Hillary's Huge Libya Disaster (http://nationalinterest.org/feature/hillarys-huge-libya-disaster-16600)

The author is a retired Rear Admiral.


Prior to the February 17, 2011, “Day of Rage,” Libya had a national budget surplus of 8.7 percent of GDP in 2010, with oil production at 1.8 million barrels per day, on track to reach its goal of 3 million barrels per day. Currently, oil production has decreased by over 80 percent. Following the revolution, the Libyan economy contracted by an estimated 41.8 percent, with a national deficit of 17.1 percent GDP in 2011.

Hillary collaborated with the Muslim Brotherhood to bring down Qaddafi.


Despite valid ceasefire opportunities to prevent “bloodshed in Benghazi” at the onset of hostilities, Secretary Clinton intervened and quickly pushed her foreign policy in support of a revolution led by the Muslim Brotherhood and known terrorists in the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group. One of the Libyan Rebel Brigade commanders, Ahmed Abu Khattala, would later be involved in the terrorist attack in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. Articulating her indifference to the chaos brought by war, Secretary Clinton stated on May 18, 2013 (http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4329984/clinton-blows-gop-senator-benghazi-hearing), to the House Oversight Committee and the American public, “Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night and decided they’d go kill some Americans? What difference, at this point, does it make?”

Secretary Clinton’s war actually did make a difference. It led to a very real and very tragic humanitarian disaster. Her bad judgment and failed policy resulted in the arming of terrorists, months of war and tens of thousands of causalities, the murder of the American ambassador and the deaths of three other brave Americans, continued civil war and the collapse of the Libyan economy, and a failed nation-state contributing to a tragic European migrant crisis. Clearly the Libyan disaster tops Secretary Clinton’s legacy of failure.

I have mentioned before that Libya, pre-Hillary, was a model for good governance in North Africa. She, Rice, and Powers convinced Obama to destroy the place.

She did well, working against our interests. It would not have been a cake walk for the Crazies had not the this administration blasted the way in for them.

Libya had a civilized population that was doing well, taking care of their own lives and country, before being handed over to the monsters we/they are pretending to fight.

It's a shame and horror what is happening there today.

What is that she said? "What differents does it make?"

She's fat and happy wanting to be President.

Hillary collaborated with the Muslim Brotherhood to bring down Qaddafi. And President Reagan backed the Taliban and Al Qaida in overthrowing the Russian occupation of Afghanistan.

Yes. That was in the context of the Cold War. Look it up. I hear that it was a big deal.

Too her fans, you are likely correct. She could hold a baby sacrifice to Baal and her fans would still enthusiastically vote Hillary.

Right. It started as a democracy movement. But it was backed covertly by Islamists who were way more organized that the young democrats. The Islamists took over the movement. Just as the communists did in 1919 Russia.

Hillary stumbled into it blindly when in fact the US had no vital interests to assert in Libya.
