Gen. Mike Flynn: Why Hillary's record on Libya is even worse than you think
Fox News ^ | 6 Oct, 2016 | Michael Flynn

But new evidence -- and a review of the public record -- reveals that Hillary Clinton’s actions in Libya were not just disastrous policy, but a violation of U.S. anti-terrorism law.

A recent report to the Foreign Affairs Committee of the British House of Commons concluded that Western intervention in Libya was based on "inaccurate intelligence" and "erroneous assumptions." Advocates failed to recognize that “the threat to civilians was overstated and that the rebels included a significant Islamist element," and the failure to plan for a post-Qaddafi Libya led to the "growth of ISIL" in North Africa.

However, “inaccurate intelligence” doesn’t fully describe the whole story. A closer examination of the run-up to the Libya debacle on September 11, 2012 leads to the irrefutable conclusion that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knowingly armed radical Islamist terrorists in Libya.

False pretenses

The American public was told that the intervention in Libya was necessary to prevent a humanitarian crisis. But just as Hillary Clinton would describe the attack on our Benghazi diplomats as a spontaneous protest over a video, the military intervention that led inexorably to the debacle in Benghazi was sold on false pretenses.....

Hillary Clinton described the 2011 Arab Spring rebellion in eastern Libya as a spontaneous pro-democracy uprising, but the Libyan connection to radical Islamic extremist groups was well known long before 2011.

The region where the rebellion began was a fervid recruiting ground for jihadis who killed American forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The leaders of the “civilian uprising” that Hillary Clinton supported were members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) who had pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda. They refused to take orders from non-Islamist commanders and assassinated the then leader of the rebel army, Abdel Fattah Younes.

Benghazi seems to be like "Ron Brown's airplane" where in this case, ALL 40 staffers were sentenced to a pre-arranged death by Clinton Podesta and co-conspirators.

That fits the facts like a glove.

Some one set them up. 0bama and Hillary are the only two people in the world in control of the above factors. Not SecDef Panetta, not any subordinates, not anyone but those two. 0bama and Hillary set them up.

...Hillary hoped for further chaos within Syria so that the US would have a better "opportunity" to overthrow the government there too.

If Chris Wallace would ask questions the American people want answers to rather than the insider 'horse race' he could save the debates for journalists...

It's hard to know the things that matter and then be subjected to the garbage. I mean:

DID WE STAND WITH ISIS?

IS THIS WAR A NUTTY EGO BULLSH*T WAY FOR HILLARY TO SHAKE-DOWN POTENTATES IN THE MIDDLE EAST FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS?
