It's on like Donkey Kong over there. Not sure if it was Gaddafi's, the rebels or one of the Allied forces at this point.

Looks like he ejected in the picture. The black fig. above looks like the ejection seat w/ the parachute streaming from it.

I don't think the French fly MiGs... It was confirmed as a rebel plane.

I'm a bit confuse.

So the UN shot the people they're suppose to be helping?

Then... They're saying the UN shot at the Rebel Plane, the people they're helping, in violation by the Rebel of the no fly-zone. LOL big FAIL.

i really don't have a good feeling about this whole thing. like maybe it won't turn out to really be that bad once it's all finished... but that it could be the catalyst for something else

I can understand this and somewhat agree. What is certain is that what's going to be enforced there is a 'destroy the Libyan military zone." A no fly zone is bullshit, although is sounds less violent for soccer moms. Assuming that this goes well, this action will send a clear signal to other regimes of what awaits them if they keep screwing up.

If nothing was done, then Kaddaffi would have easily beaten back the revolt. Brutal reprisals would have begun against the rebels and the west (specifically the US) would have been blamed. We're in a catch-22 that there's no way to win. So it looks like someone is at least trying to do the right thing, and it's at least consistent with a de-facto policy of supporting the people (Egypt) even though it may be our dictator and even though the change in political power could turn against us. At least Kaddaffi is a more palatable target as he's batshit crazy and publicly mills around in drag.

Again, I think you've got a valid concern as a worst-case scenario can spill over in a bad way. We'll see...
