Deep divisions between allied forces currently bombing Libya worsened today as the German military announced it was pulling forces out of NATO over continued disagreement on who will lead the campaign.
A German military spokesman said it was recalling two frigates and AWACS surveillance plane crews from the Mediterranean, after fears they would be drawn into the conflict if NATO takes over control from the U.S.
The infighting comes as a heated meeting of NATO ambassadors yesterday failed to resolve whether the 28-nation alliance should run the operation to enforce a U.N.-mandated no-fly zone, diplomats said.
Yesterday a war of words erupted between the U.S. and Britain after the U.K. government claimed Muammar Gaddafi is a legitimate target for assassination.

LOL. No more restrictor plates!
Dang! I knew I never should have taken the $7000 rebate.
But, how can this be? Didn’t the coalition builder-in-chief put this all together? How could it ever fail???
“The Germans are pulling out because it ~isnt~ the U.S. leading the coalition?”
KUDOs to you, you spotted the golden nugget in that one. I bet the Bamster spilled his latte over that slip of the tongue. It was all an epic cover, from day one, that is, it was a US operation under the cover of NATO and Barry did not wish to have his finger prints on it. Well, in the paraphrased words of his famous republican turn coat supporter: you broke it, it is yours to fix. Of course the media will gloss over this one and blame it on someone other than Mr. Brilliance.
We lost almost 100,000 KIA in WWIII. It wasn’t cold.
“Whoever heard of a coalition falling apart after what, five days?”
I`m amazed it lasted 5 days.
This is an appalling failure of leadership on our part. I knew 0bama would be a bad President, but when you see it play out it’s really shocking just how bad he is, and how dangerous he is to our country and really to the world. Worse than Carter; worse even than Neville Chamberlain.
What will you do with the Mullahs & the ayatollah that replaces him.
Pretty much those are the two options in a muslim world that has never gone through its own Reformation.
you have either tyrants who rule with an iron fist, or you have shiaa islamic states run by islam.
Or are you also suffering from the delusion that there is any Arab “democracy” anywhere in the world that does not have American Combat troops on the ground?
Sheese.
We have Totus and 5 of his female family members touring the world on our nickel.
Not that much. They got the guts, they just need the discipline. Hand ‘em over to a good DI and you’d have soldiers in a short order.
Problem is, it would only work if they became America soldiers - if they tried to be Libyan soldiers they’d go back to tribalism.
weird how the world is on melt down,
now Israel has a bus blown up , the first time in years.
Yep obama you enjoy your vacation and take your mother in law and let her take her friend while we pay for it and yes we’ll just watch the world in turmoil
I cannot wait for the grown ups to take charge once again and get these left over hippies, people with college views out of our house
Dat's da richest kind! LOL!
Sadly the majority of voters of 2008 have accomplished this. I do hope this thinking will change.
So, if Germany is pulling out of NATO, where does that leave us in regards to our troops stationed over there?
What has this idiot done now? I would say that this is the law of unintended consequences run amuck, but I’m not sure it was unintended.
Yes , we will put boots on the ground and make it safe for the muslim brotherhood to form a new anti-American islamic republic. This is beyond stupid. Afghanstan is a total loss as we allowed a islamic government to take over. We need to bring all American troops home from the mid-east. They would be better served protecting our southern border.
It had been literally several weeks (at least 2) between vacations and the man needed a rest. One more thing, just because a guy throws like a girl, held hands with various POCK-ee-stahni room mates, wears "Mom" jeans, rides a girl's bike, belongs to a gay steam room in Chicago, has a gay party planner, had a Chief of Staff who was a ballet dancer, is married to a potential Eagles linebacker, and is accused of snorting coke with a horny gay guy in limos, is no reason for you to call him "effeminate."
Please show proper respect for the POTUS, who as you well know, is a victim of racism. As soon as the POTUS and his 1000-people posse get back from Latin America, I am reporting you to Reggie Love.
You can bet the peanut farmer is smiling too. He won't be considered the worst president ever.
Thank you!!!! That cracked me up!
