Labrador Questions Libya Action

After applauding President Barack Obama for "quite eloquently" explaining his reasons for intervening in Libya, Congressman Raúl R. Labrador said in a statement: "I wish he had communicated much earlier with Congress, as well as the American people. ... Still, my concerns remain the same as before the President spoke.  What is our exit strategy?  What is the definition of ultimate success?  Most importantly, what is the real world limitation on these new guiding principles he has expressed?  As we witness new and more violent uprisings throughout the Arab world, what will prevent us from further engagements in the region?”

Question: Do you also have mixed emotions re: the reasons President Obama gave for intervening in Libya?
