In comments that are sure to draw the ire of her Republican critics, Hillary Clinton sought to contrast the war in Iraq with the intervention in Libya during her stint as secretary of state.
“I’ve said Iraq was a mistake,” Clinton told Chris Matthews during an MSNBC town hall event on Monday night. “Libya was a different kind of calculation. And we didn’t lose a single person. We didn’t have a problem in supporting our European and Arab allies in working with NATO.”
As Politico noted, Clinton was probably referring to the U.S.-backed overthrow of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi in 2011 and not the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks in Benghazi, where four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, were killed.
Matthews pressed Clinton on what he called the United States’ push for “regime change” in places like Iraq and Libya.
“Now, is Libya perfect? It isn’t,” the former secretary said. “But did they have two elections that were free and fair where they voted for moderates. Yes, they did.

While she has an excuse that the earlier Qaddafi mission didn’t lose a soldier, the entire time of Libya regime change was ONE HISTORICAL EVENT and the fact that she can so compartmentalize in her head proves she is a sociopath. It is a very helpful attribute to the minds and hearts of serial killers... You know, people who murder, then murder again, yet live a totally separate persona in public life?? Like that.
Technically she is correct, just like when Bill Clinton said he did not ask people to lie for him a single time.
My thought exactly. I think she is. Even barky-o realizes Libya is a failed state; of course, he blames David Cameron?!
That is not true and shouldn’t be posted on FR any more. He was found dead of smoke inhalation by the heroes of Benghazi. He was dead before the Libyans had his body.
Lying just seems so natural to her now. As the faggies always say, “it’s who I am.”
Senile maybe, with flashes of coherence only with great effort. I'm just guessing.
Technically, she’s right. We didn’t lose a “single” person. We lost four. Is is and all that.
Unbelievable! these pictures, as hard as they are to view.. should be posted wherever hillary’s lies are posted.
When Americans were fighting for their lives in Benghazi, Hillary Clinton ran and hid under her bed petrified that the world was going to discover her criminal activities in Libya.
OK.
I take your word for it. I requested it to be removed.
Other than that, “What difference does it make?”
/sarc
The Clintons AND the Bushes AND the Husseins AND the GOPee make me want to VOMIT.
Thanks for reminding me how much I hate these animals.
“This... is her Dukakis in a tank moment. I don’t know if she can recover from this one.”
Why? The press won’t question her. Look at how this was reported.
That loud sound was my jaw dropping open in sheer astonishment, all the way to the ground. Herself is so deep in De Nile, she has to have drowned by now, or has grown a most exquisite set of gills.
I guess Benghazi was a drive-by shooting, or something. Absolutely nothing to do with engaging “the enemy” in Libya.
Whoever that enemy turns out to be.
Libya was a bad calculation, even a mis-calculation. What were they thinking?
I don’t know about the photo.
The report was that locals took Stevens to a hospital in Benghazi because he was still alive. The report was that he died in the hospital.
You don’t count, your families do not count and you’re not even a person if you have served her highness as toe jam and remain simply, a minor irritation under foot.
