That’s the question USA Today asks
France and Great Britain failed to persuade European allies to back a no-fly zone over Libya, a development that could influence President Obama’s thinking on the subject.
Russia and Germany objected to a no-fly zone during meetings of the Group of Eight in Paris, Reuters reports.
“Military intervention is not the solution,” German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said. “From our point of view it is very difficult and dangerous.
“We do not want to get sucked into a war in North Africa, and we would not like to step on a slippery slope where we all are at the end in a war,” he said.
President Obama has said a no-fly zone is an option, but he wants to work in concert with global allies.
What will Obama do? The same as he’s been doing: following and dithering. He’ll make a pronouncement, then ignore the situation.
Interesting how it’s All About Obama. It’d be nice if he’d show some leadership for a change, put the US at the forefront, buy, hey, we are just another country in the world, nothing special, in Obamaworld.
