More tweets tonight from P.J. Crowley about Secretary Clinton working the phones, this time about Libya. Obviously the AU call has to do with some way of preventing additional mercenaries from entering Libya. I am hearing more and more that the international community should be acting through NATO. I know the SOS goes where the President sends her, but a trip to Geneva to ask the UNHRC to ban Libya seems a rather weak gesture. It borders on symbolic.
Clearly the U.S. cannot and should not move unilaterally, but from what a woman in Tripoli just told Anderson Cooper on the phone, some real signal needs to be sent by the international community. The people of Tripoli cannot hear us.
