George Will is catching up with my post from last week:

On radio host Laura Ingraham’s Tuesday show, Will said Obama’s latest endeavor against Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi is another demonstration of the erosion of power in the legislative branch. …
Will suggested keeping an eye on Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, who recently advised the GOP not to automatically go along with any “military undertakings,” as a potential 2012 presidential candidate who might be more open to question American military interventions.
“I would like to see someone and the one who is going to have to come closest and I’m waiting to see what more he has to say on this, is Haley Barbour, the governor of Mississippi, who has gingerly and tentatively questioned the nature and proportionality of our effort in Afghanistan,” Will said. “It’s time for the Republicans to not be simply a background chorus for whatever military undertakings the United States is in, but to be more hopefully critical.”

I don’t doubt anyone’s sincerity in this, but I just wish some more high-profile Republicans had expressed public skepticism about our ridiculous Wilsonian policies before Obama took office.
