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.

Here we go. People better get used to this, because this is what happens when America abrogates their Leadership.
Then you'd better have boots on the ground, because his replacement, if you leave Libya alone, will be worse.
Silly me, I thought we were loved by the world since January of 2009.
Everything is going to hell. Wonder why? /sarc
>> Everything he touches...
Uncanny, isn’t it.
Wasn’t this the guy who campaigned on the paradigm that Diplomacy Solves Everything?
Well, the coalition falling apart is as purely diplomatic problem as we see these days. It is not only possible to solve it diplomatically... that is the ONLY way to solve it.
And yet, Boy Genius is totally screwing it up.
Asked for an estimate, British Armed Forces Minister Nick Harvey said: 'How long is a piece of string? We don't know how long this is going to go on.
'We don't know if this is going to result in a stalemate. We don't know if his capabilities are going to be degraded quickly. Ask me again in a week.'
In the U.S., Obama has made it clear he wants no part of any leadership role in Libya.
Germany, which opposed military action against Libya, pulled its forces in the Mediterranean from NATO and put them under exclusively German command, the German news agency DPA reported yesterday.
The Daily Mail source made it sound as if Germany is pulling out of NATO altogether.
Way to go.....Zero.
Well put.
You’ve GOT to be s#!()^g me!?! Is this story real?
It’s beginning to look like his replacement is going to be Saddam Hussein.
Barry couldn’t have f***ed this up anymore if he’d tried.
..changing our image in the world alright.
Reagan brought down the Warsaw Pact.
Obama will bring down NATO.
What an accomplishment. :)
NATO, the powerhouse.
Odyssey Done
Well... that was quick.
And of course, the vacationing 0bama probably has no clue this has occurred. Mustn’t disturb The Won while he’s enjoying dinner at the resort.
I'm guessing that the falling apart of NATO is yet another success in his mind.
Let's see the 'One' get out of this pretzel ...
I see some potential for a new NASCAR racing series, too. Junior Johnson never could have dreamed of something this wild . . .
France is next... Obama incites mobs and WWIII he makes Carter look welcoming.
Wait just a cotton-pickin’ second, here...
The Germans are pulling out because it ~isn’t~ the U.S. leading the coalition?
When liberals go to war: there are no winners. Just losers. :)
