The US-British-French-NATO humanitarian intervention put an end to that by overthrowing the Libyan government under entirely phony pretexts, in contravention of fundamental international law, and in violation of the UN resolution they claimed as a justification. The executioners and beneficiaries of that aggression where the jihadis who have been rampaging from Mali to Manchester. It's a bright, clear line.
Ghaddafi himself warned Tony Blair that "an organization [the LIFG].has laid down sleeper cells in North Africa called the Al Qaeda organization in North Africa." Gh addafi's son, Saif, warned that overthrowing Libya's would make the country "the Somalia of North Africa, of the Mediterranean" and "You will see millions of illegal immigrants. The terror will be next door."
Thanks to Blair and Obama and Clinton and Sarkozy, that's exactly what happened. Libya was destroyed as a functioning state, and the terror is now inside every Western door.
Westerners and Americans transfixed by Ghaddafi's garish posturing may have, and may still, find it hard to accept, but it needs to be said aloud: In 2011, Ghaddafi was right about what was going in in Libya, and all best and brightest militaristic conservatives and "humanitarian" liberals, in and out of government, were wrong. A lot of radical lefties, too, myself included; though I always vehemently opposed the US-NATO intervention, I, too, took Ghaddafi's complaints for excuses. But lesson learned (by some): What was going on in Libya was the same thing that went on in Afghanistan in the 80s, and the same thing that is going on in Syria today, supercharged by the intervening war in Iraq
Throughout this nefarious chain of destruction, nobody in the world has committed worse crimes than all the "humanitarian" liberals in and out of government who have enacted and/or gone along with the imperialist chaos program of destroying relatively prosperous and secular societies in the Arab and Muslim world, and replacing them with sectarian jihadi playgrounds. And no force in the world is more responsible for the rampaging jihadi wolves, lone and in packs, than the United States and its compliant allies, including Great Britain.
Whether any American liberal wants to or not, anyone who is mourning Manchester needs to hear it said: We're crying over the horror in Manchester today because yesterday Hillary Clinton was laughing about the horror she inflicted on Libya --including the killing of Ghaddafi by those protected Salafist proxies who sodomized him with a bayonet: "We came. We saw. He died. [big smile, joyous laugther]" Yes, exactly that.
Ha, Ha. Maybe she can get a gig in a comedy club in Manchester.
Really, knowing what we do about Libya through to Manchester, does any of the outrageous things we've seen from Trump equal the despicableness of Hillary's perverse glee in this video? It's an image not to be forgotten.
