Sen. Webb Blasts Libya Policy
 U.S. Sen. James Webb (D. - VA) lambasted President Barack Obamas Libya policy Sunday, saying he has problems with the presidents unilateral decision to get involved in yet another Middle East conflict and the reasons given for U.S. Libyan involvement defy historical precedent. No one wants to see Gadhafi remain in power, but thats a totally different question [from] as to how the United States should be involved, Webb said. We werent under attack, we werent under imminent attack, we werent honoring treaty commitments, we werent rescuing Americans, he said. So on the one hand, theres a very serious issue of precedent here and on the other, we need to be clear that once Gadhafi is gone we wont have Americans in there as a peacekeeping force.
