Hillary Clinton And The Decision To Intervene In Libya

Hillary Clinton has been working full-time to control the story of her time as Secretary of State. That was the point of her clunky, largely unread book, and the point of her awkward, gaffe-laden book tour.

Clinton argues (plausibly) that she wanted a more activist approach to Syria than that served up by her boss. She argues (implausibly) that she wasn’t really sold on the “reset” with Russia.

As to Libya, Clinton’s priority must be to duck, to the extent possible, the political fallout from the killing of our ambassador and three other Americans by terrorists in Benghazi.

But what about the larger policy that led to Benghazi — our decision to engage militarily on behalf of the rebels in Libya? Juxtaposed not only with the Benghazi killings but also our embarrassing evacuation and abandonment of the United States Embassy in Tripoli, that decision raises key questions for Clinton.

Mirengoff is on to something here, but he misses the most important point: the Witch was up to her eyeballs in bed with with the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Quaeda through her girlfriend and closest confidant, Huma Abeddin, whose entire close family has made the MB essentially a family enterprise in radical Islamic terrorism. Given the horrific record of MB/AQ and the fact that both are are our sworn enemies, "civilian" casualties Gadhafi’s forces may have been inflicting were just a cover for the successful effort of the Witch and Mahdi to depose him, murder him, and replace him with a terrorist MB/AQ regime. IOW, deliberate treason.

Democrats believe that they are slaves on the US feral government plantation, and that their US feral government massah should take care of their every need.

The more I hear from Hillary Clinton, the more I wish the Clintons would just go away. I hope she goes to play with the grandchild and doesn’t run for president and disappears from public life.

I hope I’m not the only person who feels that way. Which I hope foils the plans of the Clintons to return to the White House.

When will Hillary’s book be on the sale rack? When will there be giant bins of them at the 99 cent store???

Amen brother. The Muslim Brotherhood, who are as thick as fleas in Washington and the Pentagon, have Hillary and her fellow travelers of the demented left convinced that democratizing Islam will transform it into a Utopia of Western values.

Meanwhile, the Muslim Brotherhood planned on using Democracy and Western sympathies to gain power, and institute their own Islamic hell on earth.

Hillary and her fellow idiots don’t realize that Democracy isn’t a magic act that allows them to pull a Western rabbit out of an Islamic hat without putting one in there first. Democracy gives back what it gets. Islam in, Islam out. Corruption in, corruption out. Just ask the Christians who are lucky enough to get out of Hillary’s diplomatic disaster with Islam.
