Libya costs, mission unclear: Allies ‘in complete disarray’
Washington Times ^

Posted on 03/23/2011 6:12:55 AM PDT by quesney

The allies in the U.S.-led military operation in Libya debated a new command structure Tuesday, with differences over the ultimate aims and scope of the campaign impeding an agreement, as forces loyal to dictator Moammar Gadhafi shelled the coastal city of Misurata.

“This is not finalized, so I don’t want to suggest that it is,” said Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser for strategic communications. “This is still being worked in Brussels.”

That’s called “Strategic Communications” in Washington. Much like Social (In)Security. The Department of (Borderless) Homeland (In) Security. Federal (lack of a) budget. Etc.

Americans wanted an EEO President; this is what happens when you get one.

Unqualified, undignified, unprepared and arrogant enough to think that his race alone, is justification enough for anything he wants to do.

Encourage our enemies, and discourage our allies - nice going Zero.

If the world leaders cannot reach an agreement, “we will be left holding the baby,” Mr. Ludes said.

This whole thing has stunk of a setup from the beginning, but then, Obama's generation never did read Uncle Remus, so there's no way he'd recognize this Lybian adventure as a tar baby.

On Obama, Libya and Gender

By Elana Maryles Sztokman
President Obama’s decision to bomb Libya apparently has something to do with gender.

The New York Times reports that Obama was waffling on whether to attack, while Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was in favor, but having trouble convincing the president. It was only when she recruited two other women to form a coalition that Obama made the decision to act. “The change became possible,” the Times writes, “only after Mrs. Clinton joined Samantha Power, a senior aide at the National Security Council, and Susan Rice, Mr. Obama’s ambassador to the United Nations, who had been pressing the case for military action….Now, the three women were pushing for American intervention to stop a looming humanitarian catastrophe in Libya.”

This coalition of women is apparently up against a coalition of men. Under a headline “Obama agenda: The women vs. the men, Andrea Mitchell reported that “In the end, it became the women foreign policy advisers against the men. …
