What were you guys expecting him to say? We attacked Libya because NATO allies demanded our help, quid pro quo for Iraq and Afghanistan? That we would attack Libya not Bahrain or Saudi Arabia because Gadaffi is our enemy and King Saud is not? That he didn't talk to the GOP leadership because they didn't have the huevos to back their own actions? The GOP demanded we attack, yet when he did, they dithered in their response in case it failed so they could have plausible deniability, gutless whimps. The only reason he finally decided to do it was the probability that it did save some lives of the demonstrators (rebels), so he had a weak but effective defense of his actions. Obama ate this "turd sandwich" (as he himself put it) because of political pressure from our allies and the spineless GOP, he handed it over to NATO as soon as the half assed French got prepared and the Brits could re-allocate their stretched forces. As usual, we were the only one's around the disaster area with assets when the poop hit the rotating blades. Maybe the Italians will provide pizza. The only completely honest player in this whole dog and pony show? Kucinich.
