So, not only did Obama and Clinton go back on America's word to leave Gadhafi alone after he gave up his WMD, but they set the stage for chaos and tribal warfare which leads to.... open-air slave markets.
It’s surprising the extent to which Clinton has gotten a pass for this debacle, which represents a humanitarian and strategic failure of the first order. (And, of course the damage is still compounding: How likely is North Korea’s Kim Jong Un to give up his nuclear weapons, after seeing the worthlessness of U.S. promises made to Gadhafi?)
Back during his brief stint in the Democratic Primary, former Sen. James Webb raised the issue, saying: "We blew the lid off of a series of tribal engagements. You can't get to the Tripoli Airport right now, much less Benghazi." But as the Libya disaster continues to unfold, Clinton’s role in it gets surprisingly little attention.
Obama built that. Clinton built that. The Democrats built that.
