Bloomsberg is reporting the US has vowed to withdraw air support from Operation Odyssey Dawn as of tomorrow. Says National Review’s Rich Lowry,

“And it doesn’t appear to be an April Fools’ story.”

Well, it sort of is. They’re only going go withdraw “until NATO requests them to stay.” Ed Morrisey predicts this will happen any minute now:

This declaration sounds more aimed at PR and spin than anything else. US warplanes are almost certainly going nowhere. The White House wants to put an arm’s length between the results in Libya and the President, and the best way to do that is to dump the whole problem on NATO. Given the amount of resources at NATO’s disposal for the mission without the US, expect the requests for American sorties to arrive as early as tonight. The only difference will be that Obama can now hang the failure to topple Gaddafi on NATO rather than shouldering the blame himself, or at least he thinks he can.
