When the Obama administration and NATO, acting under the purported “authority” of a United Nations resolution, backed al-Qaeda-linked jihadist rebels and helped overthrow the regime of Moammar Gadhafi, a former U.S. terror-war ally, Libya was supposed to have been “liberated.” Instead, it spiraled into deeper and bloodier civil war, and has now essentially become a terror state — with groups ranging from the Islamic State (ISIS) to al-Qaeda openly roaming the capital and operating training centers across large swaths of the nation under their control. Libya today, following what analysts and even former U.S. generals described as Obama “switching sides” in the terror war, also features multiple self-styled “governments” battling each other for control over the ruins and traumatized survivors. Amid the chaos, it has become open season on Christians and journalists, too.

Somebody needs to come up with that clip of Hillary dancing on Gaddafi’s grave. She had a big hand in this disaster...before Benghazi.
WTH? Obama meant to put a radical Islamic government in power in Libya and now those knuckleheads can’t even do that right.
The “strong arm” dictators in Libya, Iraq, and the others were so brutal because they had to control and repress a
brutal segment of their population. Through selective bombing and support of “rebels” we have freed that brutal segment from control. Now this formerly repressed group is taking over and attempting to create a world caliphate.
Gosh, what a surprise! It’s almost as if that was the plan all along!
Obama has tried the same thing in Egypt, Tunisia, Syria. Doesn't anyone wonder how ISIS created a well-equipped army out of nothing?
Any bombing we do in Syria will be of Assad's assets in order to help ISIS and the laughably misnamed "Free Syrian Army" to turn Syria into one more jihadi-controlled terrorist state. President JEB! will have no choice but to declare World War 3 in the mid-east.
Three Bushes - three mid-east wars. Funny, huh?
The best thing that can happen now to Libya and the other countries we messed up for Saudi Arabia and other elitist interest would be to break up into tribal entities, and start over. I hope Gowdy has the guts to release a hard-hitting report, one that will put some US leaders on trial in the Hague.
” Three Bushes - three mid-east wars. Funny, huh? “
Yale and Harvard should be sold at a real estate auction.
Land value only, as there are NO “improvements”
0bamanomics is ruining the country. 0bama foreign policy is ruining the world.
She championed the policy of destroying the Libyan government and military. Problem was, she forgot to plan for what came next. So now Libya effectively has no government while the weapons previously belonging to the Libyan military are in the wind. One reason Boko Haram has become so dangerous of late is that they are armed with former Libyan weapons and other equipment.
