Pretty much sums it up

Obama To Declare Mission Accomplished In Libya War Tonight

Though Secretaries of War Adventure Robert Gates and Hillary Clinton are “leaving open” exactly how many years in Libya the United States will be fighting a war to remove a despot they say they don’t want to remove, President Obama is continuing on with a scheduled address to the nation tonight on our cute new little war in which he will “discuss how our efforts in Libya have advanced our interests and averted a catastrophe,” according to the White House. Which is interesting, because just yesterday Gates said Libya did not pose a threat to the U.S. and going to war there was “not a vital national interest.” And our military says the gains made by the side we’re supporting in this civil war could fast be reversed if we ever stop bombing the other side. So our Nobel peace laureate will simultaneously pretend he doesn’t care if Gaddafi stays as dictator, sell the lie that we won’t be in Libya for a long time, and convince America this war is in its interest while the guy in charge of its military says it isn’t. Good thing he’s so good at talking and such!

So the only remaining question is, will he wear a flight suit?

(And no, BTW, I will not be watching the speech. I've already had enough aggravation for today. For example, today was the first time since the Big Bang itself I've agreed—more or less pretty much—with a column by that Doughhat guy at the NYTimes. That's just how grim it's been.)
