The Fog of Obama's War


With the conflict in Libya intensifying, it's now on the UN's and NATO's shoulders whether or not to get involved.
President Obama labeled the war in Libya a humanitarian crisis, and made plans to get the US Military involved in the conflict in the rebels' favor. 

This political cartoon details how one artist seems to view Obama's decisions in regards to intervention in Libya.
As shown in the picture, the board displaying Obama's plans is mostly obscured in a fog, showing that the artist feels that Obama's plans for the country and its revolution are pretty vague or hard to decipher.

In another interpretation, it could be that Obama is purposely not revealing his plans for Libya to others, or that he himself does not entirely know what the best course of action would be in regards to intervention.

Regardless of Obama's decision, I feel that he should act for the sake of the Libyan people, and their fight for freedom against their dictator.
