Clinton Warns NATO on Speedy Afghan Withdrawal
By not in system - AOL NewsBERLIN - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton warned NATO allies on Thursday against bringing forces home from Afghanistan too soon, even as the United States prepares to begin drawing down its forces in July. Saul Loeb, AFP / Getty Images Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has told NATO members that withdrawing alliance forces from Afghanistan too soon could undermine gains made in the war. Clinton said the Taliban will be watching what the alliance does in the coming months and that speedy reductions will hurt the fragile security progress made thus far. The ...
Clinton: NATO Nations Agree That Gadhafi Must Go
By not in system - AOL NewsBERLIN -- NATO nations stressed Thursday that their common aim in Libya is to bring an end to Moammar Gadhafi's regime, and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the world must increase its support for the Libyan opposition. The effort to enforce a no-fly zone over Libya topped the agenda at a two-day meeting of foreign ministers from NATO's 28 member countries. Three weeks of airstrikes haven't routed Gadhafi's forces, causing tensions in the alliance. Although NATO countries agree that Gadhafi must be ousted, his departure is not one of its military goals and the alliance has ...
US Likely to Keep Combat Role After Libya Shift
By not in system - AOL NewsWASHINGTON -- The United States welcomed a partial handover for the Libyan air campaign to NATO on Thursday, but the allies apparently balked at assuming full control and the U.S. military was left in charge of the brunt of combat. NATO agreed to take over command of the newly established no-fly zone over Libya, protective flights meant to deter Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi from putting warplanes in the air. That leaves the U.S. with responsibility for attacks on Gadhafi's ground forces and other targets, which are the toughest and most controversial portion of the operation. The U.S had ...
French Fighter Jets Open Fire in Libya as Western Military Intervention Begins
By Dana Kennedy - AOL NewsNICE, France -- Followed by the U.S and Britain, France kicked off an international military strike on Libya today that left Col. Moammar Gadhafi's air and missile defense systems "severely disabled," military officials said. The operation was launched eight years to the day after the U.S. announced the invasion of Iraq. French Mirage warplanes took the lead when they left a military base in Saint-Dizier in the east of France Saturday afternoon, destroying four pro-Gadhafi tanks outside Tripoli. The U.S. and Britain quickly joined the Allied air strike to prevent Gadhafi forces from further ...
Clinton Fears 'Gadhafi Will Commit Unspeakable Atrocities'
By not in system - AOL NewsPARIS -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday that the U.S. will bring "unique capabilities to bear" in Libya as a global coalition began enforcing a U.N.-authorized no-fly zone to protect civilians from Moammar Gadhafi's forces. The world will not "sit idly by," she said at a news conference, amid fears that Gadhafi will commit "unspeakable atrocities" against his people. Remy de la Mauviniere, AP U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton addresses reporters during a press conference held at the U.S. embassy in Paris on Saturday. "We have every reason to ...
World Leaders Meet in Paris for Critical Libya Talks
By not in system - AOL NewsPARIS -- World leaders met Saturday in a summit in Paris that could be the final step before immediate international military action against Moammar Gadhafi's forces in Libya. The emergency summit of Arab and European leaders and the chief of the U.N. took place as Gadhafi's forces swarmed into the one-time rebel stronghold of Benghazi -- apparently ignoring a proclaimed cease-fire by Libya's regime. The incursion into Benghazi and other cities by Gadhafi's forces could vastly complicate any international intervention, by allowing the troops to mingle in with the population -- making ...
US Tells Gadhafi to Pull Back From East Libya
By not in system - AOL NewsWASHINGTON -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says now that the U.N. has approved possible military action, the world is waiting to see whether Moammar Gadhafi's forces begin to retreat from opposition-controlled areas in east Libya. Clinton tells reporters in Washington that the U.S. isn't impressed by the Libyan government's claim of a cease-fire, saying "we would have to see action on the ground -- and that is not yet at all clear." Clinton said Friday that the first goal of international action is to end the violence in Libya. She said: "We have to see a very clear set of ...

Clinton: UN No-Fly Zone Requires Bombing Libya
By not in system - AOL NewsTUNIS, Tunisia -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Thursday that a U.N. no-fly zone over Libya would require bombing targets inside the country to reduce the threat posed by Moammar Gadhafi's forces. Her assessment made clear the risk of possible military intervention as world powers consider broader steps to protect civilians and pressure the Libyan leader. "A no-fly zone requires certain actions taken to protect the planes and the pilots, including bombing targets like the Libyan defense systems," Clinton said as she neared the end of a Middle East trip dominated by ...
