Turkey backs NATO command of Libya operations shows that the flurry of NATO meetings has resulted in agreement. This is good news. Turkey is a PLAYER! They have clout. The prediction that they will increase their influence over the ME/NA is coming.

All 28 members of NATO needed to back any agreement and Turkey had previously rejected backing any plan unless it was given assurances that the operation would be limited to protecting civilians, enforcing an arms embargo and a no-fly zone, and providing humanitarian aid.
 
Were I in charge in stead of Obama, first I would have pushed like hell to start this operation weeks ago.

That being said now I would put A-10s & Apache's in there and hit Gaddafi's ground operations with an all out air ro ground assault for a couple of days before turning control over to anyone.

It should be noted that our Command & Control will be needed for any possible success.
