#1 Fiddlesticks. You all treating this as if Team Obama were grownups owing anything even remotely resembling sense of ethics. Somebody on Team Obama noticed that US Presidents bombing furriners get a rise in their approval ratings. So they bombed Libya. When the rise failed to materialize, they drooped the bombings.

That would be the political wing of the administration - the Axelrod-Plouffe Axis.

However, methinks the "Battle Hens" saw an opportunity and ~~badgered~~ appealed to the community organizer instincts of the President. It helped that both the UN leadership and a major financial backer were on the same team as the Hens.

Notice that the only voice that hasn't spoken is Biden's. For the guy who the Obama campaign and administration touted as its foreign policy heavyweight, he's nowhere to be found.

#5 I recall that Joe Biden wanted to impeach Bush over Iraq. Strangely, Biden is uncharacteristically silent. I guess he tripped over his lip back then and hoped no one would notice now.
