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.

This is what happens when you try to run the country from the golf course.

If it’s falling apart this fast it means it
wasn’t put together very well.
You can’t just throw these things together, Barak.

Gadhafi is coming out of this smelling like a rose... Wow I just cannot believe what a complete cluster%uck this is. This intervention, what, put together over lunch and a few pencils/napkins? Obama just said ok, and didn’t even bother to mention it to America? Totally insane, hope it costs Obama any slim hope of being elected.

Like Carter, Obama is making a huge mess out of foreign policy, and I can only hope we wind up getting 12-16 yrs of conservatives running the W/H because of him.

Can't say I'm in favor of assassination as a tool of diplomacy, but if there was ever a character that needed killing, Qaddafi is the one

The Krauts finally read Rommel’s book!

Actually this is huge.

Whoever heard of a coalition falling apart after what, five days?

Obama the Last needs to be impeached.

GW was a real man. Bothers me so much how he got smeared by the left, and even folks that are supposedly conservatives/and or republican.

GW, I miss you, you were an AWESOME President!
