Now Playing: KILL GADAFFI Phyllis Bennis: Analysis on the No-fly Zone & the Air Strikes Launched By Allied Forces on Libya

Description: KILL GADAFFI DemocracyNow.org - US and allied forces have launched a second wave of air strikes on Libya to enforce a no-fly zone. Targets have included Libya's air defenses, forces loyal to Col. Muammar Gaddafi and Gaddafi's fortified compound. The attacks on Libya began on Saturday, the eighth anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq. The Arab League had supported the establishment of a no-fly zone over Libya, but Arab League Chief Amr Moussa criticized the US-led air strikes. For analysis, we speak to Phyllis Bennis with New Internationalism Project at the Institute for Policy Studies. "The [US] government is going to great lengths to convince the public and world that we are not leading, but right now, at this beginning stage, there is no question the US is in command," Bennis says.
