Duncan Hunter Backs Obama on Libya
I thought I disagreed with Obama, but if this guy says he's right I think I had better take another look.
As President Obama faces criticism from both Republicans and Democrats over his Libya policy, he is also finding support in surprising corners.
One of the strongest congressional backers of the presidents handling of Libya is Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.), a conservative Republican in his second term.
In a phone interview, Hunter, a Marine captain who served combat tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan, offered unswerving praise for Obamas decision to intervene and suggested critics of the policy were politicizing the issue.
I agree with the president. I agree with what hes done so far on his use of force. I agree on his timing. I agree on the fact that he went in with a coalition, Hunter said.
