What in the Hell Are We Doing in Libya?
Is the President already bored with LIbya? As Byron York reports here. President Obama hasn't mentioned Libya publicly in 12 days,. Meanwhile Qaddafi battles back and forth with the 'rebels', American's are on the sidelines and the Brits are sending in troops. So just why are we in LIbya? Pat Buchanan asks that here. He has been highly critical of this 'war', though he also criticized the Iraq war for the same reasons. I differed with him there, but think he is right about Libya. We didn't take him out in 1986, let him go after Lockerbie, then struck a deal with him after he gave up his WMD's in 2003. He's a schmuck, but seems like we have bigger fish to fry. President Obama has stuck the prior administration policies in Afghanistan and Iraq and it has served our country well. This one may not turn out so well unless he re-commits our military soon and stops relying on the Europeans to lead it. They haven't won a war since they burned down the White House and even that didn't work out so well for them.
