The fall of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi seemed to vindicate Hillary Clinton. Then militias refused to disarm, neighbors fanned a civil war, and the Islamic State found refuge.
Islamists were moving aggressively to seize power, and members of the anti-Qaddafi coalition, notably Qatar, were financing them.
Mrs. Clinton would be mostly a bystander as the country dissolved into chaos, leading to a civil war that would destabilize the region, fueling the refugee crisis in Europe and allowing the Islamic State to establish a Libyan haven that the United States is now desperately trying to contain.
“There was one arsenal that we thought had 20,000 shoulder-fired, surface-to-air missiles, SA-7s, that basically just disappeared into the maw of the Middle East and North Africa,” recalled Robert M. Gates, the American defense secretary at the time.
As she exited the State Department in February 2013, factional violence, which would break into open civil war in 2014, was on the rise.
The flow of refugees paying smugglers for a hazardous trip across the Mediterranean was swelling.
And the Libyan chaos would give rise to two rival governments — one backed by Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, the other by Qatar, Turkey and Sudan — providing sanctuary to extremists, soon to be joined by emissaries of the Islamic State.

TRUTH !
The fall of Quaddafy triggered the flooding of Europe with refugees, just as Quaddafy had warned them it would.
If the US and Europeans had not bombed Libya it would not have happened.
The Obama/Clinton policy have set North Africa/Middle East on fire.
Europe is smoldering.
And where did all of Qaddafi’s wealth end up? Do we need to ask?
Qaddafi not only died, but he died horribly with a knife in his behind being twisted as he walked. How do bleeding heart liberals feel about that, and he trusted us and was working with us.
This article condensed should be put as part of an ad in every major paper in the country. It should ask people to read it to really understand Hillary’s responsibility concerning ISIS. Put a blood red border around the ad to draw attention to it.
People need to become educated concerning Hillary and obviously the media won’t do it, so we must. Let plain education do it’s perfect work.
“No controlling legal authority.” —Al Gore
Qaddafi, like Assad in Syria, were not saints but there were no reports of Christian beheadings, sex slave rings, rampant murders or bombings, etc. Yes, Benghazi Clinton and His Arrogance did found, fund and arm ISIS through the Arab Spring of Death.
The New Yawk Slimerag and bags. She came, she saw and she killed him while dodging sniper fire. Hence, she and Bonzo created ISIS by killing Qaddafi.
The fall of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi was orchestrated by Hillary Clinton. The resulting chaos and creation of ISIS was predicted by Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi himself before he was killed.
What twisted logic would conclude that the fall of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi somehow vindicated Mrs. Clinton?
Vindicate? It was her intention to oust Gaddafi!
Qaddafi didn’t trust the world banks - wonder why - and kept his gold in country.
Has anyone even asked “who got the gold?”
Amazing - everyone knows it all turned to fertilizer because it had no choice, yet the NYT tries to say “It seemed like a good idea before it became a really crappy idea”.....
The media is finding it harder to quash PIAPS role (and mcstain's as well) in the Fast 'n FurISIS scandal. They know Trump isn't going to let go of it, and combined with Rand Paul's renewed calls for her indictment, the MSM is going to press with preemptory trial balloons so that when, say, some more emails show her guilt, the NYSlimes and the rest of the Ministry of Propaganda can say 'Oh, we looked at that a month ago and it was discredited. Old news."
What position, idea, concept, or plan was "vindicated" by the murder of Qaddafi? Other than her adolescent comment, "we saw, we came, he died" comment, what state interest of the United States was involved in this matter?
