While Congress Was Fighting About The Budget, We Lost The War In Libya

This is a portion of a speech President Obama made to America on March 28 of this year:

"As the bulk of our military effort ratchets down, what we can do -- and will do -- is support the aspirations of the Libyan people.  We have intervened to stop a massacre, and we will work with our allies and partners to maintain the safety of civilians. We will deny the regime arms, cut off its supplies of cash, assist the opposition, and work with other nations to hasten the day when Qaddafi leaves power.  It may not happen overnight, as a badly weakened Qaddafi tries desperately to hang on to power.  But it should be clear to those around Qaddafi, and to every Libyan, that history is not on Qaddafi's side.  With the time and space that we have provided for the Libyan people, they will be able to determine their own destiny, and that is how it should be." 

This is a statement from the Washington Post on July 27:

""Obviously, him leaving Libya itself would be the best way of showing the Libyan people that they no longer have to live in fear, but as I have said all along, this is ultimately a question for Libyans to determine," British Foreign Secretary William Hague told reporters Monday night before talks with his French counterpart, Alain Juppe."

It seems that we have given up the original plan of removing Qaddafi from Libya and decided that he can stay if he steps down and behaves.  This is the recipe for a prolonged civil war.  To me, this means that we have lost the war in Libya and are trying to give the appearance of still being in control.
