Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, on Wednesday night said the U.S. believed preparations should be made for military action that goes beyond a no-fly zone to protect Libyans under threat from forces loyal to Col. Moammar Gadhafi.
"The situation on the ground has evolved and… a no-fly zone has inherent limitations in terms of protection of civilians," Ms. Rice said.
The British and, in particular, France have led the charge to impose a no-fly zone over Libya. » | Alistair MacDonald and David Gauthier-Villars | Thursday, March 17, 2011
