WH: On Second Thought, Maybe Gaddafi Should Be Removed From Power

Sigh.  That's really all I can do when I see the back-tracking of this Administration so constantly and so patently.  On March 19th, the White House stated that the goal of the missions in Libya were not to removed Maummar Gaddafi from power, insisting that the objective was strictly to protect civilians.

Well, three whole days later, they've changed their minds, similar to how President Obama changed his mind on what a President can and cannot do.

Obama: Waffler-in-Chief

The Hill reports:

The White House suggested Tuesday the mission in Libya is one of regime change, despite emphatic statements from President Obama and military brass that the goal is not to remove Moammar Gadhafi from power.

According to a White House readout of a Monday night call between Obama and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the two leaders "underscored their shared commitment to the goal of helping provide the Libyan people an opportunity to transform their country, by installing a democratic system that respects the people’s will."

The term "installing" suggests the goal of regime change.

In an e-mail, White House press secretary Jay Carney said there is no change in the U.S. military mission, which he wrote was clearly focused on protecting civilians. He also noted Obama's remark Monday that Gadhafi is no longer fit to lead.

Sigh.
