I've Been Thinking:

The Group of Eight, aka the G-8, is meeting in Norway. G-8 is an organization composed of the 8 most economically advanced nations in the world.

G-8 member nation Russia has expressed serious doubts about how Libya is being handled. The Russians have said that after two months they still see no progress and that the airstrikes are counterproductive.

They say that the tactics used by NATO are really just a way of siding with the opposition against Ghadaffi.

President Sarkozy of France countered by explaining that Ghadaffi must leave and that getting him to leave is a principle of the operation.

Russia is expressing a growing discontent with the NATO operation in Libya, the operation which began as a no fly zone. Russia has actually invited Ghadaffi advisers to Moscow and briefed them on how to progress in their defense against the Nato attacks.

I will not be surprised if Russia brings this issue before the Security Council to investigate the status of the Libya operation and to find out whether the Nato air strikes are outside the bounds of the resolution.
