Former UN Ambassador John Bolton tore Obama’s speech as “pathetic” and a “dog’s breakfast.”
He was less than satisfied with Obama’s justification of the Libyan invasion as he told Greta Van Sustren last night. And Bolton wasn’t done.
Mission accomplished-ish.
Five and a half minutes of highlights from CNN, but somehow they missed the key part. They’ve got the bit where he says we’ve already done what we promised (as I said earlier, this speech would be about declaring victory, not urging Americans onward to it). They’ve got the bit where he justifies humanitarian intervention […]
Yemen has been facing domestic strife since the beginning of the year. Protesters have been demanding that President Saleh end his three-decade long rule because of his lack of democratic reform, widespread corruption and human rights abuses carried out by Saleh, his family members and cronies.
Little by little Selah has been giving in the to the protesters demands in early February Saleh announced that he would not seek reelection in 2013, but would finish out his term. Later that month 11 MPs from his party resigned and two weeks later even more MPs resigned. Two weeks ago, Saleh announced a referendum on a new constitution, separating the executive and legislative powers.
Last week at least 52 people were killed by government forces and over 200 injured, when unarmed demonstrators were fired upon on the university square. The president claimed that security forces weren’t even on location and blamed local residents for the massacre. Last week he fired his entire cabinet.And finally Islamist-allied General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar announced that he is siding with the opposition.
According to the Wall Street Journal both President Ali Abdullah Saleh and the country’s top general, al-Ahmarare are very close to a deal in which both men would resign from their positions within days in favor of a civilian-led transitional government, according to three people familiar with the situation
The people familiar with the negotiations said Thursday that Mr. Saleh and Gen. Ahmar are intent on preventing bloodshed and preserving stability in the Arabian Peninsula nation. Aides to both men said that while they both understand that Mr. Saleh’s continued rule is untenable, they have agreed that the timing of his resignation can’t happen until they have worked out the details of a transitional governing council that would take his place. They hope to have a detailed plan ready by Saturday, the people said.
“Both sides have agreed on the main points of departure, and Saturday is expected to be the day that Saleh and General Ahmar both step down,” according to a senior official familiar with the negotiations.
….It was unclear whether the solution being hammered out with the president would meet the expectations of thousands of protesters, who have been camped on the streets of the capital for weeks demanding Mr. Saleh’s immediate resignation. Various factions of protesters have issued manifestos demanding that a civilian council lead Yemen until new elections could be held. But their patience was wearing thin and opposition leaders said the risk of conflict grows higher as time elapses without a solution.
If they do want to prevent violence, the deal must be announced soon. After prayers tomorrow, about two million people will flow into the capital Sana’a to participate in ” Tolerance Friday “.
The sources told the weekly 26 September that the step which is to be taken by men, women and youth came after the opposition Joint Meeting Parties’s call for a protest march on the presidential palace next Friday.
It also aims at stress the Yemeni people commitment to the democratic approach and rejection of any kind of violence targeted the security and stability in the country .
We will provide updates as soon as they come.

NBC’s Andrea Mitchell, who after a 2008 presidential debate hailed Barack Obama’s foreign policy knowledge (“boy, he did show a command of foreign policy in terms of the nuts and bolts of it”), on Sunday’s Meet the Press trumpeted now-President Obama’s Libya action: “This was pretty remarkable – bringing this whole coalition together and getting the Arab League” to back military action.
Mitchell also proclaimed Ambassador Susan Rice “did a remarkable job at the UN” where she delivered “some very adept diplomacy.”
Mitchell’s praise for Obama came in the context of acknowledging “the problem that the President has in projecting American values is that he first of all believes in a multi-lateralist policy,” but instead of seeing that as a negative, she declared “on that score he has really accomplished that. This was pretty remarkable – bringing this whole coalition together and getting the Arab League.”
A couple of Mitchell’s comments on the Sunday, March 20 Meet the Press:
Susan Rice did a remarkable job at the UN. No one could have predicted, even critics of the policy could not predict such a muscular resolution being approved and the abstensions from Russia and China. This came much faster than anyone expected. And came with some very adept diplomacy….
The problem that the President has in projecting American values is that he first of all believes in a a multi-lateralist policy. Now on that score he has really accomplished that. This was pretty remarkable – bringing this whole coalition together and getting the Arab League.

Over the past five NCAA Tournaments, only one No. 4 seed has reached the Final Four.
Only one No. 4 seed has even reached the Elite Eight.
That was LSU in 2006. The Tigers knocked off top-seed Duke in the Sweet 16, beat Texas in the Elite Eight before losing to UCLA in the Final Four.
Kentucky enters today NCAA tourney game with Princeton as a No. 4 seed. Over the past five years, No. 4 seeds are 15-5 in first-round games, 7-8 in second-round games and 1-6 in Sweet 16 games. Four of those first-round losses came in the first three rounds, however, including No. 4 seed Vanderbilt’s 66-65 loss to Murray State.
Here’s a chart of the No. 4 seeds over the last five years:

How pathetic is this? The foreign minister of France, which was spearheading the push for a NFZ initially, flatly admitted today that it’s probably too late now.

Governor Scott Walker was on Greta’s show last night. While some pundits are out there proclaiming he’s a failure in PR, Walker actually got the job done.
As he told Greta, he hopes this event will inspire other governors to be bold with their actions.
Members of the Wisconsin Senate who left the state have returned home and some of them told a huge crowd of farmers, workers, community and religious activists at the state capitol that the struggle for the middle class is not over. Check out some of the Tweets from the rally below:

This morning Governor Scott Walker signed into law the measure that will finally begin to curb the power of Big Labor and bring Wisconsin’s budget back under control. Congratulations, Governor Walker!
Endgame.
Last night on Twitter, some enraged union sympathizer said the senate’s passage of the bill was like a progressive 9/11. Which, I guess, makes the assembly’s passage of the bill — what? The progressive Alderaan? The progressive asteroid-that-wiped-out-the-dinosaurs? Anyway, it’s really, really bad.
