America is a super duper power
The fact that it took ten days and at least a thousand dead on the streets of Libyaâ??s cities before President Obama finally mustered the courage to call for Muammar â??mad dogâ? Gaddafi to step down is highly embarrassing for the worldâ??s only superpower, and emblematic of a deer-in-the-headlights approach to world leadership. Washington seems incapable of decisive decision-making on foreign policy at the moment, a far cry from the days when it swept entire regimes from power, and defeated Americaâ??s enemies with deep-seated conviction and an unshakeable drive for victory. - Nile Gardiner
Look, if you're going to criticize the Obama administration for not marching into Tripoli and carrying out Colonel Gaddafi's head on a pike, fine. But does anyone find that last sentence remotely in accord with reality?
