TOM MAGUIRE: “One senses a certain chill in the feet of the Old Gray Lady as they cover their President’s latest foreign adventure and report on Obama’s delusional ‘days, not weeks’ timeline for US military involvement.”

UPDATE: Walter Russell Mead: Obama’s War. “Military assisted regime change as a solution to humanitarian abuses perpetrated by a government with a history of terrorism linked to a firm belief that more democracy in the Arab world will lead to a more stable region: this is much more Paul Wolfowitz than Colin Powell. . . . I hope the Iranians are paying close attention, by the way. This President is much more likely to pull the trigger than they may think.”
