Pentagon Briefing Announces U.S. Missile Strikes On Libyan Air Defense Targets
American and European forces have begun airstrikes on Libya, with both fighter jets and cruise missiles hitting targets in the country Saturday. In a Pentagon briefing, Vice Admiral William Gortney said U.S. Navy warships and submarines had fired 110 Tomahawk missiles, striking air defense targets around Tripoli and Misurata.
President Obama, on a visit to Brazil, made clear again that no American ground forces would be involved in military action in Libya:
“I am deeply aware of the risks of any military action, no matter what limits we place on it,” he said. “I want the American people to know that the use of force is not our first choice, and it’s not a choice that I make lightly. But we can’t stand idly by when a tyrant tells his people that there will be no mercy.”
