Obama said NATO will be taking over in Libya on Wednesday but, now the date has changed to Thursday.
The ironic thing about obama turning this over to NATO is, NATO is dominated by the U.S. militarily and politically… so really the U.S. will still be running the show, just not directly …
The U.S. supplies 22 percent of NATO’s budget, almost as much as the next largest contributors Britain and France combined.
A three star general from Canada will be in charge of all NATO operation in Libya but his boss , is an American admiral and the American admirals boss is the Supreme Allied commander Europe , a post always held by an American…so bottom line, the U.S. the inevitable leader out of the gate will continue to be in demand.
Obama said the mission there was to protect civilians but with continued air strikes the the rebels are clearly advancing …so the end game remains unclear!!
Still it is worthy to note obama did not make a case to congress for this war…
Remember these statements of Obama’s:
“presidents should get congressional authorization before taking the country to war, absent a threat to the nation that cannot wait.”
