Germany commits air force to Afghanistan, defends Libya vote

Berlin - The German government agreed Wednesday to commit its air force to the NATO mission in Afghanistan, a move it says will free up allied NATO troops to participate in military action against the Libyan regime of leader Moamer Gaddafi. The decision, due to be authorized by parliament on Friday, is aimed at indirectly supporting the implementation of a no-fly zone over Libya, by freeing up allied forces in Afghanistan, officials said.

Germany abstained last week in a UN Security Council vote on military action in Libya, and said it would not commit troops to such a mission.

On Tuesday, Germany pulled out of NATO operations in the Mediterranean, where the alliance is already involved in the Libya conflict by implementing an arms embargo.

The defence ministry said four ships with a total of 550 crew members had been placed back under German command, while 60 to 70 German troops participating in AWACS operations in the Mediterranean were also being withdrawn.

By all appearances, Germany was never on board with the mission to begin with..

coalitions need a strong leader.. and this one doesn't have one..
