As U.S. armed forces attack ISIS in Libya, WikiLeaks is poised to remind us that ISIS is in Libya — indeed, that ISIS is ISIS — thanks to disastrous policies championed by Hillary Clinton as President Obama’s secretary of state. Also raised, yet again, is the specter of Mrs. Clinton’s lying to Congress and the American people

I recall when the Benghazi attack happened, I came to FR to find out the real story. Soon I was reading a convincing story of arms looted from Libya being transferred to the anti-Assad forces in Syria. Years later, it has become pretty clear that the explanation was correct. So I ask, what was so important about removing Assad? Was it a case of the US being a cats-paw for Saudi Arabia? It is pretty clear that SA didn't like Ghaddaffi. Or was it because Ghaddaffi was an ally to Russia? Was it a twisted effort to put more of the ME under the control of Islam? Or was it something I am missing?

We were arming the Surian rebels who became ISIS.

Barry and Hillary created ISIS.

What was the excuse used by Hillary and Obama to attack Libya?

The “Responsibility To Protect Doctrine”.

Where did this doctrine come from?

George Soros.

Does George Soros see it as his responsibility to protect everyone?

No.

Why did Soros see the need to overthrow the government of Libya and have Qadaffi killed?

Qadaffi was known as being the richest man in the world. Soros likes money. He saw a way to have the American Taxpayers fund his thieving and murdering.

Why would Hillary and Obama steal and murder for Soros?

Hillary Clinton’s only child had her wedding at a Soros estate. Soros just donated millions to the Hillary campaign.

So I ask, what was so important about removing Assad?

Are you really asking or do you have your tongue firmly planted in your cheek?

Remember that Assad is a close ally of Iran. The Obama administration however is close to the Muslim Brotherhood. They supported the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and wanted the Brotherhood to have power in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lybia and Syria. Iran and the Brotherhood are not allies, they want the same thing basically but have different means, the Brotherhood is more political and Iran is more religious but they have totally different leaders. The revolution against Morsi was a real shock to the Obama administration, one they are still trying to recover from.

Obama wants to rid the world of Israel but as long as there are those who oppose the Brotherhood it is unlikely to happen.

What people don't realize about Obama is that they think he is all about race, that is just political hype, he is all about the Brotherhood.

I remember Glenn Beck bringing up this illegal shipment of arms almost the next month after the annex was destroyed and Stevens murdered. Like so many of Glenn's prophecies I poo pooed it at the time as yet another of his conspiracy theories.
