Obama is scheduled to speak at the National Defense University at Ft. McNair in Washington, D.C. about Libya at 7:30 p.m. EDT.

[Clock King]

Still blaming Bush for Iraq...

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

There he goes, throwing President Bush under the Bus!

[KevinDavis]

What happened to just a no fly zone? By the way so far this operation has cost $600 Million.

[cruise_missile]

Didn't he just give China a State dinner. The country with the most human rights violations in the world.

[relee]

new school ... to be blunt, we went down that road in Iraq

[Carl Vehse]

He’s not “wagging the dog”; Traitorbama is screwing the pooch.

[HollyB]

Regime change did not take 8 years in Iraq

[hsalaw]

No, now he’s talking in circles. He’s now on “Iraq = bad” because of the cost and time, and “can’t afford to repeat this in Libya.” So we’ll just “support the dreams and aspirations of the Libyan people.” I guess Iraqis didn’t have aspirations and dreams.

[TomGuy]

Sounds like he is talking in circles.

Didn’t someone read this speech beforehand?

[Right_in_Virginia]

He’s completely and totally vindicating President George W. Bush with every single word tonight!

I wonder if he knows this. ;-)

[Girlene]

No question Libya and the world would be better off w/o Ghadaffi ..... will pursue this with non-military means.

Regime change not in the cards with the military. Would splinter coalition, increased costs, would force troops on the ground.....to be blunt....we went down that road with Iraq....

Regime change there(Iraq) took 8 years....we can’t afford that with Libya.

We have intervened to prevent a massacre.

[mwl8787]

Lying SOB on Iraq when he has blood on his own hands for undermining our troops

Divisive, hateful, and unpresidential

[tiredoflaundry]

it should be clear..... jeez

[kabar]

Now we are committing a massacre against Ghadaffi’s supporters.

[tsowellfan]

If he thinks we can avoid sending in troops to Libya (with our without Gadaffi)and avoid violence against the Libyans at the same time... he’s dreaming.

[onyx]

LOL. Good one!

The teleprompter in repeat mode? This is BORING.

[MestaMachine]

I CAN’T HEAR HIM ANYMORE. CAN’T GET PAST STARING AT THE PINK LIP GLOSS. PINK. PINK. Geez!!!

[Robwin]

How does he know what the Libyan people want? Would they be fighting one another if there was a overwhelming consensus?

[marstegreg]

Why Libya, Obama??

It really DOES sound like he’s talking about Saddam. I could easily swap them out and it would make more sense.
