Lybia

Following in the wake of the Egypt's successful protests, the people of Lybia took to the streets to protest the rule of Moammar Gadhafi. He responded with violence.  The USA, in concern of its citizens evacuate their embassy. Obama, speaking on behafe of the United States, among others stated that he [Gadhafi] needs to step down.
This Tuesday, Obama addressed the nation to speak in support of the military action that the States took to suppress action in Lybia. This action was because of the advances that the Lybian forces were completing. It is slightly ......  that he had to state that he [Obama] only acted after full support of Congress. The main areas that were attacked military aspects as well as creating a no-fly zone. It seemed to be of importance that their were no use of ground troops. It was also mentioned that the US were not alone in this venture; NATO will be taking a more active role after this. While I do slightly understand the reasons, I found it slightly annoying that Obama mention alot of countries as our closest allies.
