Hillary Broke Libya
Legal Insurrection ^ | 06/10/2015 | Aleister

ISIS has a seaport, and al Qaeda’s gone wild.

You might think that the fact that four Americans died in the 2012 attack on our embassy in Libya (on Hillary Clinton’s watch) was bad enough, but you’d be wrong.

Stephen Collinson of CNN:

Hillary Clinton’s real Libya problem

Hillary Clinton has another Libya problem.

She’s already grappling with the political headaches from deleted emails and from the terror attack that left four Americans dead in Benghazi.

But she’ll face a broader challenge in what’s become of the North African country since, as secretary of state in 2011, she was the public face of the U.S. intervention to push out its longtime strongman, Moammar Gadhafi.

Libya’s lapse into the chaos of failed statehood has provided a breeding ground for terror and a haven for groups such as ISIS. Its plight is also creating an opening for Republican presidential candidates to question Clinton’s strategic acumen and to undermine her diplomatic credentials, which will be at the center of her pitch that only she has the global experience needed to be president in a turbulent time.

If Hillary Clinton gets the 2016 Democratic nomination, an idea which still seems inevitable despite small advances by Bernie Sanders, Democrats will rely heavily on her foreign policy experience as secretary of state.

Unfortunately for them, nothing on her resume reflects success.

Why did Hillary and Obama attack Libya and have Qadaffi killed?

Where did Qadaffi’s fortune go?

Is Hillary really getting $300,000 per speech, or is that a lie to explain away the money she stole from Libya?

The Harridan has ‘’headaches dealing with deleted e-mails’’. She does? Could’ve fooled me. That story died a month ago. She hasn’t got any headaches. Not as long as the lap dog media keeps covering for her.

From his days as a “Communisty Organizer”, Obama has a naive bias toward “popular uprisings”, both here and abroad. Well-controlled, fair, voter-identified one- (wo)man-one-vote elections, and the rule of law, are not as favored as people marching in the streets.
So riots in America’s cities are justified. And uprisings in Moslem countries are organized by Islamic extremists, knowing that Obama and Hillary will come down on their side. These nations were better off under the more secular military dictators, like Mubarak and Qaddafi - and now Assad in Syria. We see that the alternative to Assad is the worse genocidal ISIS.
Another mistake, made worldwide, is supporting the fetish of “territorial integrity” of places like Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Ukraine and Spain - where the people of an area want to separate. Why not allow them to do so with a 60-67% vote? The West supported the breakup of Yugoslavia and almost allowed the foolish departure of Scotland from the UK with only 50%.
