"We Came, We Saw, He Died" – Revisiting The Incredible Disaster That Is Libya

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

In retrospect, Obama’s intervention in Libya was an abject failure, judged even by its own standards. Libya has not only failed to evolve into a democracy; it has devolved into a failed state. Violent deaths and other human rights abuses have increased severalfold. Rather than helping the United States combat terrorism, as Qaddafi did during his last decade in power, Libya now serves as a safe haven for militias affiliated with both al Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). The Libya intervention has harmed other U.S. interests as well: undermining nuclear nonproliferation, chilling Russian cooperation at the UN, and fueling Syria’s civil war.?

 

As bad as Libya’s human rights situation was under Qaddafi, it has gotten worse since NATO ousted him. Immediately after taking power, the rebels perpetrated scores of reprisal killings, in addition to torturing, beating, and arbitrarily detaining thousands of suspected Qaddafi supporters. The rebels also expelled 30,000 mostly black residents from the town of Tawergha and burned or looted their homes and shops, on the grounds that some of them supposedly had been mercenaries. Six months after the war, Human Rights Watch declared that the abuses “appear to be so widespread and systematic that they may amount to crimes against humanity.”?

 

As a consequence of such pervasive violence, the UN estimates that roughly 400,000 Libyans have fled their homes, a quarter of whom have left the country altogether. ?

 

– From the post: The Forgotten War – Understanding the Incredible Debacle Left Behind by NATO in Libya

Shortly after the NATO-led war which ousted Libyan leader Muammar el-Qaddafi, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ebulliently boasted with a characteristic sociopathic giddiness, the following on network television:

Indeed, from Iraq to Libya, and indeed across the entire planet, the U.S. government has an uncanny ability to take an already bad geopolitical situation and turn it into a complete and total chaotic humanitarian disaster. It’d be one thing if the woman in the above video clip had been disgraced and forced into exile in Chappaqua, but the disturbing reality is she will most likely be promoted to the next President of these United States.

In order to fully appreciate what a clueless homicidal maniac she is, let’s reexamine the unmitigated nightmare that is Libya. A nightmare that Clinton and her interviewer laughed uncontrollably about creating.

From Reuters:

At least 47 people were killed on Thursday when Libya’s worst bomb attack since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi hit a police training center as hundreds of recruits gathered for a morning meeting.

 

No group immediately claimed the attack in the town of Zliten, but suicide blasts and car bombings have increased in Libya as Islamist militants have taken advantage of the North African country’s chaos to expand their presence.

 

Since a NATO-backed revolt ousted Gaddafi, Libya has slipped deeper into turmoil with two rival governments and a range of armed factions locked in a struggle for control of the OPEC state and its oil wealth.

 

In the chaos, Islamic State militants have grown in strength, taking over the city of Sirte and launching attacks on oilfields. Islamic State fighters this week attacked two major oil export terminals.

 

Western powers are pushing Libya’s factions to back a U.N.-brokered national unity government to join forces against Islamic State militants, but the agreement faces major resistance from several factions on the ground.

 

For more than a year, an armed faction called Libya Dawn has controlled Tripoli, setting up its own self-declared government, reinstating the former parliament and forcing the recognized government to operate in the east of the country.

 

Western officials say forming a united government would be the first step in Libya seeking international help to fight against Islamic State, including training for a new army and possible air strikes against militant targets.

But hey…

Finally, if you want to understand just how long the war against Syria has been in the works (before ISIS became a huge problem), let’s revisit the following 2011 tweet by “Crazy” John McCain:

And you wonder why the world is in the state it’s in…

Fuck the war crimes tribunal. What's the point of that? To prove her guilt? Everyone knows it's a fair cop. 

Stop fucking around. Put her and Huma against a wall and empty an Uzi into each of their ugly faces. Then, do the same for Bill, Chelsea and the scumbag who bought Chelsea's cherry. Put the footage on YouTube to show the world that the Clintons are gone, never to return.

Then maybe the victims of Bill and Hillary Clinton from Little Rock to Benghazi can finally rest in peace.

