Mission creep in Libya

President Obama spoke to the nation about US involvement in Libya. He still maintains that our involvement was limited to a no-fly zone. Somehow the US military didn't get the memo. We now have A-10 Warthog "tank killers" and C-130 gunships, for close-air support targeting enemy ground troops, being deployed to Libya. So, we've not involved ourselves even deeper into Libya's civil war. Still, the Congress has not been asked to approve anything.

Where are the anti-war protesters? Where are the people who screamed about the "illegal" war in Iraq? Why aren't the media talking heads challenging the Obama administration the way they did George W. Bush?
