TORONTO – A Canadian general will take over command of the NATO mission in Libya. Canadian Defense Minister Peter MacKay said Friday that Lt. Gen. Charles Bouchard has been designated to lead the alliance's military campaign in Libya. Bouchard is stationed in Naples, Italy, at the Allied Joint Force Command. Bouchard's recent job was deputy commander of NORAD, reporting to an American general. "He will be commander of the NATO operations, yet to be fully defined NATO operations," MacKay said. The international coalition confronting Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi has agreed to put NATO in charge of enforcing the no-fly zone. It was still trying to hammer out a deal to relieve U.S. forces of command of all military operations in the country. U.S. President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates have both said that American command of the operations would last only a few days.

I think Canada just had a vote of 'no confidence' from what I'm seeing elsewhere.
Atascadero sure has a large number of idiots (laughing my ass off)
The Canadian chickenhawks can now join the US neo-lib chickenhawks, and blame neocon whitey for the death toll in hObama's war.
I recall a re-run of MASH I saw where this uber right winger named Colonel Flagg... Hmmm, don't know the specifics yet as to why the vote was called. But thats as good as any, if a bit 'inside baseball' for anyone other than us political junkies.