Kill Chelsea Hubbell?  Hubbell was scum, bot not enough to kill off his entire bloodline. Spare her life  -let her be a bride to some Isis warrior -or maybe a dozen or so Isis warrors -  from behind the bars of a maximum security prison of course. Can't segregate men and women anymore. That's so politically incorrect.

Webb has plenty of children by his own wife. He won't miss the brat he sired with Hillary.

With both of them gone, on the contrary, maybe he'll finally be willing to talk about what he really knows about the Clintons. Say, how many people he helped bury.

Well, I believe in the rule of law. And while people like HC come along to test that belief more often than I'd like [These are times that try men's souls], in the end I'll stick to it. I hold out some hope that eventually Americans will notice what crimes are being committed in their names, and will respond accordingly, and not with violence, which begets more violence.

So do I. The penalty for aiding and abetting enemies of the United States is death. 

Listen---we won't learn one hundredth of the truth about the stuff Hillary Clinton got up to and what she was capable of until people know telling the truth won't make them her next victim.

The price of the House of Saud's keeping the West well supplied with cheap oil was to systematically destroy all opposition to Saudi dominance in the region. Local rulers were to be overthrown and replaced with nothing, allowing well-funded Wahhabists bankrolled in Riyadh to fill the vacuum, ready and willing to impose Saudi-style Islam by the sword. 

Only the Samson Option spared Israel the same fate as Libya, Iraq and Syria by making violent regime change prohibitively costly. Our masters always found dead Jews more useful in furthering the multicultural agenda than living Israelis able and willing to fight for their country.

Everywhere else, mission accomplished---or would have been had ISIS not turned on their paymasters and Russia not come to Syria's aid.

Think of ALL those bloated Institutions which serve the Sheeple and the Soverign, like the UN, Court of Human Rights etc etc whose very existence is to intervence in matters of War Crimes and Genocide but unfortunately just like their Shadow/Kissing Cousins, ZATO and the EU, are in fact the largest perpetrators of both atrocities.

Hillary remains near the top of my list of War Criminals.

As bad as Libya’s human rights situation was under Qaddafi, it has gotten worse since NATO ousted him."

As I  recall, Gadaffi gave rights to women in Libya unheard of in other Arab countries. You know, there were even women police officers in Libya back then. I can still visualize Hillary's utterance of those words....while kneeling beside his dead body and eagerly licking up his blood.

such bullshit. kaddafi was the closest thing there was to a benevolent dictator in the modern world. the people loved him. there was the issue of his historical tribal rivals but the only other enemies he had were zionazis.

i'd like to see any american leader take an open car ride through the cornfields of iowa let alone any american city street. that was one of the best videos of any leader in the world for the last half century since jfk and the pope.

The world is on an unsustainable path.  The global financial system is FALLING APART - because it no longer serves the interests of most of the people.  one of the big pieces of 'fallout' from this jigsaw puzzle of greed and destruction - more countries will become failed states.  Thats it.  The end.  It's a guaranteed outcome. It's actually pointlees to blame Pres. Obama, or PM Cameron, or whoever you want to pick.  The whole system is crumbling.  Of course, when a country fails, then the "bottom feeders" like ISIS and Al Qaeda step in.  And that's exactly what you see happening.

It is terrifying to me that someone would vote for Hillary. She is so obviously a sociopath it is unreal. She isn't even trying to hide it anymore. I am going to break my 'no politics on social media' doctrine with this video. It needs to be seen. People need to realize who their vote is being cast for.

"Failure"? The Libyan Policy was designed in Tel Aviv and Riyadh to eviscerate yet another secular Arab dictator who was exporting crude above the OPEC quota. Not a single person in Tel Aviv or Riyadh cares one bit about Libya, only that it be taken back to a post-apocalyptic economy reminiscent of Road Warrior. Everyone who "matters," including the Israel-first Jewish traitors in the Clinton/Obama State Department, views the policy as a success. It's the KEY reason no decent person can vote for Hillary.

Now Europe is dying.  Seems only fair.

