Once the anti-war candidate, Obama strikes military posture - TheHill.com

President Obama, who won the White House by capturing the anti-war vote, struck an aggressive military posture Friday in dealing with Libya.

But both the president's words and orders reflect the lessons he learned as he stood in opposition to President George W. Bush's run-up to the war in Iraq.

Obama said Friday the U.N. resolution authorizing air strikes against Libya was not an outcome the U.S. had asked for, but one only Libyan Col. Moammar Gadhafi could avoid.
