Obama must have stuck his finger to the wind and discovered America doesn't want another war. As quick as he engaged in a war with Libya, he is already talking about exiting Libya. I have to ask, what has Obama accomplished other than spending a few billion dollars on air hours, bombs, and cruise missiles? Was their a plan to really make a difference in Libya? Is Obama backing down now that his lack of leadership has torn NATO apart? What was Obama wanting from attacking Libya? Qaddafi's removal?
We may never really know, but we do know this, whatever Obama hoped to accomplish by this illegal war, he has obviously quickly changed his mind.
In an interview with Univision Tuesday, President Obama re-defined the term “exit strategy,” and said our exit strategy in Libya would begin this week.
“The exit strategy will be executed this week,” President Obama said, “in the sense that we will be pulling back from our much more active efforts to shape the environment. We will still be in a support role. We will be supplying jamming, intelligence and other assets unique to us."
Why do I get the feeling the United States is looking pretty silly right now around the world, but not only that, but we look like an aggressor too--a wishy washy aggressor. Those are the worse kinds since they are unpredictable, which is exactly how I would explain Obama's one-week war against Libya.