And does anyone wonder where Libya's gold went? Probably same place as the gold in the World Trade Center following the demolition derby sponsered by US intelligence agencies.

If you have Faith in a Supreme Being, God(head), and the like, you cannot escape the strong propositon that this Schweinhund is "an emissary of the Devil" (Reverend James David Manning calling out Obacaca in 2007)!!  He boldly and accurately characterized him as the Evil One, at the height of his adulation by the easy led and suckers.  

 

Check him out at YouTube.  He and Trump are audacious, courageous, and bold.

i confess i didn't even take the tyme to read the article, other than 'human rights abuse' in libya!

listen up folks,... libya was on the USSA hit list long ago. syria was a close runner-up but it was a trump card held close to the vest for the 'Cheney/ Bush Cabal'. Why? post iraq[?], that's why. the ussa needed syria geographically as a buffer-zone to box in the shiites when they finally finnish the 2nd largest oil [proven and satistically probable outlasting saudi arabia] reserve nation in the MENA region-- that being iraq's capitulation!!!

but, here's my point::

the ussa has the largest prison population in the known world today with ~ 10% [note: brown people don't count in a civil society?]!

nyc has a underground [literally] population that staggers the imagination as does every neo-modern atrophic metro area in the great uss'of`a! look at chicago where the next president will get his endorsement under ramrod 'hail thy`emanuel[?] zionist!!!

next we go to the mexican borders where the illegals flow... cutting american wages in half and crying fowl when trump cries WTF while they rape our land and cut'our purse-strings regarding american citizens without healthcare, so that NAFTA [oh and btw, the creation of NAFTA by clinton was to keep the mexicans in mexico, but what happened, was a mexico`city, now the worlds largest auto-manufacturing region outbesting even china in proportion to pop.] which like all great' perrot`sucking-sounds comes a vacuum of discontent to those who fail to get real [?]PAYBack?! it is so fucking obvious the sheeple in america will believe anything, so fucking oblivious...  a 2x`blowback without a reverse gear won't halt the vortex. indeed, can the priviledged 1% of america's PC, as in, PC Principle from SouthPark's latest series... spells out doom in a reality turned upside down.

last i looked, libya wasn't all that bad... until kadafi [evidense planted does not count plausible deniability whenknotthy- loop?] set up his bedouin tent on Trump's rented estate in the suburds of NYC's little Jerusalem, where the witch hunter 'ever-ending 'NAZI Huaunters prey their viligance. ironically if these MF's stared in a mirror[?!?], they would see themselves as the enslaved palestinians. but, its all about 'human rights abuse'?

fucking disgusting how logic gets twisted

Qaddafi was the George Washington of the Arab World.  He was the man who stood up to the oil companies.  He won, and that victory was the event that brought wealth to all the other Arab oil countries.  Qaddafi's birthday should be celebrated throughout the Arab world.  Qaddafi had courage head-and-shoulders above any of the Gulf States Arab "leaders", and head-and-shoulders-and-thorax above Obama, Clinton, and Sarkozy, who took him out with cruise missiles and a mercenary army.  The people of France and of the USA, of course, don't know this, and don't want to know it.  They just want comfortable jobs, and promises that their kids can go to schools good enough to get them comfortable jobs, and they are glad to parrot any lies TPTB tell them via MSM, if that will keep them their comfortable jobs.

Btw I met a homosexual/gay man

he revealed to me that

he has 3 spirits in hisAnus

these spirits even talk to him

in his mind with female voices

they even reveal others thoughts & feelings to him

This man was very fond of killing

I saw him killing many creatures

and when a creature was dead

he used to have a burp with pleasure

he told me that he swallows spirits of dead

& enjoys it

Well, if your goal is "Order out of Chaos" (PNAC), then all the interventions by the US are in fact successes, not failures, the only failure would be (for now), the case of Syria.

If the goal is enriching the Security and Weapons Industry and keeping the world- and the US population under a neverending feeling of an impending threat to their lives and families, the decades-long "war on terror" is a big success.

Nothing is coincidence, everything is planned, just like you plan your picnic.
