Mubarak was a sick, old man on the way out and a pussycat as tyrants go, and Obama’s seeming indecision as the Egyptian crisis wore on wasn’t out of confusion or vacillation. It stemmed from intelligence (sic) reports he was receiving that showed the situation was in flux. However, once it became clear which way the wind was blowing and Mubarak would fall, Obama got behind the wave and rode it to shore. What a guy! Heck, he’s practically a neocon.
Now comes the hard part. Gaddafi is the genuine article, a bloodthirsty Arab lunatic who sits on a lot of oil. He’s facing a popular uprising inspired by Egypt’s and has already killed scores of his own people, threatening to fight to the end. What’s the leader of the FREE world to do? Apparently nothing.
