The Washington Post has a story today on two new polls by the Associated Press andQuinnipiac University, both of which show the country evenly divided on support for our military action in Libya. When it comes to using force to get rid of Gadhafi:
Something to chew on, I suppose. Where do you stand on ousting Gadhafi?
