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.
We on it lets make sure Libyans, friendly, to the US and dedicated to
running Libya not exporting terror run the Country. to all the idiots
that scream imperialism or other junk are not our friends and we really
don't give a hoot what they say.
It's about time US Leaders did a little succeeding. Let our Military do
it's job. Ask the Professionals what they need and let them get the job
done. It will be cheaper by far, in the long run, and we get something done.
no more half assing in Washington.


Sounds great. Only one little question...how do we 'make sure Libyans, friendly
to the US' take charge?

We don't even know who the rebels are, and we're not invading the country with a
few tank divisions.

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.

That's paranoid, but would be a wise course, for them....

Wow, that could make life a bitch. I wonder what we'll do when they go after
Saudi Arabia.

Since nearly all of the 911 attackers were from Saudi Arabia.... been
there done that.....

Bottom Line? give people a taste of freedom and self determination and
things will take their own course.

The Libyans (unlike the Iraqis) are the best current example of folks
willing to fight and die for that cause. Morally, we owe them a bit of
help..... and should NOT turn our backs on them the way we did the
Poles in WWII.....

To place this in historical perspective... we should be eternally
grateful to the French for providing damn near every grain of powder
fired by US during the American Revolution..... otherwise you'd be
speaking British, today....

Well, my gosh. It's nice to know you have such a great warmth for all those
rebels everywhere.

I sure as hell hope you're right and they're all 'good guys'!

I am, also, not Pollyanna... I hope so, too.... sometimes you just
have to give it your best shot and hope your best guess won't come
back and slap you silly....

I guess erring on the positive side is better than doing nothing....
however, the "fool me once" caveat kicks in and we don't get silly
twice....


If Afghanistan is once...and it is, then Libya is twice. Even Gen Ham can't
answer the questions he's given.


Keep your fingers crossed.... this really is a gamble.... an honest
gamble.... but, in all honesty, a gamble...


I'm thinking it's a gamble designed to attract some Republican and Independent
votes...nothing more.

Whose democracy? What you said was nonsense.
We risk our troops and expend our resources for what: alQuaeda or the
Islamic Brotherhood?
It is foolish to play the crusading avenger for our enemies benefits.
We do still have resources don't we? Find the friendlies and let them
lead. Or would you rather we had liberated Europe and let the Fascist
regain control. Do you remember that we had constant problems from
Hitler's boys until 1948 at least.
Damned straight we better look out for our interests and the People
freed from under QDaffi.

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.
We on it lets make sure Libyans, friendly, to the US and dedicated to
running Libya not exporting terror run the Country. to all the idiots
that scream imperialism or other junk are not our friends and we really
don't give a hoot what they say.
It's about time US Leaders did a little succeeding. Let our Military do
it's job. Ask the Professionals what they need and let them get the job
done. It will be cheaper by far, in the long run, and we get
something done.
no more half assing in Washington.

Sounds great. Only one little question...how do we 'make sure
Libyans, friendly
to the US' take charge?

We don't even know who the rebels are, and we're not invading the
country with a
few tank divisions.


How about we let them decide who they like or don't like and who's in
charge based on actions rather than words? Oh wait, you don't really
care about democracy unless you're in charge.

Whose democracy? What you said was nonsense.
We risk our troops and expend our resources for what: alQuaeda or the
Islamic Brotherhood?
It is foolish to play the crusading avenger for our enemies benefits.
We do still have resources don't we? Find the friendlies and let them
lead. Or would you rather we had liberated Europe and let the Fascist
regain control. Do you remember that we had constant problems from
Hitler's boys until 1948 at least.
Damned straight we better look out for our interests and the People
freed from under QDaffi.


Why not Yemen or Behrain where the government shoot unarmed civilians?
