Qadaffi became inconvenient to the bankers and global business interests who wanted control of his oilfields and stability in the petro dollar market

The Europeans were running those oilfields with 30,000 Chinese workers while the NATO bomb craters were still smoking

And- follow Qadaffi’s gold

Who got it and what favors did they provide in return?

maybe use of their country as a building ground for an radical islamist anti-Assad movement? A movement that needed funds for weapons, food, equipment, logistics, and salaries?

Training flight. So Middle East nations can practice not seeing it on their klunky Soviet tube-based gerbil-powered air-defense radar systems.

And just how many stories were run on obama talking about the cost of every specific mission that day?

Uniparty media is just political hacks.

What was costly was a fake PR war from the fake war on terror by a fake president.

At the same time 6.6billion dollars worth of food stamps were traded for booze, smokes and drugs at 25cents on the dollar.

Arming jihadists is treason.

>What’s left to bomb? Was there a Trump rally in Libya?

There’s a growing ISIS presence in Libya. Either that or we were bombing the faction allied with Russian and Egypt that’s trying to restore order to the country. Hard to tell given the utter lack of MSN reporting from Libya.

It proved 100% true. Gaddafi was a dictator, but he was against ISIS, and like Assad, there was no better alternative. No doubt Obama and Clinton knew this - but the purposefully created chaos anyway. why?

And the navy has no stealth platform until the F-35Bs and Cs reach IOC with the fleet.

That’s a lot less than it cost to bomb Libya back to the stone age in the first place.
Which is why we’re having to bomb terrorists there now.
