127. No one has said the rebels are our friends (that I am aware of)
there is major discussion going on as to the political/philosophical makeup of the rebel forces. They may well be unfriendly to the US if they are able to oust Gaddafi and establish control of the country.

My understanding of the mission of the intervention (admittedly, voiced by the PTB) is that we are attempting to stop Gaddafi from carrying out his expressed intentions to seek vengeance on the population in rebel held cities, especially Benghazi.

If it turns into something different, I will certainly change my mind.
