Germany, a member of NATO, pulled out of Mediterranean operations against Libya.
Germany, along with Turkey, are reasons why NATO can not take the lead in actions against Libya. NATO must have all members on board, which it does not. It’s sure looks like Obama (U.S.), Sarkozy (France) and Cameron (U.K.) fail when it comes to coalition building.
This is why Obama will not keep his promise to Congress. He stated that the U.S. would relinquish its role in the attacks on Libya in “days”. It now looks like it could be weeks.
Sarkozy is such an idiot his people think the “coalition” can not only carry on without the U.S., but without any unified command and control. In other words, everyone in the coalition does their own thing.
This is looking more and more like a literal circus of war mongering clowns!
Oh, Germany says it’ll increase its presence in Afghanistan so other NATO countries can pull their troops out of Afghanistan to fight the Libyans. Kind of a roundabout way of supporting the attacks on Libya, while denouncing the attacks at the same time.
