The inevitable death of Libyan dictator Gaddafi is good, if very belated, news. This was supposed to happen in “days, not weeks,” and certainly before seven months.
Now that the dirty work is done, Americans can expect Barack Obama to be front and center in order to take bows and lead in his own adulation. Leading from behind is terrific while there is still risk and uncertainty; hogging the credit when the job is done is more in keeping with Obama’s narcissistic whimsy.
And while the mainstream media will surely celebrate Gaddafi’s death as confirmation of Obama’s grand strategy, responsible journalists will ask, “What about Syria?”
In the grand scheme of things, Gaddafi was but a minor minnow compared to Islamofascist sharks that terrorize the Syrian people.
Only an out-of-touch community organizer would find comfort in Gaddafi’s demise while innocent people continue to be slaughtered by the Assad regime
