Meanwhile, over in Libya...

they've just cancelled the religious holiday Ramadan.

Tell me again how we're helping the "innocents" in their own homeland please, Ms. Hillary.

AL-QUALISH, Libya — The Muslim holy month of Ramadan began here at a lonely outpost on the front lines, as rebel forces broke their daylight fast with a handful of dates, a glass of milk and a couple of rocket launches.

A few miles away in the village of Asaba, soldiers still loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi could be seen through a pair of binoculars, milling around beneath a white water tower, as a NATO warplane arched high overhead.

There will be no cease-fire. NATO officials say they will continue to fly strike sorties over Libya, without pause.

For Muslims worldwide, the month of Ramadan is a time for fasting and family, for charity and prayer. But rebel commanders and their homegrown militias in the sandy mountains south of Tripoli promise they will press their attacks.

In the past three weeks, this ghost town on the front between rebels and loyalists — a place most Libyans have never heard of — has been taken, lost and retaken.

Despite their sound bites about imminent victories, most rebel commanders privately concede they will probably continue a pattern of cautious advance.

In the western mountains, where rebels have made the largest gains in recent weeks, their offensives have been slowed the past two days by severe gas shortages, as fuel resupplies have been stopped at the Tunisian border.

Little by little, the rebels do keep gaining ground, but it has been a slog, and no commander here has made a convincing case for how the rebels will take Tripoli by force from the outside.

The rebels seem divided on what Ramadan will mean for the fight. “During Ramadan, we can’t stop. If we stop, this will go on forever,” said Jumar Kharboush, a paramedic, who had just taken the town of Jawsh on Sunday with fellow rebel fighters. He was wearing goggles in the sandstorm and looked like an extra in a Mad Max movie serial.

“Look at what Moammar Gaddafi has turned us into,” Kharboush said. “We’re doctors and lawyers, but look at us.”

His squad of middle-aged fighters was lying in the shade, exhausted by dust, heat, the sound of automatic weapon fire. “We hate killing each other. Every time I leave my mother, she cries. But what can I do?” he said.

Nearby, Akmed Salah, a dentist, said: “Maybe during Ramadan we will hold what we have. We will fight, of course, but take a more defensive posture, so as to spend a little time with our families.”

Thanks Hillary and gals. Thanks NATO.
America doesn't have enough internal "solutions" to go around, now we've got to export our "good will."

I keep wondering: Why Libya? Why now?
Who is really gaining from all the internal killing taking place over there? Does anyone really care to know, or will our media continue to ignore the reality of what we've gotten ourselves into?

Oh yeah, thanks President Obama.
Remember, this one's all yours...
