A new era in U.S. foreign policy

By Fareed Zakaria, CNN August 23rd, 2011

Back in March, many neoconservatives in Washington were extremely dismissive of the way President Obama was handling the intervention in Libya. They argued that he was doing too little and acting too late – that his approach was too multilateral and lacked cohesiveness. They continuously criticized President Obama for, in the words of an anonymous White House advisor, "leading from behind."

But now that these critics are confronted with the success of the Libya operation, they are changing their tune and claiming paternity of the operation. They are further arguing that if their advice had been heeded, the intervention in Libya would have been swifter and even more successful. But the Libya intervention is so significant precisely because it did not follow the traditional pattern of U.S.-led interventions. Indeed, it launched a new era in U.S. foreign policy.

The Neo-cons regret the military option they took in Libya, and now they're pointing their fingers at the wrong man -Obama- ,but in fact Obama wasn't responsible for the loss of their diplomats in the first place ,it was the fault of the CIA.
