Hillary Clinton convinced President Obama to destroy the Libyan government. Now Libya is a terrorist hell hole.

There is a massive refugee crisis, ISIS is running rampant, unspeakable atrocities are being committed, and US weapons are falling into terrorist hands all over the Middle East and Africa. This is destabilizing other countries.


pnwmom please get informed to about reality. nothing personal. But Hillary is to blame.





From the New York Times:
The president was wary. The secretary of state was persuasive. But the ouster of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi left Libya a failed state and a terrorist haven.
link

As the secretary of state in 2011, Hillary Clinton pressed the Obama administration to intervene militarily in Libya, with consequences that have gone far beyond the fall of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi.

She cashed several 6 figure checks...in other words, she sold her soul and the really sad thing is the fact that her followers (is sycophants to strong a word?) can't see that she will sell us out asap.

It's an especially brilliant question considering the fact that many of the nations in question (that secretary clinton's state department sold butt loads of guns to) are clients of the Podesta Group, this man's lobbying firm. no wonder he was squirming!

They are perfect ones. She is not a progressive. She is not a leftist. These surrogates and advisors reveal who she really is just as Obama's cabinet picks reveal who he was.

This is the real Hillary Clinton, and these are go to men of power.

even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while!

just because this guy is a libertarian rand Paul supporter and we on the left probably don't agree with him about much of anything doesn't mean that his questions didn't have merit or that podesta's answers weren't awful (they were). The gun issue question was particularly poignant and pertinent given mr. podesta and secretary clinton's attacks on senator sanders over the gun issue.
