Canadian general to take NATO command of Libya

{25 March 2011}

TORONTO â€“ 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.

...
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.

Destroying the enemy and his capabilities has now been termed "kinetic".

Winning hearts and minds is now termed "non-kinetic". Guess it sounds better than lethal and nonlethal. We don't want people knowing that the military kills people.
