NATO takes over air operations as CIA works the ground in Libya - CNN.com
Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- NATO took sole command of air operations in Libya on Thursday as CIA operatives worked the field to connect with rebel fighters who have seen their surge toward Tripoli impeded.
The NATO mission -- called Operation Unified Protector-- includes an arms embargo, a no-fly zone and "actions to protect civilians and civilian centers," the alliance said Thursday.
So now the not-war not-led by the U.S. but only by the U.S.-led NATO to not-remove Gadhafi (whose name may or may not be spelled that way) from power will also involve not-boots on the ground but only the CIA, which is, of course, officially not there.
We are not impressed.
