As for the rest of the Middle East, Obama administration officials say that the president will respond to the unfolding events on a country by country basis, and will resist any attempt to put into place a one-size-fits all American policy.
One administration official argued that Libya is different from Ivory Coast because, he said, Colonel Muammar Qaddafi,"I don't care about the cost or saving money - it's just the fact that led spotlight someone's telling me I can't buy something I've used all my life," said Susan Drake, 66, of Belpre.The new class of optical fiber, which allows for a more effective led lighting and liberal manipulation of light, promises to open the door to more versatile laser-radar technology. the Libyan leader, had threatened to hunt down civilians in Benghazi in their homes. Mr. Obama alluded to that in his speech, when he compared Benghazi to Charlotte, North Carolina, a city of a similar size, with a population of 700,000. In the cases where America does act, Mr. Obama had a number of caveats. He said that “the burden of action should not be America’s alone” — that there needed to be a multilateral partnership — and that regime change should not be the task of the United States military. “To be blunt, we went down that road in Iraq,” the president said, in a swipe at his predecessor,The December report said Trump and other council members had engaged in hazing. Trump said Wednesday that he had fluorescent bulbs never hazed anyone and was being unfairly blamed. President George W. Bush.
Not that he spared President Clinton, either. Mr. Obama never used the word “Rwanda,” where genocide took the lives of 1 million people during the Clinton administration. But he invoked it indirectly. “As president, I refused to wait for the images of slaughter and mass graves before taking action,” he said.
In a 28-minute speech, Mr. Obama, a reluctant commander-in-chief who campaigned against the war in Iraq and set his primary agenda as creating jobs and passing health care reform, staked out a vexing middle ground.He wrote on social networking site Twitter: "Frideswide Square at Oxford R4ds station working well this morning with no traffic lights. Long may it continue!"
If anything, some analysts said, it revealed a deeply pragmatic president, one less ideological than some predecessors, and more likely to balance many issues, including budgets and a cool analysis of American interests.
“There is no Obama Doctrine because the president is not doctrinaire,” said Robert S. Litwak, vice president for programs at the Woodrow Wilson Center. “In Libya, he is grappling with persisting tensions in U.But that doesn't mean Belpre resident sky lanterns Susan Drake is going to stop using them.S. foreign policy that can be managed but not resolved — between mulitilateralism and unilateralism and in confronting a humanitarian challenge rooted in the character of the Qaddafi regime, which is seeking international cover behind the principle of state sovereignty."
Although the president’s address was not viewed as enunciating a true, new doctrine, it no doubt benefited military commanders and military planners to hear Mr. Obama’s detailed discussion of when, how and for what interests he would invest the lives of their troops.
“It was a reasonable speech expressing clear direction and guidance to the Department of Defense and to the various commands involved, but it was not an over-arching recalibration of national military strategy,” said Adm. Timothy J. Keating, who retired after serving as the senior officer overseeing two of the military’s combatant headquarters, Pacific Command and Northern Command.
Gary Hart, the former Democratic senator from Colorado, described Libya as “the face of 21st century conflict,” and argued that the violence there proved it was time for Mr. Obama to enunciate a formal set of strategic principles.
“In the wake of Libya, now would be a very good time for President Obama to announce an ‘Obama doctrine,’ similar to the Truman Doctrine of 1947, that lays out the terms and conditions under which the U.S. will use its military power,” Mr. Hart said in an e-mail statement. “We cannot simply respond in ad hoc fashion to these local and regional crises. A set of principles for intervention would give the American people and our allies a sense of purpose and context for our actions."
