Thirty-two people were killed and dozens wounded in what the Washington Post describes as &#8220;an especially bloody weekend.&#8221; Meanwhile, three members of the Senate Armed Services Committee are calling on the regime, or NATO &#8211;or somebody &#8212; to do more than they\u2019re doing to help drive Khadafy from power.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if they\u2019re waiting on Obama to act,I hope they\u2019re prepared for a long wait. Remember how we got into Libya? After the violence had erupted,Obama pondered for weeksbefore sending in our military to attack by air under the auspices of NATO &#8211;without congressional approval. Nine days later he addressed the country. The speech is best remembered for a few lines that sounded like George W. Bush,whom he took an ungracious political swipe at. But there was no exit strategy, no victory strategy,and no real explanation of what vital national interest was calling for American action.<\/p>\n<p>And then confusion reignedover who was in charge. While Khadafywas bombing the heck out of the rebels, Obama tried handing off the mission to NATO,but they handed it back,until finally they decided to pretend that they were really in charge. Now it\u2019salmost a month after his big Libyan speech, andObama has moved on to other things; mainly, fundraising.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019lltell you what:We\u2019ve never had a commander-in-chief like this guy.
