From Fox News: The United States took the lead in recognizing the cause of the rebel government in Libya, the White House national security adviser claimed Friday, not indicating whether he meant that lead was from behind."We have been leading the effort and led the effort prior to the fall of the Qaddafi government to recognize them," National Security Adviser Tom Donilon said in a speech at the Economic Club of Washington.
But Donilan's claims appear to conflict with recent history.
The U.S. and more than 30 other nations formally recognized the National Transitional Council on July 15, four months after France. French President Nikolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister David Cameron were on the ground in Libya this week meeting with officials of the NTC.
In April, the U.S. State Department actually belittled the idea of formal recognition by the U.S., noting that it wasn't the "be all and end all."

Considering that the war is not even officially over, Gadafffi is nowhere to be found and we do not know who is in charge of the country of Libya, for the Obama administration to pull this out of their collective butts is just astounding.
