I think that's what he meant, as a US taunt of course
Be wary of France's stance though.... it's very much political. By recognising the freedom fighters as the rightful Libyan representatives, France trumps in the Arab world and puts pressure on the rest of the UN, particularly Europe. Why? Because they fucked up BIG time in Tunisia and this is their olive branch to the Arab world - don't forget there is a *very* dramatical and controversial Muslim debate going on in France atm (national identity et al) where a minister was sacked yesterday for standing up for the muslims in this 'debate' (that has never taken place).
There are very large political chess pieces being played here, that you will never here about on the news... A no fly zone UN enforcement would level the playing field over there, but why are Russia and China threatening to veto such a vote? No idea about China links, but Ghadafi and Medvedev go back a long way, and to this day in arms deals...
