PJ Crowley on the United States’ Role in Rebuilding Libya

The Takeaway

Last night, rebels swiftly too the Libyan capital of Tripoli, marking the beginning of the end of Col. Moammar Gadhafi’s 42 year rule. While clashes continue this morning between the rebels and Gadhafi loyalists, it is clear a new era is beginning in Libya. Many questions are now being raised over the continued role of the United States and NATO as transformation takes hold in Libya. P.J. Crowley, former spokeman for the U.S. State Department, is the Omar N. Bradley Chair in  Strategic  Leadership, a joint initiative among the United States Army War College, Dickinson College, and the Pennsylvania State University. He speaks about the role of the U.S. in Libya’s future.
