#2 The Obama Doctrine:

We are willing to take on ill defined operations of indeterminate length in support of rebel leaders that we know almost nothing about without congressional approval or even consultation if there is air based strafing of civilians and the UN and the Arab League ask us to do so. On the other hand, operations against committed enemies of the US who support active terrorist organizations are completely safe as long as they are killing people using ground based weapons or as long as the UN and the Arab League don't ask us to intervene.

Well OK then.

#3 Speaking in an interview which was taped on Saturday, Clinton said the United Stated deplored the violence in Syria but the circumstances were different in Libya, where Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi had used his air force as well as heavy armor against civilians.

Schieffer didn't ask her if oil has anything to do with it? Seems like an obvious question to me.

#4 I wonder did she not make the same statement about Libya a matter of days or a few weeks before the cruise missiles came over the horizon?
