Just a Bad, Bad Idea | Talking Points Memo

by Josh Marshall


"So let's review: No clear national or even humanitarian interest for military intervention. Intervening well past the point where our intervention can have a decisive effect. And finally, intervening under circumstances in which the reviled autocrat seems to hold the strategic initiative against us. This all strikes me as a very bad footing to go in on."
Just a Bad, Bad Idea | Talking Points Memo


Marshall's view seems right to me.  How does this end?  With Qaddafi as our new Saddam Hussein, our new "why doesn't Obama finish the job?" tag line for Fox News?  Are we really ready for three wars in the Muslim world?
