Arab League splits with the west after just one day on No Fly Zone bombs. Looks like they thought a no fly zone actually meant no flying planes or bombs in that zone to protect civilians, such quaint old fashioned logical ideas. The spin meister will set them straight I'm sure.
Quote:Calling an emergency meeting one day after attending the first gathering of the coalition in Paris, Mr Moussa said that he agreed to the protection of civilians, not the bombardment of more civilians.
Quote:The support of the Arab League is central to the claim by David Cameron, Nicolas Sarkozy and Barack Obama that the operation has regional support. This supposedly makes it different from Iraq in 2003......Mr Moussa's statement throws that ambition into doubt.
Quote:No partner in this coalition wants to assume the leadership of fighting this campaign. The Americans are hiding behind the Europeans, and both are using the Arab League as cover. But whether they like it or not, each country involved will bear responsibility for how this ends. It may not be pretty.http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/...rab-league
