Really dude? Come on.
Look, as everyone on here knows, I'm no fan of Obama (seems like a cool guy, but I don't care for his politics at all), but I think we're absolutely doing the right thing here, and I think for the most part we're approaching it the right way.
I actually liked his speech tonight better than any I've heard him give since being elected.
We had to help with some kind of intervention in Lybia, we took the lead to get the no-fly established, now we're backing off and handing it over to NATO on Wednesday and will continue to support, but not lead the op, and no ground troops will be involved. A measured, sound decision IMO.
My only issue is we have no stated end-game, but then again this whole thing is only 4 weeks old, so stay tuned.
