the speech. it was a real world explanation or exploration of the theme that is the president set out in his speech. the concept of a just war is how the president spells it out. whether it works politically depends on the success. here s the way it was just and justified and that s a piece of american exceptionalism. now richard, do you think that the white house meant to go this far? i listen to the speech from here in benghazi and clearly the people here were touched by it because the president talked about not waiting for mass graves to be filled. theseould have beenheeoe of ben gayha filled those mass graves the president went beyond talking about libya and justifying the action he talked about a new doctrine of preemptive war going to war when the president of the united states doesn t feel it is morally right not to go to war.
