President Obama takes credit for killing Bin Laden. He claimed al Qaeda was “on it’s heels“.When an al Qaeda allied group killed Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi the white house blamed it on an obscure internet video. The video maker went to jail and Obama got re-elected. What difference does it make?

Here’s a David Ignatius analysis of “al Qaeda 2.0″.

After sincerely mentioning “acts of terror” in the rose garden, the president went on “The View” with  and sincerely mentioned he was “eye candy”.

One thing the president is not taking credit for these days is his “lead from behind policy” in Libya. Here’s a column by the Richard Cohen in the Washington Post on the subject.

The Obama administration insists the murder of an ambassador and three others amounts to nothing more than a thumbs down review of a bad movie. The administration of Mohammad el-Magarief (Libyan president) says it was a planned terror attack.

Islamists flew their black flag over the American embassy in Egypt, burned the U.S. consulate in Libya, and murdered four of its staff, including ambassador Chris Stevens - because they hate us, though they say it was because the didn’t like a movie. The U.S. Embassy in Cairo issued an apology for the movie. Romney immediately came swinging from the trees to attack the apology. Obama was shocked, shocked by Romney’s attack. Obama condemned Romney, then condemned the attackers, and retracted the apology for the movie. Hillary condemned the Libya attack too, but then apologized for the movie.

The Real Clear Politics Morning Note compared Obama’s response favorably to Bush’s original 9/11 response:

“The American people need to know that we’re facing a different enemy than we have ever faced,” Bush added. “This enemy hides in shadows, and has no regard for human life. This is an enemy who preys on innocent and unsuspecting people, then runs for cover. But it won’t be able to run for cover forever. This is an enemy that tries to hide. But it won’t be able to hide forever. This is an enemy that thinks its harbors are safe. But they won’t be safe forever.”

On the 11th anniversary of those attacks, the United States was targeted again, this time in Egypt and Libya. Once again, the initial governmental response from the administration was not commensurate with the threat. But today – 11 years to the day that Bush found his voice – President Barack Obama released a forceful statement of his own.

“I strongly condemn the outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens,” the president said this morning. “Right now, the American people have the families of those we lost in our thoughts and prayers. They exemplified America’s commitment to freedom, justice, and partnership with nations and people around the globe, and stand in stark contrast to those who callously took their lives.”

The UN Security Council finally authorized the use of force against Libya. Gadhafi ordered a cease fire as promptly as he handed over his wmd after seeing Saddam stetch a rope in 2003.

Still, some are skeptical and, according to Al Jazeera, the fighting continues.

A story in the Guardian calls the cease fire a crafty move by Gadhafi to consolidate his gains.

One reason the administration was slow to criticize Gadhafi was fear Americans in Libya might be taken hostage.  Rather than a speedy naval evacuation, a small ferry was chartered.

Faux Birther, Christopher Hitchins, sarcastically accuses Obama of Swissness for waiting to see which side is winning before jumping on board.
