Dear Mr. President...

Awesome job killing Bin Laden. Now, about Libya: RECOGNIZE THE REBELS ALREADY!

Jesus Monkey Balls this administration is pissing me off. Whether you agree or disagree with the 'kinetic military action' (the White House seriously called it that) we've got going in NATO, I think we can all get behind the idea that we need to actually get a coherent strategy together. It's frustrating as hell, because in the space of a week, the Obama Administration flung it's not inconsiderable weight behind the British and the French to get a UN Resolution AND managed to get Russia and China to hold their vetos to get this 'kinetic military action' off the ground. We bombed for a week and then President Obama seemed to say 'all right, biatches, I'm out.'

And now our policy is a mess as a result. They don't want ground troops and neither do we- so give them recognition. Give them aid, give them weapons. We may not have a direct strategic interest in Libya, but a world without Qadaffi is a world we want to be in. Let's get this thing done already.
