Does the White House Know Obama's Libya Plan?

Written by David Frum on Friday March 25, 2011

It's never a good sign when the president's spokesman tells you that the president's strategy is clear, without being able to reiterate clearly what the strategy is.

This is never good:

Asked about concerns raised the day before in a letter by the House speaker, John A. Boehner, Mr. Obama’s spokesman, Jay Carney, said, “I think the president’s been very clear, and he has been asked and answered this question numerous times.”

When the president's spokesman tells you that the president's answer has been clear - without being able immediately afterward to reiterate clearly what the answer is - that is a good clue that the president's answer has not been clear.
