The War Rages On

Today it became clear that President Obama has approved the use of at least two predator drones in Libya. The Secrtary of Defense said today, "he (President Obama) has approved the use of armed predators, and I think today may have been in fact their first mission," so the drones have been deployed and are already in operation in Libya.



Intense fighting continues on the ground in Libya as over 10,000 civilians flee the border with Tunisia near the western mountains. The rebels have gained a significant strategic claim in a week of difficult battle against Gaddafi forces.
