Patriotism

I am copying Instapundit’s entire post here because it does such a great job on this news story about Hillary asking “Who’s side are you on?” of Congress.

WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON? “This is really just the cherry on top of the sundae that is our Libya mission, isn’t it? First, the guy who became famous for opposing ‘dumb wars’ launches a new mission in Libya. Then he fights tooth and nail to avoid getting congressional approval, going so far as to ignore his own lawyers as to whether operations there are legal. Then his own secretary of state — who spent years trying to make amends to the anti-war crowd for voting to invade Iraq — turns around and kinda sorta questions the loyalty of administration critics. What’s next, MoveOn.org running ads needling Boehner for being a hippie?”

Libya is a “dumb war” — because it’s halfhearted, half-assed, and run by committee, and the President can’t even articulate the national interest involved. Obama the candidate said he was smarter than that. Obama the President is proving the candidate wrong.
