NATO Agrees To Take Over Command Of Libya No-Fly Zone, U.S. Likely To
Remain In Charge Of Brunt Of Combat
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The United States welcomed a partial handover for
the Libyan air campaign to NATO on Thursday, but the allies apparently
balked at assuming full control and the U.S. military was left in
charge of the brunt of combat.
NATO agreed to take over command of the newly established no-fly zone
over Libya, protective flights meant to deter Libyan strongman Moammar
Gadhafi from putting warplanes in the air. That leaves the U.S. with
responsibility for attacks on Gadhafi's ground forces and other
targets, which are the toughest and most controversial portion of the
operation....
It is certain that NATO wishes the United states all the grief, while
the United Nations shares the glory within itself. This is nothing
new. The United Nations prefers to hate the U.S. while it's leaders
try to appease the UN by bending forward before it, and giving the
American cheque payer the bill.
You should really vote in different politicians.
I got a really weird [maybe bad] feeling about this whole scenario.
You ever wonder if maybe *all* the uprisings over there are inspired by al
Queada, with the eventual goal of a totally radical Islamic side of the world.
Wow, that could make life a bitch. I wonder what we'll do when they go after
Saudi Arabia.
Saudi will not say boo and are quietly smilling. Saudi Arabia is a
major player behind this. US taxpayers get the bill, Saudi enjoy having
no threats in the middle east courtesy of American blood and American
taxpayers money-debt do it all.
From a Saudi perspective this is great. No local interfereance in
Saudi stuff because the other countries are in a mess or in colonial
Europe's control.
From a long term perpective Saudi are setting up US to have no allies
but Israel and even Israel is skidish right now on US commitment. US
Foreign policy is in the biggest mess ever.
Economically, puts the US into more debt, gets congress to sell the farm
for debt. Saudis know with many trillions of USD in their control from
Carlye group of GM fame, to the NYSE they hold US fate in their hands.
Dump $5 trillion USD and watch what happens to the US economy.
blackmail of sorts. Bush bailed out GM-Carlye as Bin Laden family had
deposits there. Obama has been a good back room boy and stepped up the
corruption.
Ever ask yourself why in Yemen and Behrain that a government sniper can
kill 52 unarmed protesters in one protest and Obama backs armed al_Quada
associates in Libya?
Ocam had it right, the simplest explanation, Obama is not in your best
interests.
