Pace of Events in Middle East Unprecedented, Says Crowley

PJ Crowley, the former State Department spokesman, in an interview with Al Jazeera, has said that the events in Middle East are unfolding at an unprecedented speed and scope and that it's very difficult to predict outcomes.
Crowley has denied that there was a split between the Pentagon and the State Department over the military action in Libya.
He said that it's difficult and challenging to construct an approach that has the right balance of military action and diplomacy.
The former State Department spokesman reiterated that the US approach to the region has been consistent and it has evolved over time
