Obama, at Summit, Seeks Financial Support for Egypt and Tunisia
"If wishes were horses, beggars would ride"President Obama tried to marshal global economic support for Egypt and Tunisia at a gathering of industrialized countries on Thursday, even as some European allies were privately urging him to boost Americas role in the military campaign in Libya. These crosscutting pressures show the complexity of the Arab upheaval and the responses it is drawing from major powers. While the United States is stressing the need to stabilize the economy of Egypt, its major Arab ally, France and Britain are eager to intensify the NATO air strikes on Libyas leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. Posted by: tipper 2011-05-26 |
