I really try to keep up with the happening around the world, but apparently I have missed something. 

Last Sunday Gadhafi's son advised that the United States was making a grave error in supporting the rebels as they were the bad guys.  He advised it would all come to light and the United States would see the truth.

Last night (Monday) President Obama revealed he was keeping his promise and turning the support of the Libyans over to the United Nations.

This morning the United States representative in the United Nations advised that the White House had not decided to turn the support over as yet because our President is considering arming the rebels of another country.

Did I miss something?

I have some questions.  Is the United States now supporting the al Quida through our President's actions?
Does the President believe he can go on national television and lie to the American people without retribution?
Can he? 

I need more information which I am most likely not going to get.  Does he have intelligence from our foreign spy network to confirm that the rebels are the bad guys?  Is their information more reliable than that received concerning Iraq?  What happened overnight to change the "White House's" mind?

Trying to make sense out of all this and hope I am not alone!

Overdone

For years our little county government ran like a well oiled clock with 3 clerks and an administrator in the commissioners office. With little economic growth in the county as well as nationwide, the commissioners feel the need to add more personnel.  A payroll clerk, an accounts payable clerk, a receptionist/secretary, an office manager and now a fire fee clerk to handle the all encompassing clerical duties for a county of around 17000.  Talk about efficiency and wastefullness and the county is suppose to be in a budget crunch!
