U.S. President Barrack Obama says the U.S. military mission in Libya is succeeding.
President Obama said in his weekly address Saturday that Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's "air defenses have been taken out" and his forces have been pushed back from cities where Libyans have risen up against him.
Mr. Obama noted the responsibility for the Libyan operation is being transferred from the U.S. to its NATO allies. He said this is how the international community should work with "more nations, not just the United States, bearing the responsibility and cost of upholding peace and security."
