Barbour on Libya: ‘We Haven’t Provided Leadership’

“Since World War II, the world has looked to America for leadership. But we haven’t provided leadership in this administration,” Barbour told a Mississippi radio station earlier today.

“The Obama administration’s position has been to say, you know, we’re just one of the boys, so we’re not going to try to be the leader,” Barbour added. “And we see that when you don’t have strong leadership from the strongest country in the world, that everybody else scatters out and breaks up.”

Barbour also said the U.S.  should be “careful … about getting into national building exercises.”
