Stubb would not send Finnish troops to Libyan no-fly zone
Local Finland News In English

Alexander Stubb (cons), Finland's foreign minister, made a statement on Monday saying that Finland is not to participate in monitoring the Libyan no-fly zone. Instead Stubb suggested that Finland could participate in delivering humanitarian aid to the area or helping to evacuate refugees. Swedish papers reported earlier on the same day that Nato was planning to request both Finnish and Swedish participation in its Libya operations, specifically in the no-fly zone. Both countries have a partnership for peace with Nato and have participated in Nato's aerial warfare training. Source: Helsinki Times

U.S. General: We Won't Help Libya's Rebels (Unless We Do):

The general in charge of enforcing the no-fly zone over Libya swears that he's not actively aiding the rebels there. His pilots are just, um, blowing up Moammar Gadhafi's tanks. Get your razor blade out, because it's time to slice some answers mighty thin. Ref. Source 8

What is the plan with Libya, exactly?

We'll probably never know Obama's Libya plans because the press won't bother to question him about it and his case so far is cloudy at best. He and members of his own administration have even voiced clear opposition to similar operations in the past (I.e. Biden said he'd lead the charge to impeach Bush if he authorized military action against Iran). It doesn't make any sense - Glenn tries to sort out the mess on radio today. Ref. Source 6
