By not in system - AOL NewsPARIS -- France said today that Qatar will join the international operation against the forces of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi within hours.

World Intervenes in Libya, With Unusual Speed
By not in system - AOL NewsPARIS -- In diplomatic terms, international military action against Libya's leader went from the brainstorming stage to the shooting-at-tanks stage with stunning speed. Saturday's launch of military strikes by French, British and U.S. forces with Arab backing and U.N. mandate was not universally endorsed. And it's unclear whether it will be fast enough to do what its proponents want, to shore up rebel forces and oust Libya's leader Moammar Gadhafi. But the cascade of quick, weighty decisions getting there was unusual - just one of the unusual things about this dramatic operation. It ...
Obama's Juggle: Libya War and Latin America
By not in system - AOL NewsBRASILIA, Brazil -- As American missiles struck Libya, President Barack Obama doggedly promoted his Latin American agenda Saturday, praising Brazil as a soaring economic force and brimming market for trade. Back home, his message was all but lost in the roar over the Libyan conflict. "The United States doesn't simply recognize Brazil's rise; we support it enthusiastically," Obama said from this capital city as he launched a five-day outreach mission that will also take him to Chile and El Salvador. He began in Brazil as a sign of solidary between the two largest democracies and economies in ...

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 ...
US Eyes Libyan Opposition; Allies Call for Action
By not in system - AOL NewsPARIS -- Under pressure from allies and growing calls for military intervention in Libya, the Obama administration on Monday held its first high-level talks with the Libyan opposition and introduced a liaison to deal full time with their ranks. But it remained undecided about exactly how much support to lend a group it still knows little about while turmoil and uncertainty increase across the Arab world. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton held a late-night, 45-minute meeting with a senior Libyan opposition figure after discussing the widening crisis with French President Nicolas ...
