6. Jon Stewart: Fewer Wars Cause GOP War Hawks to Exhibit Empty Nest Syndrome

By Saul Relative


COMMENTARY | Leave it to a late-night comedian to find a strangely plausible trigger for all the Republican condemnation about developments in Libya and Iraq that most would have thought would have been received as positive news. But sometimes it takes a moment of levity to clear the air of all the partisan smoke.


Jon Stewart used his comedy pen on the Monday episode of "The Daily Show" to explain why Republicans were so quick to criticize the Obama administration's foreign policy with regard to the death of Libya's dictator Moammar Gadhafi and the announcement of the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq by the end of the year. Stewart's diagnosis: The sudden end of two wars triggered an "empty nest syndrome" response within the GOP war-hawk ranks.


After pointing out the Obama administration only carried out an agreement put in place by the Bush administration in 2007, Stewart showed clips of Republicans calling the withdrawal a "mistake," with Rep. Michele Bachmann labeling it a failure of Barack Obama's foreign policy. In one clip, Bachmann stated she was against the Libya "entanglement" from the start.

...


Then Stewart figured it out. "For god sakes, in three days Obama has taken us down from three wars to one." He paused. "Is that what's going on? Are America's hawks having empty nest syndrome?"


Within the space of a what amounts to hours, not only did rebels eliminate the figurehead of the dictatorship that had ruled Libya for more than 40 years and announce they would be working toward setting up a democratic government, but the next day NATO commander Adm. James Stavridis announced NATO would soon be ending its role in the Libyan conflict. Later the same day, President Obama announced the rest of the American troops still stationed in Iraq would return to the U.S. by year's end.

...
