Credit goes to the Administration for using whatever approach is appropriate to the situation.

Absolutely. I'd also point out that (perhaps) diplomacy worked with Libya because Ghadaffi was well-aware that the US could reach its goals -- using other methods if necessary.

Successful use of force often results in later success without the use of force. Are the Democrats still learning this?

The part of the nine dwarves mantra about unilaterism I love most is it rarely applies, and everyone knows it. England France Germany and others were involved in Libya's surrender of WMD's. It probably had to do with an aggressive non proliferation stance we enforce under Bush. And we know that Libya, North Korea and Iran were working together on WMDs.

Bush is creaming them in every way, and his foreign policy is working. What hurts Kerry and those other guys is everyone know it!

How would you feel if you were in North Korea or Iran right now, knowing Ghadaffi is talking?

I don't think so.

Thinking and logic are not strong points for the democrats.

Their strong point are finger-pointing and criticism; and never offering a solution to anything other than raising taxes and spending taxpayer money.
