This was going to largely be a US led intervention regardless of what country struck Libyan targets first. This is the unfortunate price of being the most powerful nation in the world.

It was a little sad to see John McCain and Lindsey Graham criticizing the goverenment and the president for not acting sooner, as if the situation would be that much better without any international support.

CRed, I think each cruise cost about a mil per, so yeah do the math. It's crazy how we cry about the deficit incessantly, yet place a fleet of war ships off the coast of Tripoli and bomb away.
