#1 After the obligatory Bush-bashing about Iraq - which I believe was the seed of the 'Arab Spring', he gets down to the One:

Meanwhile, the Obama administration is about to hit the 60 day deadline imposed by the War Powers Act, and so it is marshaling a lot of clever lawyers to find some way to keep the war going. But here's a radical suggestion: why not just go to Congress and ask for authorization? Such a step would be consistent with the U.S. Constitution, and President Obama made this very point himself before he became President.

O never did get around to speaking to Congress about this billion-dollar debacle? Just chump-change, Mr. President?

So if the liberal interventionists who got us into this war want to make their decisions look good in retrospect, they had better have a plan to ensure that political transition in Libya goes a lot more smoothly than it did in Iraq.

I ain't holdin' my breath.
