Airstrikes in Libya...

Airstrikes in Libya ... were conducted by Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, acting on their own.  They didn't coordinate the strikes with the U.S., or get prior clearance for them.

The U.S. is receding from the forefront of world affairs.  There is no effective leadership.  Tin pot dictators like Russia's Putin, and posturing closet Islamists like Turkey's Erogodan are competing for the role.  I just hope things don't go to hell too fast, so that our next president has a fighting chance to reassert this country's leadership...
