| Description | “Domestic policy can only defeat us,” John F. Kennedy used to say. “Foreign policy can kill us.”
Times change. Barack Obama is having a lot more success at foreign policy than domestic policy, but few seem willing to give him credit for this.
Obama just won a war. Whether by leading from behind, in front or sideways, the victory by the Libyan rebels in toppling Muammar Qadhafi would have been impossible without U.S. money, more than 5,000 U.S. missions flown, 1,200 airstrikes, 100 Predator strikes, and even B-2 Stealth bomber attacks launched from Missouri. We also had CIA agents on the ground, but we’ll probably never know what they did. America did not act alone — we acted with NATO — but a win is a win, and Obama’s victory did not cost this country a single U.S. life. |
