#4  UNSC Resolution 1973 'authorises all necessary means to protect civilians and civilian-populated areas, except for a "foreign occupation force"'

That should cover taking out Gaddafi forces attacking Benghazi.

Not that I think giving additional legitimacy to the UNSC was a good idea. Reagan did it without a Resolution in 1986.

#3  How is it that we are allowed to take out tanks based on a UN resolution calling for a no-FLY zone?

I understand taking out air search radars and anti air missiles, since the planes need to be safe, but taking out tanks, airfields and other things seems to be beyond the mandate for a no fly zone.
