The day after the attack, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton vowed that "the friendship between our countries, borne out of shared struggle, will not be another casualty of this attack."

"A free and stable Libya is still in America's interest and security, and we will not turn our back on that, nor will we rest until those responsible for these attacks are found and brought to justice. We are working closely with the Libyan authorities to move swiftly and surely."

More than 19 months later, the failure to bring anyone to justice is taking its toll on the relationship.

I thought Hillary engaging in war crimes to kill a POW named Momar Gaddafi and destabilizing Libya would’ve hampered our relationship there.
