It will take decades to fully assess the damage Professor O’Barry has done to America and the world. Without clear direction, the Middle East will swerve into the ditch like a drunk who fell asleep at the wheel. The results will not be good for us or the rest of the world.

The people of the middle east have as much right to determine their destinies as anyone in the the US, UK, France, Ireland, or Germany. The “direction” you imply as a necessity for them is an imposition. Let’s see how you feel when China decides to assert itself and “direct” us.

Your observation begs the question, “Why are we in Libya”?
Anyway, the world loves Obama the way my kids love when they have a substitue teacher.

“We” are not in Libya. I am in Florida, and I’m assuming you are in some region of North America or another. The U.S. military is in Libya and Mediterranean off the coast of it, and even then only part of the military.
The US military is there because Obama is playing the “War Card” in the hope that humanitarian war (an oxymoron for another day) and militaristic interventionism will give him a bump in the poll numbers. It is also happening because a bunch of morons years ago pledged portions of the money and blood of people living in parts of North America to the UN (a farcical non-entity) and it’s charter consistent resolutions.
There is also the matter of European oligarchical designs on maintaining/restoring the Libyan oil supplies to their fiat controlled regions. While on the note of oil, the US military is there also in an opportunistic design to deny that same Libyan oil to Chinese control or supply to the Chinese.
The more aggressive Neoconservatives and Liberal Interationalists want(ed) Obama to;
1. Go farther and orchestrate a US government-run puppet “democracy” in Libya as just one more stop on their arrogant ivory tower conceived global crusade of aggressive invasion and regime change to impose western direction and democracy at the point of a gun around the edges of a crater left by the bombing campaigns.
2. Do it faster. - Anonymous
Which liberals wanted to set up a puppet democracy?
That’s generally a neocon favorite.

Obama, Clinton, Sarkozy, Juan Williams, and Krystal Ball to name a few off of the top of my head. There has yet to be a single contributor to Fox News that I’ve heard denounce this Libyan interventionism for the absurdity that it is, and some of them are “liberal,” despite denials of some.
Though to your point, only 51% of Democrats support this garbage while 57% of Republicans do. There are still more international busybodies on “the right” it seems.

I don’t believe they’ve supported setting up a government in place of Qaddafi.

That’s why the Navy is systematically bombing Qaddafi’s compounds and the diplomats are pressuring his abdication?

He wanted to show his subserviance to the U.N. and the world governments- He’s a douche.

One cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs.
This is a vicious circle, Obama has entered into: He is ‘trying’ to save the civilians whom Gaddafi and his soldiers are targeting and who himself along with his soldiers are the target of rebels and which rebels in turn are both being targeted by the UN and USA but still in the chaos they do not want to take out Gaddafi nor the rebels and civilians but is meant to be a ‘limited’ warning for Obama…. Oops! Sorry Calypso Louie… for Gaddafi to step down.. Er, then again, how does a dictator step down after killing many civilians? Waoow! This is a huge maelstrom!
- Zaza69
Not to mention that the rebels are now diluted into two groups; home-bread and Al-Quaeda!

Love Bolton. - Anonymous
“His obsession seems to be ‘how quickly can we get out?’ ‘how can I limit the US involvement in all of this?”
Good. Wars cost money, people.

#1. Obama is bad at being a neoconservative.
#2. We have no business intervening in Libya at all.
#3. It’s none of our business and it’s a civil war.
#4. It’s not in our interests if Libyans ever vote. - Anonymous
This whole Libya debacle is a DISTRACTION.

I question the smartness and sophistcation part of that comment.
Obama is a community organizer.
He should still be in a Chicago neighborhood.
And OFF the world stage.
Let’s send him home.

John Bolton should have included Obama and his cult followers are too smart, too sophisticated, and nuanced, to believe in victory.
Why did Obama release the Lockerbie bomber? Wouldn’t it have made more sense to keep this killer in prison if he had plans to remove Gadhafi? The families of the victims of Pan Am 103 were victimized twice by this.

this Pres has a plan.you must read between the lines. it will all fall on Israel. he’s just getting his ducks in a row. See the UN’s “Responsibility to Protect” and how they are all working undercover to use this policy against Israel. God bless Israel.
This is a great clip by my favorite part comes when Bolton criticizes Obama’s we’re-not-in-it-to-win-because-we-suck approach with Libya:
The President is too smart, too sophisticated, and too nuanced to believe in victory. He believes in something else. Look, he and his people have been told for years that American leadership irritates the world and therefore he’s trying to hide the reality of this operation which is that we’ve led it from the beginning and we have delivered most of the military muscle. The result of his unwillingness to assert American leadership is exactly the disarray you now see in NATO and even among the potential Arab partners for the coalition.
I think this is proof positive that the whole line of analysis that says American leadership somehow irritates the world just needs to be discarded, and sooner rather than later.
So if we want to protect the people but refuse to take out Qaddafi, how will we do that exactly?
Enjoy!
