Rove on Obama's Bungled Libyan Speech

[The Rabbi]

Wars, even good ones, require worthy explanation and justification. Both were missing in President Obama's address to the nation on Monday night.

While the president's speech on Libya was adequate at times, what stood out were statements that were contradictory, confusing and outright untrue.

Mr. Obama said "an important strategic interest" was at risk in Libya. I believe that's so. But members of Mr. Obama's national security team send the opposite message.

U.S. President Barack Obama speaks about the conflict in Libya.

The president insisted that America "took a series of swift steps in a matter of days." In fact, the administration dithered for over two weeks. Mr. Obama claimed, "At my direction, America led an effort" to create "a no-fly zone . . . to protect the Libyan people." In truth, the direction and leadership came from the French, the British, and even the Arab League. Thank goodness French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister David Cameron had the brass to push for bombing. Otherwise Mr. Obama still might be contemplating action, not taking it.

Karl Rove's advise on war is like Charlie Sheen's advise on personal growth.
