1. I dont see a need for this....

Obama already spoke to the nation before he left on his last trip and explained the mission in Libya....this will be a waste of time...only being done for the whiny media who keep saying they don't know what the purpose of the mission is....

2. Not a waste of time, at all.

In fact, it's overdue, in my opinion. There's a perception of lack of clarity on what the mission is and some think POTUS appears disconnected. This will be his first "official" speech on Libya since the mission was launched.

12. I would love to hear a speech on that.

But don't think he will give one. I want a fucking speech on the fucking GE tax credit and I want to know why I pay more in taxes than they do.

8. Bold choice of location.

The National Defense University (NDU) is an institution of higher education funded by the United States Department of Defense, intended to facilitate high-level training, education, and the development of national security strategy. It is chartered by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, with Navy Vice Admiral Ann E. Rondeau as president. It is located on the grounds of Fort Lesley McNair in Washington, D.C.
