Libyan war taking longer than expected as U.S. opinion sours on the effort.
A new Rasmussen poll shows little support for the war in Libya:
'A plurality of voters now opposes further U.S. military action in Libya, and most say President Obama needs congressional approval to continue those operations.A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 26% of Likely U.S. Voters feel the United States should continue its military actions in Libya. Forty-two percent (42%) are opposed and 32% are undecided.
'
One thing that's become clear about the Libyan intervention is that the optimistic forecasts about American involvement ("days not weeks") turned out to be utterly wrong. Wars are inherently unpredictable. One would think this would counsel caution, but in Washington, not so much.
