By not in system - AOL NewsTOBRUK, Libya -- The U.N. Security Council on Thursday authorized "all necessary measures" to stop Moammar Gadhafi in Libya - including strikes by sea and air - hours after he vowed in harrowing terms to launch a final assault and crush the weeks-old rebellion against him.

Hillary and the Road Ahead in 2009
By David Knowles - Politics DailyAlongside Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Hillary and Bill Clinton helped usher in the New Year in New York's Time Square, unleashing the symbolic ball drop before a million frigid revelers (and their much warmer television-viewing counterparts) below. The happy former first couple then shared a Sinatra moment and danced-in 2009. What lies ahead for our new Secretary of State, however, may prove to be far less enjoyable for Hillary.
