Ed Morrissey notes that there’s been some confusion in what it is our President is doing in Libya in the military action he’s launched with the UN’s permission…but not Congress’.
Barack Obama has launched an American military operation in Libya, but has had trouble deciding on exactly why. Several weeks ago, Obama called for Moammar Gaddafi’s ouster. When he launched military operations against Gaddafi’s regime, however, Obama insisted that he would only act within the UN mandate of protecting civilians. Yesterday, Obama tried to claim both missions simultaneously by saying that our military wouldn’t try to push Gaddafi out, but that we’d still push him out some other way.
Keep in mind that the UN mandate for operations in Libya that Obama signed on for specifically prohibits the removal of Gaddafi via military means. But that hasn’t stopped the President from reiterating again today his desire for regime change in Libya. Specifically “installing a democratic system” of government.

He's a globalist.
Obama is still a leftist, and has not converted to conservatism.
The defintion of neocon being someone who was on the left and newly becomes conservative.
The above definition is incorrect. There were intellectuals in the 60's that infiltraited 'conservatism'--in synch with the countercultures dismantling of our system.
