The White House sought Monday to share the blame for the failed aftermath of the 2011 intervention in Libya, arguing the U.S. and its NATO allies asked too few questions about what would follow after dictator Moammar Gadhafi was toppled.
A day after President Barack Obama called that failure the worst mistake of his presidency, the White House said Obama believed more should have been done to fill the power vacuum. Although the U.S. played a leading role in that effort, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama’s regrets extended to what “the United States and the rest of the members of our coalition didn’t do.”
“The president has tried to apply this lesson in considering the use of military and other circumstances,” Earnest said, “that asking the question about what situation will prevail and what sort of commitments from the international community will be required after that military intervention has been ordered by the commander in chief.” …

George Soros wanted Qadaffi’s wealth.
He came up with this idea of “Responsibility To Protect”. It is a noble name for stealing.
Hillary Clinton’s only child had her wedding at a Soros estate.
Soros told Hillary that Qadaffi needed to go.

Obama was forced to surrender at Benghazi and agreed to pay ransom to the enemy for the safe release of the 40 CIA employees in Benghazi and for Ambassador Stevens body.
The $6,000,000,000 that Hillary Clinton “lost” from the State Department was used to pay the ransom.

You’re probably right.
