Hillary Clinton: Libya Mission’s Progress ‘Demonstrates Really Remarkable Leadership’ Appearing on This Week, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said of the mission in Libya: “But what is quite remarkable here is that NATO assuming the responsibility for the entire mission means that the United States will move to a supporting role. Just as our allies are helping us in Afghanistan where we bear the disproportionate amount of sacrifice and the cost, we are supporting a mission through NATO that was very much initiated by European requests joined by Arab requests. I think this is a watershed moment in international decision making. We learned a lot in the 1990s. We saw what happened in Rwanda. It took a long time in the Balkans, in Kosovo to deal with a tyrant. But I think in — what has happened since March 1st and we’re not even done with the month demonstrates really remarkable leadership.”
