"What has happened in Libya differs from the goal of imposing a no-fly zone and what we want is the protection of civilians and not bombing other civilians," Arab League secretary general Amr Mussa told reporters.
On March 12, the Arab League urged the United Nations to impose a no-fly zone on Libya and said Moammar Gadhafi's regime had "lost legitimacy" as it sought to snuff out a rebellion designed to oust him from power.
In the West's biggest intervention in the Arab world since the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, US warships and a British submarine fired more than 120 Tomahawk cruise missiles into Libya on Saturday, the US military said.
French warplanes also carried out strikes.
The UN Security Council passed Resolution 1973 on Thursday authorizing military action to prevent Gadhafi's forces from attacking civilians.

No one twists words better than flip-flopping radical islamists. They didn't want foreigners involved, they wanted a no-fly zone, they kicked out foreigners who tried to help, they begged foreigners for help, they got a no-fly-zone, they scream bloody blue murder because of a no-fly zone. This is what I predicted would happen.
