No air strikes for the O force

I believe this particular article is probably intended for a more of republican viewer. I believe that this is the case because the comments being said about President Obama. The comments were basically pointing out his flaws and about the “no fly zone” in Libya. For example in the Washington’s post article the closing statement was “The Obama administration has developed a reputation for not being able to close the gap between rhetoric and results. Libya may be another case where Mr. Obama simply lacks the right stuff”. The article is said to be by the Washington times but with a few quotes from the Whitehouse chief of staff William Daley. This article is basically pointing out the amount of effort the us is putting in to stop or help get a grasp of control in Libya. Many comments are made about the Whitehouse’s input and the judgment from the Whitehouse to not act on the situation, one comment even said that Paris was showing more spine than Washington. Some Congressman in the us as well as NATO and a few Arab states believe that there should be a “no fly zone” over Libya put in place. The “no fly zone” is one of many solutions that can be done to aide in the crisis in Libya however this is the most backed idea. Much history goes into play if no action is taken such as the Bosnian civil war in 1992-1995; the US was seen as the nation that would practically be flies on the wall as long as no one invaded our soil. I agree with this article as far as the fact that there needs to be some sort of resolution involving aide, because our defense is the best and there is no serious threat, knowing our military and the outside support we would have in acting on Libya.
