Sarah Palin took to her Facebook page on Tuesday to criticize — guess who? — President Obama for failing to adequately explain his strategy for bringing an end to the fighting in Libya.
Palin, the 2008 GOP Vice Presidential nominee, is considered by most a “maybe” to run for President next year. Since losing to Obama, the former Alaska Governor has used her strong social media presence to launch verbal assaults on the President’s policies, both domestic and foreign. Today, she said the ongoing NATO-led mission in Libya is “symptomatic of the puzzling way” Obama has governed.
“Please make up your mind, Mr. President,” Palin wrote. “You can’t vacillate when spending America’s human and fiscal resources in yet another foreign country without good reason. You said that Libyan leader Gaddafi has got to go. Many of us heard that as your call to action and agreed, “Okay, you’re right. He’s an evil dictator who kills his own innocent people, so enforce a no-fly zone so he can’t continue an aerial slaughter.” But then you said our mission in Libya isn’t to oust Gaddafi after all.”
“At this point, to avoid further mission creep and involvement in a third war – one we certainly can’t afford – you need to step up and justify our Libyan involvement, or Americans are going to demand you pull out. Simply put, what are we doing there?”
