Boots on the ground seems more and more likely...
President Obama has joined David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy in calling for the violent ouster of Qaddafi. Whereas military intervention in Libya was initially said to be a merely humanitarian role, preventing Qaddafi's forces from slaughtering the rebels, now the operation's mission has apparently changed. When did Obama tell Congress or the American people? Oh yeah... NEVER.
More importantly: who will ultimately lead the ouster of Qaddafi? Obama? Rasmussen? Or... possibly... Solana? The EU's new operations headquarters is in Rome. Someone needs to step up and assume command there.
