Rex,

I understood your point and you're right, we could make the target list pretty wide if we wanted to and use a NFZ as a cover. But again, what's the objective? Is it our intention to militarily assist the rebels in overthrowing Qaddafi and forming a new government? Well, what if a NFZ and additional strikes aren't enough? What do we know about these rebels - are they worth our support? If they are what happens if/when the NFZ fails to dislodge Qaddafi? In that case we have to either escalate or we end up with Iraq circa 1993 - an endless NFZ that accomplishes nothing.
