i think they didn't want to loose time, so the US had to help
jesus these last few posts explain why i dont want to be involved
Well, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation was created to protect Europe from the communists in the cold war if I recall correctly. Why would NATO still be around?
To answer your question, the US has the best military, so since they're basically leading the whole "Defend Europe!" organisation it should be led by a US general no?

Yeah (although that is still unconfirmed), but it wasn't Gaddafi's plane, as your link stated
*edit* Actually, it doesn't state that - I remembered it wrong (someone elses link said that). But the plane belonged to the rebels.

Honestly, I think it's because Bahrain et al are attempting to counter Iranian influence, which is fine with everyone but Iran...so no action against it, as hypocritical as it looks on the surface.Jay wrote:

i havent seen anything any worse than whats going on in most of those countries right now.
It's really because no one likes Gaddafi and he's in Europes backyard. All these other places are far away.

http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/meast … index.htmlManama, Bahrain (CNN) -- Security forces in Bahrain stormed the main hospital, beating doctors, and attacked demonstrators in Manama's Pearl Roundabout on Wednesday, witnesses in the Bahraini capital said. Bahraini officials deny these accounts.
Demonstrators reported hearing steady rounds of ammunition being fired while thick smoke rose from the Pearl Roundabout area. At least five helicopters whirred above the historic landmark, which has been a rallying spot for anti-government demonstrators in recent weeks.
No fly zone, take out the air defenses and send in ground troops I say.
Oh wait, they're our brutal despots.

I find this incredible, this was all started off by one dude. ONE DUDE. Who set himself on fire in Tunisia which kick started protests over there, and then it worked so it spread all over the region.

Well, none of the numbers and letters need to really mean anything for most people. Just that some Jet is transmitting messages on HF in Libya as part of US Psychological Operations
