The continued stalemate in Libya is not good news for Samantha Power widely seen as one of the architects of the Libyan intervention. Power, who works with the National Security Council, has been touted as the next secretary of State if Obama is re-elected but if Libya continues to be a stalemate it will not help her case...
But the original script went wrong from there with rebels advancing, then retreating like a bad Charlie Chaplin scene before the current stalemate. Stalemate is not good in that corner of the world, and a leaderless state, like Somalia can soon become a breeding ground for all kinds of radicals. That is why Power and the US government are surely pushing had right now for a negotiated solution given the clear lack of hope that the rebels can outfight Ghadaffi any time soon.
Back in America Power’s higher profile after she was singled out for pushing the Libyan intervention policy has brought problems too.
She is consistently hounded, unfairly in my opinion, as Anti-Israeli and the commotion from the right wing press is all about ensuring she never gets to take Hillary Clintons’ job as some have posited she will.
So she needs a Libya breakthrough and soon if she is to remain the point person on the issue and continue her work in combating genocide.
But Ghadaffi did not survive for over 40 years by lying down easily and he may prove willing and able to outlast even the best international efforts to oust him. That would be bad news for Power who had reckoned the tyrant would fall before this.
ping since you seem to grasp the significance and the danger
Why is it bad news? Are liberals ever held accountable for their “theoretical miscalculations”? Don’t they just get another chance as long they promise to “review their procedures” and “work harder next time”?
next Sec of State? she isn’t qualified to be a secretary
Giggity giggity?
She is anti Jew, hell anybody that get in bed with the brotherhood and AQ are anti Jew. In her case she is an ugly Jew hater.
Quadmire!
I should go to Obama’s Facebook and write:
“Mr. President I voted for you in 2012 and I’m worried about this QUAGMIRE in Libya. I hope this QUAGMIRE will not ruin your chances in 2012.”
except I’ll say 2008 not 2012
(maybe I’ll say “I voted for you three times in 2008. Make it sound more realistic.)
We can say that after 0bama starts our 4th war.
Samantha must be an idiot.
She’s married to Cass Sustein...all you need to know.
What “Stalemate?” The rebels are losing.
This is probably wishful thinking on the part of the author. This woman is married to Cass Sunstein and she seems to have OBOZOS ear...
Anybody who did not see a quagmire with the way this war was waged has not been to the war college!
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
..................
Is it possible she is calling the shots and sending the AF back into the Libya fray after they had been taken out??
The Palestinian State is apparently stuck on standby till Obama can divert $5 billion to them to raise hell. (pun intended)
She has Soros for the boss and Cass Sunstein for husband. She must have some genuinely sinister qualities to attract both.
She is no idiot. She is sheer evil.
