The Texas governor is first out of the gate with a statement commenting on Muammar Qadhafi's imminent demise, but not taking a position on the overall wisdom in the mission in Libya (and using a spelling of Qadhafi that I have not seen before):

"The crumbling of Muammar Ghadafi’s reign, a violent, repressive dictatorship with a history of terrorism, is cause for cautious celebration.

"The lasting impact of events in Libya will depend on ensuring rebel factions form a unified, civil government that guarantees personal freedoms, and builds a new relationship with the West where we are allies instead of adversaries."

Meanwhile Michelle Bachmann accuses the Libyan rebels of being members of Hezbollah and Mitt Romney has called on the rebels to extradite the guy behind the Pan Am 103 bombing.

People commenting on this now are going to look as foolish as a sportscaster who would declare a football game won at halftime.

there's an awful lot of rueing the downfal of Gaddafi over on FR, mostly because they are afraid that Obama could get credit.

It really does seem that those folks would cheer another terrorist attack on the U.S. if it would hurt Obama politically.

For the record, I couldn't care less about Gadaffi/Qadaffi/Khdaffi or however the hell you spell it. As it pertains to US national interests, I couldn't care less about Libya, either.

I've said about every "war" since Viet Nam. We need to MIND OUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS.

That said, you realize that the sentence you wrote:

there's an awful lot of rueing the downfal of Gaddafi over on FR, mostly because they are afraid that Obama could get credit.
could have been written slightly differently a few years ago and still been true:
there's an awful lot of rueing the downfal of Saddam Hussein over on The Daily Kos, mostly because they are afraid that Bush could get credit.
This once great country is going down the shitter - and all people can do cheer one political hack while booing another.

i'm of a bit different view toward Libya - Gaddafi is directly responsible for the deaths of American civilians over the skies of Lockerbie and U.S. service members in a disco in Berlin. I'm glad he's gone.

That being said, I didn't think intervening was a good idea because I didn't see an end-game and thought we would end up in a stalemate. I was wrong.
