Don't forget it was NATO that bombed the hell out of the country, killed Qadaffi (local militia members might have committed the act but it was made possible by a US drone, and then of course Hillary Clinton gloated about it afterwards) and turned Libya over to a melange of terrorist and vigilante groups in the first place.
We sure don't hear much commentary on HRC's diplomacy skills, do we. And for that matter nothing from the 2009 Nobel Peace prize recipient. Oh well.....
Legacy of Obama the terrible
the man in charge at present is the man who is Responsible for what takes place NOW
only the dead live and think in the past
Trump is not responsible for Libya. He is disengaging a military force that is spread too thin for conflicts that have no support due to propaganda like yours, propaganda form China, Iran and others, and libtard progs.
He is focusing it on a potential major war with China and Russia.
Libtard progs occasionally grouse about Salafists around the world, but entirely embrace their political wing in the USA. When the salafists in the USA virtue signal their anti-Semitism, progtards and wingnuts signal their resounding approval by how desultry their protest is.
A) Which military units would you designate for Libya?
B) Would you make the case and keep the DNC motherfuckers from being for it until they are entirely against it?
C) Are you going to have an ad campaign, fireside chat, PSAs to sell it to the public at large?
D) Will you call off you mother fuckering goon squad ANSWER coalition, a military wing for the Democrat Party?
E) When is a wingnut like you going to grow up?
