WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 28: President Barack Obama speaks about U.S. military action in Libya March 28, 2011 at the National Defense University in Washington, DC.
"As president, I refused to wait for the images of slaughter and mass graves before taking action," Obama said, arguing that America had a "responsibility" to intervene to prevent civilian massacres.
But he cautioned the military campaign was not aimed at ousting the veteran Libyan leader by force and introducing regime change.
"To be blunt, we went down that road in Iraq," Obama said, warning America could not afford to repeat the bloodshed and costs of the Iraq war.​
