More than a month and half after opposition rebels took to the streets of Libya to fight Moammar Gadhafi’s security forces, the Obama Administration said Thursday that the U.S. is mulling ideas on how to respond.
The situation has intensified and estimates of those killed by Gadhafi forces in a barrage of aircraft bombings and street battles vary. Opposition members tell The Examiner that help this late in the game may not do much good.
“Why was no one there for us,” said one Libyan opposition member to The Examiner. “Why are they not helping us now?”
US Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice told reporters Thursday “the U.S. view is that we need to be prepared to contemplate steps that include, but perhaps go beyond, a no-fly zone at this point.”
