U.S. Naval Forces Commander gave reportser a little insight that U.S. Forces had rescued a crew member of the F15 Fighter Jet that had crashed in Libya. The other crew member was rescued by Libyans and transported to U.S. Forces. Allies continue to launch bomb attacks over northern Africa where this is a no-fly zone that is backed by the United Nations.
The aerial attacks have spread more since the no-fly zone has been established over several hundred miles from Benghazi. Members of Congress has expressed that the President probably doesn't have authority to commit the U.S. military to this operation. President Obama expressed, "the U.S. will hand over its role of military operations to other coalition members in a matter of days."
In addition, the United Nations is expected to vote to renew its mission in Afghanistan. The resolution is expected to be voted on Wednesday.
I don't think we shgould have a role in Libya, because it seems like everytime something happens in another country, the first thing that countries call for is to send the U.S. over. Why don't they come help us sometime? We need help over here too. I will jus be glad when everything is resolved, if that ever happens and everyone can do their own thing.
This reminds of what happened about Iraq. The hypocricy from these people is outstanding. It seems like the administration is making flip flops about leaving him in power or not. I wish they would make up their minds because they are spending like theirs no tomorrow on Libya.
ReplyDeleteI wrote my blog this week on the same thing. I'm with you, this occurring so close to home is scary. I also feel the same way. I know we need to keep our allies happy, but I hate that we always get involved and end up in the middle of everything. It makes me nervous for our future's sake.
ReplyDeleteI do think we need to help out Libya, currently Obama's foreign policy is nonexistent so its nice to see him actually doing something. However his claim that the US will be out in days is unrealistic and frankly just plain stupid.
