If this is the right decision today then it was the right decision weeks ago when the rebels still controlled most of Libya. However, now that the US and our allies are finally acting I support the President and his efforts. I hope it isn’t too late.
What happened to “Gaddafi must leave”? UN 1973 doesn’t mention it.
I have lots of problems with the initial stages and especially the lack of US attacks against Gaddafi’s ground forces. Perhaps that is coming. The lack of US carriers in the Med is astounding.
So far we have attacked Quacky’s air defense. The one weapons system he’s not using against the rebels. This is of course necessary to establish a NFZ but it isn’t helping the people fighting in Benghazi right now.
Three B-2 stealth bombers have dropped 40 bombs on a major Libyan airfield - Daily Air Force Defense and Aviation
Three B-2 stealth bombers have dropped 40 bombs on a major Libyan airfield:
"Three B-2 stealth bombers flying non-stop from the United States have dropped 40 bombs on a major Libyan airfield tonight in an attempt to destroy much of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi's air force, CBS News David Martin reports.
At the same time, US Air Force fighter jets conducted missions searching for Libyan ground forces to attack. No US aircraft were lost during the missions. Libyan state TV is reporting that air strikes have killed 48 people and wounded 150 in "civilian areas."
Libyan state TV is controlled by Muammar Qaddafi's government and it was impossible to confirm the reports of civilian deaths Saturday."
