Interesting New Developments in Africa & Middle East

The United States has pulled its jets out of Libya.

Now NATO is low on jets to attack Gaddafi-led forces.

What happened to our "humanitarian" concerns? We're waiting to hear, President Obama. Of course, it took 10 days for Obama to address the nation after he started bombing Gaddafi.

And now the French have started attacking the presidential palace in Ivory Coast. Joined by U.N. forces, they are attacking Mr. Gbabgo, who lost the bid for president of Ivory Coast last year but refused to yield to the legally-elected president, Mr. Ouattara. This has resulted in a year-long civil war and horrific massacres.

While the United Nations states it is “not a party to the conflict,” France says that they are in Ivory Coast "at the request of the United Nations" for humanitarian reasons.

So, are we in this fight, too?
