Poised For Something

Libyan rebels are poised to march north on Tripoli, but Russia is poised to work with South Africa (and the African Union) to save Khaddafi's regime.

I remain shocked that Russia didn't veto the UN Security Council resolution authorizing this war. But perhaps the Russians made a mistake thinking it was just a pointless no-fly zone they were authorizing.

Now they may be trying to correct their earlier mistake or misjudgment.
