It's conference time in Washington,DC, and the minister is on the job. The OAS Conference on Hemispheric Anti-Terrorism is being held in the city this week. Representatives of the member nations are meeting daily to discuss related issues, including strategies, tactics, financial obligations, and expansion of activities, especially in Latin America.
The minister indicated that the conference is proceeding as planned, and is taking a back seat to other international events in North Africa, the Middle east, and Japan. NATO units commenced combat operations yesterday against Libyan forces of Moammar Ghaddafy in an attempt to halt his attacks on civilians protesting his dictatorship. Rebel forces are holding the key city of Benghazi in the eastern section of Libya. 120 cruise missiles were launched against targets throughout Libya, focusing on air defenses, air bases, and supply and communication points. France is leading the charge with the U.K. in close association. The US is also involved significantly, but Obama says no ground troops will be deployed. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton appeared on TV this morning, confirming the role of US forces in the operation. President Obama is in Brazil talking with the new president of that country, discussing trade, security, and the economy throughout the Americas.
Tomorrows talk shows have many topics to discuss and congressional leaders can pick any one to make points with voters, media reps, and viewers. Watch it!
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
