McCain seemed to be having a good time. Ambassador Stevens seems a little leery.

...The militant violence in the oil-rich country threatens to destabilize the region, and prove a big embarrassment to the Obama administration and other governments that helped topple Gadhafi....
....Obama hailed Gadhafi’s ouster as “the end of a long and painful chapter for the people of Libya.” Less than three years on, the U.S. has seen one ambassador killed and another forced out of the country by the violence. The September 2012 killings of Christopher Stevens, and U.S. Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith, still pose serious political problems for the Obama administration.

"Gadhafi’s savage killing at the hands of those rebels – unverified video showed him being sodomized with a weapon – should have been a forewarning of the risk posed by a power vacuum."
Uh, THERE WERE PLENTY OF VOICES YELLING STOP. But the man-child AND Hitlery ignored the intelligent ones and chose the path of morons.
I like how NBC buries this kind of analysis on a web site but pretty much REFUSES to nail BO and Hitlery over this on their broadcasts which reach millions more eyeballs.
Bias.
Another one of McCain’s Wars.
HRC: “We came. We saw. he died.”
How’s that working out?
Toward?
Gee you would think someone would have spoken up in opposition to messing with Libya. /s
Islamic hard-line militias are claiming to have taken control of Libya’s second largest city, Benghazi, after defeating army units, taking over military barracks and seizing tanks, rockets and hundreds of boxes of ammunition.

Just like ISIS in Iraq. Depressing.
Now aren’t we all glad that Obama got rid of that nasty Gaddafi.
Reminds me of the south of the border dictatorships of Mexico and Central/South America.
Another O failure. No doubt he’ll blame Bush!
McCain seemed to be having a good time. Ambassador Stevens seems a little leery.
The “Muslim Spring” was organized after Obama took office to try to get the Muslim Brotherhood to take over all these countries and create the new Caliphate.
Obama clearly knew about it and helped it to happen. We had no reason to step in and help Kadaffy get tossed out, Syria is only still standing because they saw what happened to all the other “spring” countries, and did not let it happen to them.
But just like the “occupy [your city]” movement it was poorly orchestrated and never made it to their grand goal.
Thankfully they are as incompetent as they are stupid, or we would have the one-world government they want already.
22 April 2011
Libyan rebels in the eastern stronghold of Benghazi have been visited by the veteran US Senator John McCain.
His visit comes as Libya has accused Nato of killing nine civilians overnight.
The authorities say the victims were working at the water plant in the city of Sirte repairing earlier bomb damage.
Anti-Gaddafi forces have welcomed America’s decision to send unmanned armed drones to join Nato’s military operation.
Libya will sink into madness THEN join this new “caliphate” ISIS claims to have created.
No doubt.
The union with SUCH a chaotic country is doomed. The self-serving despots ALWAYS do themselves in when the leader of said dictatorship runs out of money.
Recall Idi Amin--he ran out of money to pay his goons and it was "bye-bye, Idi."
Wasn’t this Obama’s Excellent Leading-from-Behind Adventure?”
Yeah.. thought so.
Tailgunner Joe, are you out there? I remember your being an enthusiastic support of overthrowing Ghadafi.
The despots always run out of money, wherever they are.
When their army and goons stop getting paid...they turn to the NEXT highest bidder.
That's the way of the THIRD world "garden spots."
The ONLY claim to fame he ever had was when the Italian influence led to better-dressed despots over there. He looked downright spiffy at one time.
Then, old, fat, gluttonous and greedy set in. Chaaaarmimg.
