THE WALL STREET JOURNAL: LONDON—The U.K. welcomed what it said was a "significant change" in the U.S. position on no-fly zones over Libya after a week of frustration from Britain and France at what they saw as foot-dragging by other nations on the issue.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
