Confusion in Libyan Operation Continues

Since the allies launched military operations in Libya, confusion has begun to seep into the alliance over strategy, tactics and most importantly, who will run the operation once the U.S. relinquishes control. This is the prevailing conversation- who will run the operation once the United States cedes control.

Currently, there has been infighting among NATO members on who would lead the operation, it looks like the consensus has been reached that the operation would be run by committee. Right now it is unclear who will make up the committee, France objected to NATO taking command of dad to day operations and proposed a "political steering committee," made up of foreign ministers from the United States, European, and Arab states, to oversee the war.

Many unanswered questions still remain, with one of them being, does this mean U.S. forces could be under the command of a foreign military commander, whether that be from Europe, or of the Arab League?

What is our strategy? Is it to topple the Libyan government, or is it to protect civilians? The president has left the question ambiguous.
