So, who of the NATO Nations bothered to show up for the party? I take a somewhat cynical look at 'this is a NATO operation' and will indicate with various smilies why ...

Is NATO bloat (since 1996) worth anything more than Bloody All?

Not to mention that the ingrates in Libya are crying "what have you done for me lately" as soon as they can ...

Libya's rebels: NATO isn't doing enough for us - CSMonitor.com

Then again, I maybe should not blame them ...

“Our question for NATO is this: are you with us or against us?”

NATO has insisted that it is in Libya not to overthrow Colonel Qaddafi, but to prevent further loss of civilian life.
Huh???
