I'm sure you've been watching & reading about Libya (like me).
What do you think about the coalition military action?
Do you think that we should be removing Gaddafi? Should we leave the country to their civil war? Should we intervene to save the innocent civilians?

If by "we" you mean the UK and US, (I have to frame this this way since Obama said Qadhafi had to go then said "uh, who me?") I would have start my answer with first we need a leader, then we can figure out what to do with Qadhafi.

Right. . . Usually that would be the US and UK for all intents and purposes. Have you noticed France is being more aggressive against Kaddafi than Obama has been OH! OH! OH!
I found a new word. So help me it's in the Oxford English Dictionary and perhaps a few others, OED does say it is rare so maybe not.
Obambulate - to walk - oh shucks here's the copy/paste.
obambulate, v. rare.
(ɒˈbæmbjʊleɪt)
[f. ppl. stem of L. obambulāre, f. ob- (ob-) + ambulare to walk.]
intr. To walk about; to wander hither and thither.
So obambuˈlation, walking to and fro; obˈambulatory a., habitually walking about, itinerant. .
Basically I think we can understand the word to mean to wander aimlessly without direction. To waffle.

Hahaha! Your politicians sound like ours! They'll spend years talking about something without any progress.

Or France has remained at the same level of military intervention, it's just more noticeable now with the US holding back ?
There's no way France would ever get involved. If they do, try to convince them that the fight is over.
