This stinks of politics. In war the concept of "we did our part" rings empty with me. When will we learn - do what needs to be done for a swift and decisive victory.

I, for one, certainly appreciate this approach rather than rushing in like a crazed cowboy with six guns blazing away.

For the record Bush did not rush into Iraq and he got Congressional approval.

You appear to mock my comment, yet you take the position that Obama's has acted in a decisive and clear manner with a strategy to accomplish his goals. If Obama has acted in a decisive and clear manner with clearly defined goals - there would not be so many questions. It is possible that Obama his employing a strategy of deception against the enemy, but I don't see why that is needed given the inferior position Kadafi is in on the world stage. Kadafi is clearly isolated and if non-military actions could remove a dictator from power, this seems to be a perfect example of where it could work. I get using politics in this manner, but when using the military politics be damned - do the job, image be damn - do the job. Do the job or stay home.
