The Washington Post has an editorial today fretting that the Obama administration has not killed enough Libyans. The Post warns that U.S. killing of more Libyans is the best way to assure a bright future for Libya. OK, that’s not verbatim – but this is: “The dangers of the military stalemate for the United States […]

Speech on Middle East “Fell Short, Lacked Substance”
No, this is not a judgment on Obama’s gas-bagging on Monday night. Instead, that is the State Department’s verdict on a speech today by Syria’s “President” Bashar al-Assad.
