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.

Isn’t it great that the US gets along now with the rest of the world now that the evil Cowboy Bush is gone? /s
Yes, and after all, he was "trying." Remember, to the adoring sheeple, that's all that's needed.
According to the media he will put his cape on and part the seas nothing to worry about.
This is what happens when you have a president that leads by phoning it in. This whole thing was a cluster f*** from the word go. Let the damned Europeans police their own back yard for once.
Yeah, that’s a great idea. Let’s assassinate the leaders we don’t like in the Middle East. Won’t it be great when the Muslim Brotherhood takes over and we can have sharia law all over the Middle East.
It’s been a terrific improvement in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Egypt.
Next up: Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
Remeber when jimmy carter sent over troops to save the hostages....Failure.
Obama said we are not really there so confidence will dwindle.
In the future will Germans side with Iran against us?
My guess is that the U.S. pushed for this, so the Germans want nothing to do with it if the U.S. is going to be little more than a spectator with advanced weapons.
Nice picture. How many billions of taxpayer dollars and years do you think it will take to make a stand-up military out of THAT?
In honor of Obama, the words of Benny Hill:
They said that it could not be done,
He said “Just let me try.”
They said, “Other men have tried and failed,”
He answered, “But not I.”
They said, “It is impossible,”
He said, “There’s no such word.”
He closed his mind, he closed his heart...
To everything he heard.
He said, “Within the heart of man,
There is a tiny seed.
It grows until it blossoms,
It’s called the will to succeed.
Its roots are strength, its stem is hope,
Its petals inspiration,
Its thorns protect its strong green leaves,
With grim determination.
“Its stamens are its skills
Which help to shape each plan,
For there’s nothing in the universe
Beyond the scope of man.”
They thought that it could not be done,
Some even said they knew it,
But he faced up to what could not be done...
AND HE COULDN’T BLOODY DO IT!!!!
I saw a news report that Obama’s muslim brotherhood that he endorses is in the majority in Cairo.
"Obama, you're killing me here... do you EVER get anything right?"
Olympics
Global Warming Summit
World Tours
NASA
Bowing
The presents to the UK
Now Libya
Next.... all America.
It all turns to farakat (Yiddish)
This is a classic case of fallout from lack of leadership.
For the good of the country, the Republicans should ask Obama to end the operation, now.
Obama is a fecal King Midas: evrything he touches turns to dung.
Before the election, I said..........."he is the man that promises peace, and leaves nothing but destruction in his wake.
Regarding Obama / Libya some in FR told me a broken clock is right twice a day. Evidentally they’re on another planet that’s much bigger than earth with a much slower revolution.
soap opera!
