Why Joe Biden, Secretary of Defense Gates And Most Military Brass Opposed Hillary's Idea To Topple Libya's Qaddafi

"...the decision to overthrow a despotic ruler in a foreign country after he had chosen to turn over his rudimentary nuclear weapons program sent a very clear message to every other despotic ruler in the world: if you have nukes, don’t give them up; and if you don’t have them, get some...If this is 'smart power at its best,' as [Hillary] Clinton says, I would hate to see it at its worst.
...
"If the object was to save innocent lives, however, then one must certainly account for the many thousands who have been killed in the Libyan civil war raging, off and on, since Qaddafi’s overthrow.
...
"If Clinton is willing to point to Libya as a 'signature moment in her four-year tenure' as secretary of state, as the story says, then her resume is breathtakingly shallow."

And you seriously think she's capable of being in charge as Commander-in-Chief??

Why does that past history matter at all?

Do you want "another Iraq?" Because that's what you'll get, no matter who's in the White House next, it seems:

A new war in Libya could have an effect on the Democratic nominating process: this was Hillary’s war as much as anybody’s, and the less said about it the better from her point of view.
...
Has somebody made another inflammatory video? Because the action in Libya is heating up.

When it was just desolation and mayhem for Libyans, the Obama administration was content to let the country stew in the ruins of the “humanitarian war” unleashed by some people [see above quotes] who hadn’t bothered to study the lessons of Iraq but still wanted to look like humanitarian heroes. But now that ISIS is making huge strides, the chaos and misery isn’t just a local problem anymore, and Western governments, including the U.S., seem to be looking at another military intervention of some kind.
...
It’s fascinating how the “junior varsity” of ISIS that we didn’t have to worry about and the “smart foreign policy” “success” of the Libyan intervention have combined to create a crisis so serious that another war may be needed.

But perhaps the worst thing about all this is that Libya always was and still is a distraction from the real crisis in the region, one that in both humanitarian and strategic terms is rapidly becoming one of the greatest disasters of modern times: the implosion of Syria and parts of Iraq into an increasingly vicious war in the heart of the Arab world. The Administration is, sadly, right, that the mess in Libya is becoming so great that some kind of action is increasingly hard to avoid. The future, however, will condemn the blindness and folly of the gratuitous creation of anarchy in Libya and the failure to develop any meaningful policy at all where a strong U.S. hand might really have made a difference.

In any case, the next president is going to inherit an even bigger Middle East mess from President Obama than President Obama inherited from President Bush.

So don't forget, folks, even if you vote in Hillary or Bernie, this ugly mess was already brought to you by none other than the vaudeville team of your present President and his bungling former Secretary of State. Heroes, indeed.
