5% of Block hrs and 20% or revenue is what I heard at one of those meetings.

Depends, that is what they said. I would be floored if 20% came from the Interport Operation, I can see Asia, but those were the words used. It is an impressive operation and one we need to hold on to.

The Security Council had a very strongly worded resolution. I was shocked at the verbiage:

The U.N. Security Council authorized a no-fly zone over Libya and called for Arab states and others to use "all necessary measures" to protect civilians from attacks by Moammar Gadhafi's forces.

On a side note, never thought I would see the day that the UN Security Council used language stronger than the union representing my interests. :D

I forgot to mention the other shocker involving the Libya No Fly Zone.

Earlier, French Prime Minister Francois Fillon said on France-2 Television that "time is of the essence" and that France would support military action against Gadhafi within a matter of hours if the Security Council approves the resolution.

The same country that made us fly around their airspace to bomb Libya?

I'm waiting for Carl to start saying that Dogs and Cats are living together...

Talk about closing the barn door after the horse, the time for us to act was 30 days ago.

Its as if Otter were president.

Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic... but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!
