According to Reuters US President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing covert US support for Libyan rebel forces seeking to oust Colonel Gaddafi. Will it change the situation on the ground? Writer and radio host Stephen Landman says the US is committed for the long haul and that American, British and French forces have actually been supporting the rebel forces for some time. “It pains me to listen to him, about humanitarian aid,” he says, alleging Obama lied about the reasons for war. He argues intervention in Libya is illegal and violates the UN chatter. No nation may attack another except in self-defense, he contended.
