John Bolton: Only acceptable outcome is Qaddafi’s removal from power

**UPDATED**

Bolton chimes in with his thoughts on our military action with Libya:

The administration’s stated objectives I think are inconsistent – that we’ve got a limited military objective of protecting Libyan civilians but that our long term political objective remains Qaddafi being gone. There’s a disjunction between those two that the administration hasn’t filled it yet.

I think the only acceptable outcome here is the removal of Qaddafi from power. That’s one reason this no fly zone should have been put in place a month ago. Had we intervened decisively, sharply, earlier, this whole thing might be over now. I think it’s much more complex, much riskier and Qaddafi has even more incentives to stay now because of events that have transpired.

There’s much more:
