Speaking to reporters during her trip to Jamaica, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized Republicans threatening to cut off funding for operations in Libya by asking, “Whose side are you on?”
I happen to agree with Secretary Clinton that it is wrong for either Republicans or Democrats to play football with national security. Libya should not be a political football. That said, given how President Obama has calibrated his Afghanistan strategy more toward politics than the situation on the ground, perhaps Secretary Clinton may ask the same question of her boss.
