The rebels have advanced in the city and some of the Presidential guard has given up.
Mass demonstrations are in the city square.
This is now really really interesting.
Let's see how this goes next:

the fact that people actually consider her a viable candidate speaks volumes about the leadership in both parties

True. Look at what we elected to occupy the White House right now.

What does the Democrat leadership have to do with some people considering her a viable candidate? And who gives a crap?

We're 14 months away from the election, and I have already been made aware of more pressing, urgent stuff about her from the mainstream media than we'll ever know about the current President, such as:

1) she gets migraines every once in awhile- can we really trust her to lead?
2) her husband kidnaps gays and tries to forcibly convert them to heterosexuality
3) she's not a flake (thank you Chris Wallace)
4) she has gigantic bright blue eyes and is really crazy, according to Newsweek
5) I'm sure I'm forgetting something

You connect dots that simply do not exist. Better not operate heavy machinery any longer.

Devil's A. wants $2 gas and I told him how to get it. Never said I would vote for her. Matter of fact, if you go back in the Republican 2012 candidates thread, you'll find I support Chris Christie #1 and barring him changing his mind, Rick Perry. As jhay notes, she'll never survive the hourly rectal exam from the likes of Chrissy Matthews, Rachel Madcow, Chuck Todd, and Norah O'Donnell.

This is why women who have not been through menopause should not be president. I don't want to be on the brink of war every 28 days.

Nothing a couple of high-dose Pamprin and a dozen roses won't take of.

Well it's certainly not Janet Napolitano or Nancy Pelosi. ;)

More NATO, and more the French and the Canucks special forces training the rebels on attack formations and strategy.
Also, the air strikes and sanctions finally paid off.
As I said at the start, air wars are not quick, and it took some time to get to this position.
Now the really interesting part begins. What next?

We should be demanding a lot of low priced oil from the new Libyan government.

well... the fact that she's insane, and says insane things, yet is taken seriously because in my opinion Obama sucks has a lot to do with Dems.

Truth. If Obama was doing a better job, no one sane would care about her. But with him being how he is, the "anyone else is better" thought process comes into play. And she is "anyone else".
