The first commenter is correct. It is impossible to have an intelligent discussion about this due to political correctness and multi-culturalism.

What Next After Libya
Victor Davis Hanson asks for a little foresight and planning from this administration of which, I suspect, they are utterly incapable, and in which they are not even disposed to engage.
Markets Don’t Ration
…people do. The difference is who makes the decisions.
Radiation Dosages
…explained. A serious offering from XKCD.
But Other Than That…
“Barack Obama has been a failure in almost everything he’s done.”
Some of us are less shocked than others.
Also, appropriate smugness, at least when it comes to dealing with the real rubes. The question is, have they really learned, or will they fall for the con again next year?
[Update a few minutes later]
From community organizer to out-of-control cowboy: “I now call on Candidate Obama to protest President Obama.”
The danger of a president like this (and Hillary) was always that they’d feel compelled to demonstrate their national defense bona fides with some kind of ill-thought-out overseas action. But the up side is that it may at least get the Iranians to pay attention.
Battle: Los Angeles
Bill Whittle says go see it.

It’s time for Newsweek to be renamed Lastweek.
My Goals For Our Libyan Adventure
They’re pretty limited, really.
I don’t really care who wins, as long as Colonel Whathisname loses. I think that attempting to influence the outcome of events beyond that are far too problematic, with poor prospects for success, and large prospects for quagmire.
But we need to remove this carbuncle from the backside of humanity once and for all, after more than four decades of his insanity and warmaking, particularly now that the president foolishly told him that his time was up, and that his behavior was “unacceptable.” To leave him in power after that pusillanimous action, with no plan to actually make it happen, would weaken us tremendously, in both the Arab world and the globe at large.
He needs to be reminded that actions have consequences — something that he seemed to have forgotten in the transition from Bush to Obama — and if he doesn’t live long enough to learn the lesson, then his successor(s) needs to know it. If we are to rid the world of tyranny, we have to get the proper incentives in place, and one of those lessons should be, if you want to enjoy a comfortable retirement, you don’t slaughter your own people when your rule is challenged.
[Update later morning]
Stephen Green: We seem to have gotten into this war without a strategy. Do we even have an objective?
Twenty Days Of Leftist Thuggery
…in Wisconsin. And crickets chirp from the same media that was insisting that we all tone it down after Gabbie Giffords was shot. But that was different. She was a Democrat.
The Launch Lab
There’s a nice long piece at Air & Space about Mojave. I’m still reading it, so I may have comments later.
