The AP takes a nothing-burger and tries to make it a steak dinner. Of course, this promotes the conservative memes that Pres. Obama isn't concerned with national security and that his administration is incompetent.

EILEEN SULLIVAN (AP) - Associated Press WASHINGTON The government's top intelligence official fumbled the Obama administration's message Thursday about embattled Moammar Gadhafi's fate, telling Congress that the Libyan leader will prevail in his fight with rebel forces there. It was the latest in a series of public gaffes for James Clapper, the director of national intelligence.
This is the part of the story that detracts from the headline:
The head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Lt. Gen. Ronald L. Burgess Jr., agreed with Clapper's assessment.
