An example of the American flip-flop from last week to this on Pres O and Libya

With the exception of Bill Kristol, the world's war monger, it seems too many people went from saying the President should have been attacking Libya a week or two ago when they thought he was too hesitant, to now, when so many people are saying we shouldn't have attacked.


From Newt Gingrich on "Faux" News.  First his flip:


Greta Van Susteren: What would you do about Libya?

GINGRICH: Exercise a no-fly zone this evening, communicate to the Libyan military that Gadhafi was gone and that the sooner they switch sides, the more likely they were to survive ... This is a moment to get rid of him. Do it. Get it over with.

And then the flop:

GINGRICH: I think that two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is a lot ... I would not have intervened. I think there were a lot of other ways to affect Qaddafi. I think there are a lot of allies in the region we could have worked with. I would not have used American and European forces.

Newt "Having it both ways" Gingrich.

Thanks, Newt.  We'll get back to you.

As The Daily Kos said:  "...the Republican position on all issues for the next 20 or so months: if Obama is for it, they're against it. If Obama is against it, they're for it. Always."

Really.  It gets so tiresome.

Could they not come up with their own ideas?  Could they not do things specifically and singularly because it's for the good of the country?

It would be nice.
