Feb and I were just talking about this last night. Feb's theory is that Obama is doing consultations with other countries before we dispatch a Brigade to take Kadafi out.
While I don't know if we will dispatch a military assist, I do think he is in consultations trying to unite some kind of world response. He has imposed sanctions (which I think needs to be done to legally, but actually do anything to stop the violence), and closed our Embassy. Is it enough? No.
I think Libya poses a much risker situation than Egypt did. Kadafi is desperate and crazy. I think Obama is missing an opportunity to step out on the international stage and provide visible leadership, but it's not happening. This is his "policy wonk" persona. The belief that writing a really strong position paper and talking to others is somehow just as effective as taking a public visible stand. It's a disappointment.
