Mission creep, anyone?
President Obama has approved the use of armed Predator drone aircraft in the skies over Libya, The Associated Press reports, adding that Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced the news at a Pentagon news conference.
According to the AP, “Marine Gen. James Cartwright, speaking alongside Gates, said the first Predator mission was scheduled for Thursday but it was scratched due to poor weather. Cartwright said the Predators allow low-level precision attacks on Libyan government forces.”
Wait, I thought Obama said we were pretty much done with Libya?
The Lefties at Firedoglake aren’t particularly happy about this turn of events, but, just can’t find it in themselves to condemn The One.
