Obama's coalition is starting to crumble.

"BRUSSELS (AP) - Sharp divisions prevented NATO from adopting a plan Monday for military airstrikes against Libya, as Turkish opposition blocked the alliance from approving a strategy. And European unity was further called into question at the European Union Monday, as Germany questioned the wisdom of the operation altogether.

The UN-backed airstrikes mounted so far against Moammar Gadhafi's force by Britain, France and the United States outside of their NATO roles also drew scathing criticism from Russia, a nation with which the alliance would like close strategic cooperation.

"The Security Council resolution is flawed, it allows everything and is reminiscent of a medieval call for a crusade," said Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. "In fact, it allows intervention in a sovereign state."

A day after Turkey declined to support a military plan for the alliance to enforce a Libya no-fly zone, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said support was possible but only if NATO's operation does not turn into an occupation.

Support from the Arab League was critical to obtaining U.N. approval for international action to protect Libyan civilians. But after the international operation began, the league chief Amr Moussa was quoted as telling reporters in Cairo that it should not have included attacks on Libyan targets on the ground."

Well the muslim, and European communities sucked us in again haven't they. I think that the important thing to remember with muslims peace isn't the end game. Peace is only a break between wars. Let them kill each other, and only respond when their actions threaten America.

I don't understand. The state run pro (democrat) war media is reporting that on day three the no fly zone has been a success. They wouldn't lie to us would they?

It's not Obama's coalition. Seriously, must people be so fucking stupid?

Not stupid. Partisan. The difference is partisans KNOW exactly what they are spinning and why.

Ummmm, no. It is a success. Hardly a big deal... it's not like Libya had much to throw at the coalition.

Even Obama, said that he put this coalition together at the urgings of Sec. State Clinton. If this is not his coalition then who's is it? Currently the US has command and control in this operation. That means that Obama, is CinC. According to Sec. Def Gates, the US wants to pass this authority on in the next few days. So far there have been no takers. How about it California Girl, do you have evidence to the contrary? By the way do you really have to swear to make your point?

Remember liberals always blame conservatives for their own indiscretions.

We had the Tomohawks and the refueling tankers. We had to be in charge at the outset. This action was asked for by the Arab league. The whining about ground strikes is ridiculous. Where do they think the anti aircraft missiles are kept?..in the clouds? I'm beginning to think you are an idiot.

he can't help being what he is.

that's what braindead hacks do.

I'd hardly say the Coalition is startng to crumble. The coalition isn't nato itself. It's roughly the UK, France, and Germany I think (Cant remember if the Germans are involved).

I still have mixed feelings about this conflict. But I support the troops. I think this will be the first stage of a change of international relations for decades to come. I'm just not sure if it's going to be good for us or not.

 

[Avatar4321]

Oh, and I don't think Obama could put together a coalition. He doesn't have the skills to be a leader.

It's very irritating... I find myself having to 'defend' Obama... I hate it when that happens.

Why would you hate defending what was right no matter where it came from.

Do you like defending people who continually try to destroy that which you hold precious?

Most people don't.

Some of us try to do what's right regardless. Doesn't mean what's right is easy or we like doing it when the time comes.

We had the Tomohawks and the refueling tankers. That is true. We had to be in charge at the outset. This is also true. No other country has the operational and strategic resources that the USA does. This action was asked for by the Arab league. This is also true. The whining about ground strikes is ridiculous. I agree with this statement too. Where do they think the anti aircraft missiles are kept?..in the clouds? Once again you and I are on the same page. I'm beginning to think you are an idiot.

Hi Huggy, you and I agree on every thing that you've posted. How does that make me an idiot?

OK now that was funny.

California is right. Even a socialist is right some times and you have to step up when they are if you are going t point out the things they do wrong. There is a huge difference between bad agendas and evil. Evil is wrong all the time, people with bad agendas are like a broken clock, they are right twice a day. give them some credit.

We are, now, the lead MILITARY in the coalition... but the Brits and French put the coalition together, not Obama. We are the lead military because we're best at it. This is NOT Obama's coalition. It is Cameron's and Sarkozy's coalition. Get the fuck over yourselves. This is not the US, it is the UN.

Much as I would like to slam Obama, I actually (grudgingly) respect him for it. It must seriously piss him off that he's had to launch a military action.
