Our Previous analysis was RIGHT !!
Looks like Secretary Gates and President Obama disagree with the “Responsibility to Protect” principle…... (AFP) — President Barack Obama gave a staunch defense of the US role in the international military mission in Libya Saturday, as he comes under pressure to explain US goals to a public exhausted by wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama’s weekly radio and online address was his most detailed review of the UN-sanctioned action so far, and comes ahead of an address to the nation Monday on the US strategy in Libya.
“Make no mistake, because we acted quickly, a humanitarian catastrophe has been avoided and the lives of countless civilians — innocent men, women and children — have been saved,” Obama said. When innocent people are brutalized by a leader like Kadhafi who was threatening a “bloodbath,” and when nations are prepared to respond together, “it’s in our national interest to act,” he said. “And it’s our responsibility.”

No, I don’t think it’s vital interest for the United States, but we clearly have interest there and it is a pat of the region which is a vital interest for the United States.
When you watch this video from Meet The Press with Hillary Clinton and Secretary Gates it becomes obvious where the split is. Pantsuits now frames the reasoning for intervention and the R2P principle based around the needs of our European allies and their request for us stepping in. It is more evident than ever the State Department was the reason we went to war in Libya. Note the nations, and the order, which Pantsuits outlines. Italy(1st), France(2nd), UK(3rd),….. etc. Again, this goes straight to the immigration concerns, and confirms the reasoning we previously outlined…… SD
