How the GOP is trying to spin this into a bad thing is reprehensible.
This is nothing but great news, and in less than a year. GREAT news, in a situation obviously still developing.
"...The Libyan street was euphoric, Gadhafi was in hiding and the price of oil — a contributor to dangerous economic lethargy — was dipping.
'The Libyan intervention demonstrates what the international community can achieve when we stand together as one,' Obama said at his vacation retreat in Martha's Vineyard, Mass.
Obama was careful to emphasize that uncertainty remained and that Gadhafi's regime could still pose a threat....
'The American people will see this as a success because we didn't need to send troops in, didn't lose American lives and it involved others in the world who also had big interests in Libya's stability taking a bigger role,' Gibbs said.
But the administration remains aware that today's successes could turn sour. Obama called on the rebel leadership to work toward a transition that 'is peaceful, inclusive and just.'
'True justice will not come from reprisals and violence,' Obama said. 'It will come from reconciliation and a Libya that allows its citizens to determine their own destiny.'
