Fox Torqued By Clinton-Gates 'Diss'

Hillary Clinton and Robert Gates were talking up Libya on the talk show circuit today—except on Fox, and don't you think that host Chris Wallace didn't notice, reports Politico. “Of course we wanted to get the White House view on Libya,” Wallace told his viewers. “However, they chose to offer (Clinton) and (Gates) to ABC, CBS, and NBC.” And despite his show's ratings, "the Obama team felt no need to explain to the millions of you who watch this program and Fox News why they have sent US servicemen and women into combat,” he added. “We thought you’d like to know.” To be fair, notes Mediaite, the secretaries weren't on CNN, either. Wallace instead turned his wrath on Newt Gingrich's personal life. Elsewhere, outside the Beltway sandbox:

• "Each of these situations is unique," Clinton told Face the Nation, denying that the administration is planning interventions beyond Libya. And, she says, "there's been no decision" on whether to arm the rebels.
• Obama needs to better articulate what he's doing in Libya, says Joe Lieberman: “We have taken a side in Libya, and it’s the right side, and we ought to be open about it."
• Libya is not the new Iraq, says Carl Levin: "We're part of an international coalition, very different from the situation in Iraq, where there was no international community support."
• Further, Levin says that giving Moammar Gadhafi the boot isn't President Obama's job: "There are other means of removing Qadhafi than military means. We saw that in Egypt, where the people removed their dictator."
