Trump Says Removing Qaddafi Was Mistake, But Pushed For Libya Intervention In 2011
BuzzFeedNews ^ | January 19, 2016 | Andrew Kaczynski

Donald Trump often rails against U.S. intervention in the Middle East that topples dictators whose exits lead to unstable regional consequences like the rise of ISIS and other terrorist groups.

But one intervention he has subsequently come to pan -- the 2011 U.S. intervention in Libya, which led to the toppling of longtime leader Muammar al-Qaddafi — Trump once very loudly called for on humanitarian grounds (transcript and video)...

Do you mean to tell me that the newly conservative Trump has a ton of opposite thoughts in his past? Can’t believe it.

Cruz will win Texas and Marco will lose Florida on Super Tuesday. Hoping for Cruz to carry more states then. Hoping for Marco to get out, but with the backing of the media and GOPe he will have a lot of money.

Hindsight is always 50/50.

Trump said and did MANY things in the past that makes people question whether what he’s saying now is really what he believes in (or is it simply out of convenience?).

But hey, to his supporters, it doesn’t matter — THIS TIME, HE MEANS IT.

My advise is to follow Reagan’s dictum: TRUST BUT VERIFY

I think that article I posted a few back got it right, Rubio and his establishment cronies are hoping for a brokered convention. But that pretty much goes out the window when Marco loses Florida.

There was NO REASON to remove Kadaffy. He was pretty well-behaved since Reagan bombed his palace while he watched from a tent on the front lawn.

But Obama/HilLIRy wanted to help “The Arab Spring”.

Which was the cute name they came up with which really meant Muslim Brotherhood TAKEOVER of the whole middle east.

That was at about the same time as he said, “Hillary would make a great president or vice president” and “Obama’s a superstar!”

It’s like they have battered spouse syndrome. I wish there was a more sure way to save them (and our country) from themselves. In the meantime, all we can do is keep trying to wake them up while there is still time.

“Ted Cruz, the only cosistant conservative in the race!”

He said Rubio would be better than Trump.

You guys can drop the pom-poms now. He’s officially out.

Qaddafi sold out his terrorist brethren by renouncing terrorism, handing over his nuke program, and suing for peace. Therefore Obama, who is allied with our enemies, and hates all our friends, had to make an example out of Qaddafi...and Trump and Rubio helped him do it.

Trump is the biggest fraud to ever run for president. It’s little wonder he was so close to the Clintons. He shares their insouciance about scamming the American people. Everything he knows about foreign policy was taught at Trump University.
