Where’s Rice, Clinton, and Powers? Excellent question. I think the answer is they are lying low while The Won tries to figure out how to get himself out of the corner he’s painted himself into with his feckless foreign “policy”. By portraying the civil war in Libya as a tremendous humanitarian disaster requiring a response by the US, Obama is now faced with the conundrum of what to say and do in response to the other, even more violent uprisings in other Middle East muslim countries. With his finger in the air still testing the wind, our Supreme Leader has instead chosen to increase his enormous carbon footprint by going off on another election campaign trip. On the other hand, maybe he now realizes that he should have taken his own and his political supporters’ pre-2008 election advice and not gotten us involved in Libya in the first place. I can go along with that, especially since it is clear that the logic used by NATO and the EU to justify intervention in Libya will eventually be turned on its head and used against Israel by its sworn enemies. That will present the President with an opportunity for creating an even worse foreign policy blunder than the one he’s already committed.
