No, it's just a remark. And one I think that's defend-able. Bush would have made some dramatic remarks about standing up for those who seek freedom, the neocons would have had a circle jerk, and then they'd do nothing.
I think the calculus in Libya might not be in Khadaffi's favor. The real end game may be to get regime ending concessions.

Window is closing. Center of gravity was Tripoli, now it is Benghazi. Window. Closing. No time for high end fencing around an issue. Not that I support it...

One of several reports but I'll use the NYTimes one:

China-Iran - take your pick (though it is earlier in this news story)
Google
Obama when he doesn't do something or pick a side is good while displaying a certain elan and obvious high intelligence lost on the masses, Bush is bad - I get it.
Time will cost lives. Best to either get it on early or not at all.
