President Obama attacked Libya in 2011 without congressional authority, and then shirked any responsibility to help stabilize the country after deposing its dictator.
By 2013, Libya had become a chaotic hellhole mired in a permanent war. Today it is a new beachhead and recruiting ground for the Islamic State.
Obamas illegal, ill-considered, and immoral drive-by war in Libya ought to be a permanent stain on his presidency. The recent video of masked ISIS killers beheading 21 Egyptian Christians in Libya deserves to be the emblem of this presidents rash foreign policy.
There is no overstating the chaos of post-Qaddafi Libya, writes veteran war journalist Jon Lee Anderson in the New Yorker. Two competing governments claim legitimacy. Armed militias roam the streets. The electricity is frequently out of service, and most business is at a standstill

There are so many examples! Far easier to ask, "what has he done right"?
From the American perspective, not much. He authorized killing of OBL. I honestly cannot think of anything else at the moment.
“As we behold the horror of Libya, including this new Islamic State video, we need to remember the flippancy, deceit, and fecklessness with which the Obama administration helped lead the charge to regime change.”
Also Hillary’s shame.
Yes, that is easy to forget.
What was she thinking?
Failed? Another take may be that all is going according to plan. Without sounding too ‘tin hat’, was Quadaffi’s regime destabilized enough by outside forces to allow Libya to be an Isis gateway to Europe?
Libyas chaos is Obamas PLAN! Fixed it.
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Literally, absolutely, nothing.
And when you do absolutely nothing right, even by accident, it's not incompetence.
It's intentional malignant evil.
Remember how all the Obamanites were pushing that ‘democracy loving Arab Spring’ crapola back in 2011? Libya and Gaddafi’s overthrow were supposed to be another prize in their resume. Benghazi plus this is a fluxin’ disaster. Barry and Hellary looking like utter fools on this one.
“Today it (Lybia) is a new beachhead and recruiting ground for the Islamic State.”........
Once again, odumbo siding with Muslims. He made it very clear he would take their side and he is sticking to his word, dumb ass that he is.
Right, a failed ‘person’ cannot make a successful President... no matter HOW you construe it.
You have to realize that obama did EXACTLY what obama set out to do. He built another radical Islamic state.
obama has always, and will always support the most radical moslem in any conflict.
obama is the enemy
He is one hateful, creepy dude.
America can survive even him. However, we must attack the liberal media every time they lie and distort (every day).
She was probably listening to Huma.
Where is Qadaffi’s fortune? Ask Hillary.
