With their Libya bombing campaign dragging on unresolved, France and Britain have been forced to accept ruler Muammar al-Gaddafi may stay there if he quits power, despite calls for international justice.
Britain denied the joint position was a climb-down after it had repeatedly called for him to quit the country, while France last week was the first to openly suggest he could stay under a negotiated settlement.

Well, that was decisive and will change the way war is taught. lol
Daffy has had to be protected from assassination from the beginning, this is the Middle East where the word comes from.
God, these reporters are dumb.
” ... pressure from the French side to try to find a political solution,” said Denis Bauchard, of the Paris-based international relations institute IFRI.
“The British are going the same way as France, who are taking the lead in this matter.”
The French are in their comfort zone now.

Luckily Obama had universal approval from the whole world on this, not some stupid "coalition of the willing" like Bush. UN resolution, the Arab League, NATO ... yep, they're all on board with this no fly zone. I mean civilian protection force. Or kinetic military action.
Where's the press with their quagmire stories?

International justice, who has killed more Libyans in the past six months, daffy or NATO?????
This is a mind game against Gaddafi. NATO members know there is no way the rebels are going to storm and take Tripoli.
England wants out?? Maybe the Queen listened to the Obama CDs or is getting back for the return of the Churchill bust?
Good. We shouldn’t be there either.
France surrenders... Not exactly what I’d call breaking news.

And I want to ask all the African-Americans why the US hasn't tried to stop the continuous slaughter in the Sudan, Somalia, Congo, and other parts of Africa. Where are you Franken, Jackson, and all you bleeding hearts when needed?
Children are starving and being hacked to pieces every day in your precious Motherland - but you say little to nothing. I absolutely despise you hypocritical liberal/socialist opportunists.
