1. Presidential deception in foreign policy making: Military intervention in Libya 2011

Author

Weissman, Stephen R.

Subjects

Abstract

How did a U.S.--led, U.N.--approved military intervention to protect civilians in Libya end up enabling rebels to overthrow the Qaddafi regime? A variety of evidence shows that the Obama administration was dishonest in publicly describing its military purpose as solely humanitarian when it was largely directed towards regime change. Presidential deception prevented the emergence of alternative policies that might have avoided Libya's postwar chaos while obfuscating U.S. responsibility for that consequence. The essence of the deception is set forth below in contrasting statements by President Obama and former Central Intelligence Agency Director and Secretary of Defense Panetta. Keywords: president, Obama, Libya, Qaddafi, intervention, Benghazi, Clinton, 'Of course, there is no question that Libya--and the world--would be better off with Qaddafi out of power. I, along with many other world leaders, have embraced that goal, and [...]

Security Council -- Military policy
Abstract

The Obama administration produced two remarkable legal opinions about the use of military force against Libya. A memo by the Office of Legal Counsel reasoned that the operations did not amount to 'war.' Later, after military actions exceeded the 90-day limit of the War Powers Resolution (WPR), President Obama was advised by White House Counsel Robert Bauer and State Department Legal Advisor Harold Koh that the operations did not even constitute 'hostilities' within the meaning of the WPR. This article examines those interpretations and other legal arguments by the executive branch, including the claim that the military actions in Libya had been 'authorized' by the UN Security Council and North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies., While escalating the war in Afghanistan and attempting to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq, President Barack Obama in March 2011 opened a new war in Libya without seeking or obtaining [...]
