Of course today's headline from the NY Times reads
Qaddafi’s Hold in Tripoli in Doubt as Rebels Advance Quite simply it is really hard for republicans to make that mental gymnastic of having for 8 years denounced as traitors those who did not support the commander in chief, celebrated themselves as liberators, argued that they were making the world a safer place through war to now argue roughly the exact opposite.
Obviously the same is true for liberals in their non-support/support for the various admins.
Blind ideology makes it hard to be objective.
For my part, if Qaddafy falls in the next month, that their continues to be no American casualties, and the rebels are able to impose their planned election with no one pulling a coup, (none of these things are guaranteed by any stretch mind you) I have a hard time seeing how or why the neocons froth at the mouth on this issue...
...But I would look forward to more pretzel logic as to why this was an awful, horrible, terribly bad thing to do
