Once again Obama's adminitration can claim another huge victory with the way he handled Lybia's revolt, his administration including ms. clinton have been very effective regarding the handling of the various situations in the middle east, add this to the fact that Obama was the one finally capturing bin laden, we can say that he has been execellent regarding national security, compare that with gw bush invading iraq with fake intelligence, and the failure in afganistan.....

Obama didn't capture anyone. Some very brave and awesome Navy Seals captured Osama. Please don't EVER give him credit for that. He simply does not deserve it.

Obama is trying very hard to change the direction of an almost universal failure of American foreign policy for the last 50 years. The opponents to Obama talk about his APPOLOGY tours. They are idiots. He is just trying to rebuild some of the bridges the USA has burned very badly with it's nonsencical policies. His stratagy as far as Lybia goes was brilliant. Make the first move, drag in NATO, back off, give overall command of the mission to a Canadian and force the end of a 50 year brutal regime without doing much at all. Just outstanding in it's method and execution.

Now if only his department of state is able to help create a stable democratic and free Lybia who is a good friend to the USA his administration will be the most successful in foreign relations since Theodore Roosevelt.

I'd recommend Obama supporters actually wait until something happens in Libya before taking credit for their revolution. More convincing if the thing you're taking credit for actually happens first.

Better yet, concentrate on this side of the planet and create some jobs... then take credit for that. We'd all be better off.

let's face it, both Obama and his supporters will do anything to take the attention away from the economy right now.

He can put away an ice cream cone well. That's about it.

Yeah? Let's see if Libya doesn't turn into Iran, first. Ditto Egypt. And Qadaffi was an immediate threat to us how these days? By the way, this thread is in the wrong forum.

Holy Crap. You don't get out much do you?

1) Obama didn't make a move without the permission of the Arab League. Then he allowed strikes on targets that caused the Arabs to recant their support. How' is that "brilliant?" That's called mismanagement of a war of opportunity.

2) Obama cowardly went to Brazil while he left his Secretary of State to break the news of the new war he had engaged in. How does that qualify as Commander In Chief? That sounds like Panty-Waisted Pipsqueak to me. All because he knew politically that would make him a war-monger.

3) Obama stands idly by while Syria does the same exact thing that Libya is doing to its citizens. But yet not a peep, nor a NATO prod, nor a bomb. Why is that?

4) Barack Obama has not only upheld Bush's Terror Apparatus, he has fortified it with increasing vengeance. And you call this rebuilding bridges?

Totally insane this stuff you spew.

Shades of Jimmy Carter!

Obama did have two bombs go off in the United States under his watch.

The fruit of the loom bomber and the times square bomber.

The bombs did go off.

Fortunately the bombs fizzled, but they did go off.

As Obama believes in bad luck, Bin Laden was good luck and duly attributed to the predsident on watch.

Libya has yet to evolve. To celebrate Kadaffi being gone is a short term but theoretical victory that may have an acceptable or disasterous conclusion.

To hail obama as a 'war hero' is a bit too hopeful but quite in line for a nobel peace prize. for accomplishments not yet completed or imagined.
