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.
If our Military handled it fine. if Washington State Department and
White House try to drive $#@%!@#$#%
Drive what? The military, in this country anyway, answers to the
political infrastructure.
The Military hasn't been allowed to fulfill, it's implied mission, victory.
Defeat was snatched from the jaws of victory, in Viet Nam thanks to
Kerry, Fonda and Fifth Columnists efforts here.
We have wasted lives and money in Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan, etc.
We have no mission goal in Libya although we assume we want to win???
something.
The goal should be American independent of what the UN or anyone else
declares. If we are going to expend our Money and risk our Military then
let's win. Let's go deliberately about getting rid of Qaddafi's forces
right now.
Let's not let alQuaeda or other hostiles take charge, of what we won.
