This From Voice of America:
NATO member states have agreed to assume command of a no-fly zone over Libya, and are considering whether to take on broader responsibilities outlined in two U.N. Security Council resolutions.
The U.S. initially agreed to lead enforcement of the UN resolution, but made clear it wanted only a limited role and would hand over responsibility as soon as possible.
Whew! That Takes Care of Our ‘No Fly’ Zone Responsibilities.
Well, that would not be quite right.
The operative term is ‘No Fly’ zone. Nobody wants to be mired on the ground for . . . how long? And what is the goal? This is developing into a colossal mess. But, at least the ‘No
Fly” responsibility will be NATO’S, not ours, right? Actually neither the Administration nor the media has explained who the Supreme NATO commander is. He is United States Admiral James G. Stavridis.
We are still in charge after all. It is the same drill as “We have to pass it so we can find out what is in it.” We all know how that’s working out. How does this compare to Iraq? In Iraq we actually ‘got our man’. Oh, another thing, In Iraq, we didn’t partner up with Al Qaeda.
