Obama barely mentions Libya as Boehner demands details

RIO de JANEIRO, Brazil (CNN) – As the massive bombardment of Libya continued for a second day over 5,000 miles away from here, President Obama delivered a speech that did not mention any specifics about the U.S. role in the military action despite Republican demands for him to better define the mission.

“We’ve seen the people of Libya take a courageous stand against a regime determined to brutalize its own citizens,” Obama said in a 25-minute address that only briefly mentioned Libya.

“Across the region, we have seen young people rise up – a new generation demanding the right to determine their own future,” added Obama. “From the beginning, we have made clear that the change they seek must be driven by their own people.”
