Libya

Former Libyan dictator Muammar Gadhafi, who’s been in hiding since August when a NATO-backed rebel force seized his headquarters in Tripoli, was killed on Thursday after rebels stormed his hometown of Sirte, where the last remnants of troops loyal to him were hiding. He was 69 years old.

With Moammar Gadhafi apparently on the offensive, the United States has joined forces with other nations and has officially launched attacks with Tomahawk missiles.  As you will read below, the U.S. is careful not to announce themselves as the leader in these attacks, but using our military in conjunction with other countries.
