Hell, what's news about that? ...the left is attacking him here for the Lybian reason.


BULL. SHIT.

Tom Ricks was on ABC over the weekend lauding the action, saying "Give War a Chance". That's after having opposed the Iraq invasion, an ESSENTIALLY IDENTICAL circumstance (except Iraq has far more national security import than Libya for the US).

Kristof writes, "This is also one of the few times in history when outside forces have intervened militarily to save the lives of citizens from their government" ... conveniently forgetting the Iraq War which he so violently opposed was EXACTLY the same kind of intervention (but with a greater, national security purpose to boot).

Over half of Democrats support Obama's action (more Republicans, of course, since Republicans are not two-faced on the issue: If it was good for Iraq, it is good for Libya).



Those Republicans who DO NOT support it likely feel that way because of the discomfort of having an incompetent like Obama running yet another war.
