YOU SUPPLY THE WAR, THEY'LL SUPPLY THE PROSE POEMS.
Well, more bombs in the Mideast. I didn't like the Libya intervention and I don't like this. But I generally disapprove these half-assed sand-diving expeditions; what's the conservatives' problem? From my first quick scan of the commentariat, they appear to think Obama shouldn't be trusted because his bloodthirst is insufficiently ostentatious, and because like that other pussy George Bush he refuses to denounce Islam the way that, after Pearl Harbor, FDR denounced Shinto and Confucianism. We're gonna have a loooong Rightbloggers column on Sunday.
My favorite so far is -- surprise! -- Jonah Goldberg. I reproduce his post in its entirety:
Good luck, Mr. President
I thought that this was a fine speech, grading against the curve of my expectations. But my expectations were low. The problem for me, and I suspect for others, is that it’s very difficult to see him as anything other than a political creature. It’s obviously the case that he is doing this not because the facts on the ground convinced him he had to do what was necessary to protect America but because the polls and the political climate convinced him he had to plug a hole in the hull of his presidency. I really have no problem with politicians being led by the people, when the people are right. And I think they are here. But I have serious doubts that Obama has any desire to stick it out beyond the moment the American people stop paying attention. I hope I’m wrong.
It's perfect in its way, from the title and lede that are shown almost immediately to be disingenuous, to the piss-trickle ending. I'm beginning to think these single-long-paragraph posts of his are dictated to an intern while Goldberg tries to time the microwave so his Cheetos get hot without melting the bag.
