She told CBS News Correspondent Wyatt Andrews from Cairo, however, that members of the UN Security Council have been given new impetus to act now that the Arab League has asked for a no-fly zone over Libya.
...
Whatever the Security Council decides, Clinton said, it's clear that any action must include Arab leadership and Arab participation.
"How that will be defined depends in large measure on what the UN Security Council decides to call for," she told Andrews.
The Arab League's call for military intervention "suggests that they know that they have to step up and lead and participate in any action that would be internationally authorized," Clinton added.
The Arab League's statement created a "sea change in opinion" and led to a more open discussion at the United Nations, Clinton said. China and Russia, she claimed, are "willing to discuss what's at stake here -- a regime that is acting as he is, with all of the consequences that that entails, not only for the Libyans but for the region and beyond."
Meanwhile, as soldiers and riot police in Bahrain use tear gas and armored vehicles against anti-government protesters, Clinton said the Obama administration has "made it very clear to the Bahraini Government at the highest levels that we expect them to exercise restraint."
"They are on the wrong track. There is no security answer to this," she said. "And the sooner they get back to the negotiating table and start trying to answer the legitimate needs of the people, the sooner there can be a resolution that will be in the best interest of everyone."

Let’s see... the Arab League (led by Lebanon, which is an illegitmate and illegal occupation government, a puppet of Iran and Syria) calls for someone else, anyone else, to create a no-fly zone in Libya. Meanwhile, many Arab League regimes (Syria today, but recently Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Yemen, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco...) have experienced the very thing Gaddafi has been experiencing these past few weeks.
ALL of this is going to make life worse in the Arab world, and ALL of this will then be blamed on the US and maybe even on the Obama administration.
Obama doesn’t care, of course.

Thats what Egypt told Hillary.
“The Arab League’s call for military intervention “
They call on us to open a third war? Hmmmm...offer pay for it first and then maybe. But I call on the Arab League to intervene with their soldiers anytime they want.
Who ever thought this chick was so brilliant? What an idiot.
Obama is a coward and America’s First Failed Pres__ent.
I think the auto correct on her iPhone kicked it. I think it replaced "any" with "unilateral".
Clinton: There's "no way" United States will take ANY action in Libya
