Stuff going on in Libya

[Wintereis]

So were they saying the President's orders were unwarranted or just commenting on further intervention.

I had assumed the latter, but had neglected to make that clear.

The Pentagon was stating that enforcing a no-fly zone in Libya would not be in American interest from the outset. The State Department, under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice; and the White House were pushing for intervention in the matter. Furthermore, Congressional Republicans were pushing for intervention . . . until President Obama included the United States in the intervention. Then, Congressional Republicans were upset that the President did not get their permission for the intervention. Got to love American Politics. It's like a never ending root-canal and colonoscopy all rolled into one.
