Hillary Clinton takes fire from Democrats as Libya chaos creates terrorist safe haven

Jim Webb could make national security focal point of rival 2016 presidential campaign

By Kelly Riddell - The Washington Times - Thursday, February 26, 2015

As Libya descends into a failed state — marked most recently by the beheadings of 21 Coptic Christians by jihadis — Democrats are beginning to question Hillary Rodham Clinton’s rush to war in the country, and one in particular, former Sen. Jim Webb, may make national security the focal point of a presidential campaign.

More than three years after Mrs. Clinton pushed for U.S. airstrikes to end Moammar Gadhafi’s four-decade-long autocracy, the country has been divided between two rival governments, each with its own military, and various tribal militias all competing for power.

As happened with Afghanistan in the 1990s, the chaos has provided Islamist terrorists with a perfect breeding ground to organize, with intelligence officials confirming late last year that jihadis have set up multiple training camps in eastern Libya.

Back in Presidental campaign mailer Hillary said......."I oppose any rush to war but also believe doing nothing is not acceptable -- diplomacy is the right path," she said. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/24/AR2007102402712.html)

According to a Washington Times news story....The Libyan dictator provided regular reports to the CIA that helped capture or kill key Al Qaeda figures and thwart terrorist attacks against American targets overseas... (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/feb/25/hillary-clintons-war-on-libya-lost-terror-intellig/)

Why was diplomacy the right path for Hussein but not the right path for Gaddafi who was actually helping the U.S.? Gaddafi had abandon his nuclear program and was cooperating with the U.S., what was the pressing need to get rid of him? Hopefully we will find out the reason for this disparity if she decides to run for President.

Everyone knows she's incompetent.
