Al Alarabiya ^ | Tuesday, 29 September 2015

U.S. President Barack Obama said on Monday the international community should have done more to avoid a leadership vacuum in Libya, which has been in disarray since the fall of Muammar Qaddafi four years ago.

Obama told the United Nations General Assembly the international community must work harder in future to ensure states do not implode.

The rapid descent of Libya into violent chaos was one of the most dramatic events in the "Arab Spring," the abrupt collapse of long-standing autocratic governments in a number of Arab countries in the face of popular protests.

LIAR. Bombing Libya was 0dunga's way of creating chaos in order to OPEN THE FLOODGATES OF MUSLIMS INCLUDING ISIS TO IMMIGRATE INTO EUROPE!!!

U.N./NWO operative 0dunga FORWARDING the Caliphate into Europe!! Failing to SERIOUSLY attack ISIS is the other prong of the plot.

EVIL plot. 0dunga's mission completed.

So what difference does it make now.....you idiot. Khadafi had the Muslims under control and gave up his nuke and chem weapons.

Assad gave up his chem weapons and has been trying to get rid of ISIS...aka...the rebels....aka...the dudes you've been arming.

I hope Putin nailed your a**. Interesting that Putin mentioned Libya in particular at the UN....and this comes out.

NOW the Current Occupant reveals that “Mistakes were made”?

Mistakes, of course, take on a life of their own, and are completely independent of whomever may have been in the room at the time. < /sarcasm >

0dunga’s rejection of any assault on ISIS should be grounds for his removal from office.

Obama the Bastard, your effing foreign policy is such an epic failure of such gargantuan proportion that the world may not survive it. At the very best we the Free World will suffer its consequences for decades to come.

Maybe he should have said something about Hillary’s private war before he approved it. But then he cannot be bothered with details like daily briefings...

Run, Joe, Run!

Anybody who doesn't think Obama is working to defeat Hillary is not paying attention.
