Serendipity and a sudden flashback to recent reality. Which is to say, I just now happened to click on Congress.org's site and rather than the current page I was treated to this article -- "Will U.S. intervene in Libya?" -- from last Friday, March 18:
A group of lawmakers pushing for intervention in Libya praised the Obama administration Thursday for what they said was its new readiness to back military options against Muammar el-Qaddafi’s autocratic regime.
Lawmakers and senior Senate sources ... were informed [in "a classified briefing with administration officials"] that the administration was considering creating a no-fly zone and a no-drive zone in an attempt to create safe zones where government forces would not be permitted to go....
The calls for more forceful intervention have grown increasingly urgent since pro-Qaddafi forces began striking back at the less-organized rebels....
All italics are mine, but by rights they should be from "lawmakers" -- all those, that is, who are now squawking about having been sidelined and left uninformed; those who prattle today as though all of Obama's actions in concert with multilateral forces then were but a bolt from the blue, which they, all along, held deep reservations about.
Furthermore, in Congress.org's sidebar there's a listing of "Recent Headlines." There was no reference, on that Friday of March 18, to John Boehner's concerns, whether deep or characteristically shallow.
