Drew ... sure are getting a slightly different picture here. One pundit is critical in fact, that America is not showing leadership but has taken a self professed back seat.
Interviews with Libyans (radio) seem to be thanking Sarkozy and France for intervention, the whole damn thing is bogus anyway BUT ... also according to the report last night, and it surprised me I admit, the USA is funding 75% of the NATO bill.
BBC last night ... The World Tonight VERY good program .
BBC Radio 4 / 24 May 2011
In a special programme to co-incide with President Obama’s visit, we ask: what are the limits of American power? With Robin Lustig in Washington.
