed...job done!

Completely agree with this

Obama has basically distanced himself from the whole situation. He refuses to take (or even recommend) any military action againt Gaddafi's forces. He'd rather go on vacation to Brazil.

It's a sad day when the French take military action against a foe before the U.S. does. (Clearly sarcastic, as another war is the last thing we need)

And Obama did not start this war, nor any other. He inherited the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Whatever. He could pull out and not start new **** but instead he continues with the same old Reagan Bush Clinton Bush bull****

You can't just "pull out" of a war that has nearly 10 years under its belt. It has to be done strategically. And even slightly comparing the foreign relations of the Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush II, and Obama administrations to each other is ignorant as hell.
And for the record, Obama hasn't started any "new sh*t," he's actually strayed from any unnecessary wars (Iran, North Korea, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, etc).

I'm sorry I guess you missed this little headline

Fantastic. How many people do you think he murdered today?
