Even his Vice-President Biden was opposed to Libya. That explains why he did not hog the cameras when the war started and Obama was in Brazil

This is simple. Obama needed a “Wag The Dog” moment to distract from the lack of jobs, crumbling economy and soon to be hyperinflation. He also wants a condition to say that the GOP doesn't care about the troops in harms way if the GOP decides to shut the Government down.
We have no vested interest in Libya and they were not even a threat to us, unlike in Iraq where Saddam shot at our jets, held our pilot hostage and had plans to assassinate a sitting President.

Implicit in Gaddafi's termination of his weapons program, was the understanding that the US would not attack him as long as he refrained from getting WMDs and refrained from attacking the West.

BamBam violated that understanding. Now dictators know there is no incentive to playing nice.
