Abstract

This chapter presents the deliberations that resulted in the decision to intervene when Benghazi was on the verge of being overrun by Gaddafi forces, with a focus on the bureaucratic infighting and the emergence of a “dream team” supportive of US intervention, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was previously opposed. US Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice was tasked with leading the charge and obtaining a robust UN resolution. This chapter also gives a description of US military deployment to enforce Resolution 1973, which authorized member states to take “all necessary measures” to protect civilians, including air strikes against Libyan tanks and heavy artillery and a no-fly zone.
