Arming the Libyan Rebels - Heated Debate in the US

The New York Times: Reports that a heated debate has developed within the Obama Administration about the arming of the Easter Libyan rebels. Well folks this could be very academic if Gaddafi forces destroy the rebels over the next few days, this is not some dusty academic debate, there might not be that much time for President Obama to make a decision or to be marched in to making the right decision by those like Hillary Clinton and his UN Ambassador Susan Rice. One can postulate that there is not enough time to transfer the arms, that revolt in Libya needs boots on the ground, otherwise what is the point. The UK and France might have to decide at the end of the day to get on the ground, this will force POTUS to chose, between supporting his Allies or allowing Gaddafi to stay in power, it can be that simple and brutal folks.
