Contrary to the Presidents Speech, Removal of Qaddafi Is the Military Objective
Robert Naiman, Truthout: "The most important content of presidential speeches is often what they don't say. Here are some things that President Obama didn't say about Libya in his speech last night. The president did not answer his critics who asked why he took America into war without authorization by Congress. This question was made sharper on Sunday when Jake Tapper of ABC asked Defense Secretary Gates, 'Do you think Libya posed an actual or imminent threat to the United States?'

Last night, nine days after we began bombing Libya, President Obama went on television to explain what were up to and what the plan is. Its always nice to be kept in the loop. But the real outrage here isnt that Obama ? for once ? has been reluctant to make a speech. It's that our Nobel Peace Prize-winning, former constitutional law professor president has launched yet another war in the Middle East without any constitutional authority for doing so...

'What if US military force were proportionately more like that of other nations? ... Our military would still be strong enough not only to defend the United States from attack, but also to deter attacks in the first place. But such a military would not be so world-transcendent as to make us think that brute force, exerted by America alone with token support of other nations, is the solution to every international problem ? including the contemporary obligation to protect civilian populations from mass attacks...

The 'Obama Doctrine,' Libya and Iran
The Nation Blog
by Robert Dreyfuss
03/29/11
Does Libya set a precedent? If a revolt breaks out again in Iran, and the regime cracks down with brutal force, will the United States support a Libya-style response? The New York Times, in its coverage of Libya, is already talking about imposing a no-fly zone against Syria. Is there an 'Obama Doctrine' emerging? It looks like it. And, unfortunately, it seems focused on the idea of humanitarian interventionism, with some add-ons and codicils, that make it broader than that...
