Here are snips of an very extensive article (3 parts) from the Washington Times this past Jan (before HRC decided to run- if I'm not mistaken) in regards to what went on with who and how. Enjoy!
Both inside and outside the Obama administration, Mrs. Clinton was among the most vocal early proponents of using U.S. military force to unseat Gadhafi. Joining her in making the case were French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican, and her successor as secretary of state, John F. Kerry.

Yes. Hillary, too. She was the real mover behind the Libya-Syria operation. http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=389069

(85,999 posts)...now props for Gadhafi.
Gadhafi was already staging attacks on his political opponents, including arrests and airstrikes.
You used a well-known conservative rag to prove your point? This is what passes for opposition to our Democratic candidates these days. You can find plenty of opposition in the right-wing press. Question should be, what are the motives of the writers? It certainly can't be more sincere than the opportunistic use of these conservative-based charges just to bash our Democratic nominee.

(23,720 posts)It is verifiable with a credible source. It does not promote or Defend Gadaffi. It does speak about Gadaffi though.
It is about dishonesty and the fact that our own military had doubts and didn't trust HRC. So how you can justify replying as you did- I have no idea. Is there anything substantial you like to contribute- please share. I feel certain that others will judge your article(s) based on their merit. As it is right now, you got nothing to back up your claim.
Typical attack the messenger. I'm hardly surprised. If you can rebut it credibly and civilly, please do so.

(85,999 posts)...fuck propping up dictators here just to bash our Democratic candidate.
I expect that from the Moonie Times, starting to become predictable here.
Btw, how often DO you believe our military has told us the truth?

(23,720 posts)Perhaps those folks who are slamming the messenger will accept it as valid. However, at this point, I find it difficult to believe that they wouldn't find something wrong and attempt to discredit that source too.
