Happy Thursday.

Feck. "Protestors" have stormed our embassy in Yemen and burned our flag. There are additional protests-cum-riots in Afghanistan, Iran, Egypt, and Tunisia. I'm sure the D.C. press will be along any minute to explain how this is Romney's fault.

I had more to say at the Rumble yesterday on Obama's Libya policy. A taste:

The truth of the matter is that Obama tried his hand at humanitarian intervention on the cheap. He didn't do it because he thought it was right and hard. He did it because he thought it was right and easy. And you don't get top credit for doing what is easy. Obama thought he could be seen as a humanitarian savior by arming revolutionaries, providing them air and tactical support, and then letting them do the killing part. Perhaps he was trying to live up to that Nobel Peace Prize. Whatever the case, the President had no idea what the Libyan fighters would do after the killing part and no infrastructure in place to channel the violence that he had enabled back into some form of civil society.

Obama wanted to run on foreign policy? Alright, champ, let's talk about foreign policy.
