Incompetent Obama goes to war with no plan. "Throw money! Throw missles! Throw NATO!"

A NATO official said the fact that the 28-nation alliance had
agreed on a detailed operations plan for a no-fly zone was
significant. "However, that doesn't take into account the
political reality of having to reach agreement on whether to
execute it," the official said.

That agreement has thus far proved hard to find. While Obama,
Cameron and Sarkozy agreed NATO's command structure could be
used to support the coalition, French and Turkish objections
continued to throw a question mark over the future structure of
the alliance.

France, which launched the first strikes on Libya, has argued
against a prominent role for NATO, citing the U.S.-dominated
alliance's poor reputation in the Arab world. Turkey has said
the air strikes have already gone beyond what had been
sanctioned by the U.N. Security Council.

Other NATO states, most vocally Italy, say NATO should either
have command or no role at all.

Gaddafi's forces attacked two west Libyan towns on Tuesday,
killing dozens of people while rebels pinned down in the east
struggled themselves to create a command structure that can
capitalize on the allied help.

'TRANSFER WITHIN A FEW DAYS'

The U.N. Security Council resolution authorizing the action on
Libya passed by a 10-0 vote but Russia and China, among five
nations that abstained, have voiced doubts about the campaign,
echoed by other emerging powers such as India and Brazil.

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates told reporters in Moscow
that he still saw a quick handover.

"I don't want to get out in front of the diplomacy that's been
going on but I still think that a transfer within a few days is
likely," Gates told reporters on a visit to Russia.

Opinion polls show mixed U.S. public support for the Libya
campaign as some members of Congress step up criticism of Obama.
Some lawmakers say he waited too long to get involved. Others
say Obama has failed to define the mission in Libya and warn
about sending stretched U.S. forces into a third war.

Obama, who will return from a trip to Latin America Wednesday,
telephoned the Turkish and Qatari leaders Monday.

"I do believe the Turks have largely resolved the questions they
had before," the senior U.S. official said. "We're confident
that you are going to see more Arab participation than you've
seen already."

One U.N. Security Council diplomat said on condition of
anonymity that Turkey and United Arab Emirates were considering
participating in the Libya operations by patrolling the port of
Benghazi to ensure that it remained open for humanitarian
deliveries.

Obama: "I have yet to begin to think." "Let's have another
meeting first!"

When did Libya attack a NATO country?
