How did this possibility of a proxy war arise in the first place? The Obama administration led a NATO effort to decapitate the Moammar Qaddafi regime without putting any boots on the ground to shape the outcome and prevent the inevitable power vacuum from the collapse. That’s what makes American whining about “outside interference” so hypocritical, and the claim that Libya is undergoing a “democratic transition” utterly risible. Tripoli isn’t being liberated by democrats, but captured by radical Islamists who will impose another dictatorship on the ancient city.
That’s the outcome that Egypt and the UAE want to prevent, and that’s especially important to Egypt. Sisi’s military government has outlawed the Muslim Brotherhood, the parent organization of these radical terrorist networks, after Mohamed Morsi tried to impose a shari’a state on Egypt after an election.
They want the secular militias to emerge as the controlling clique instead. That may not sound palatable to the Obama administration — but that’s precisely the outcome that the administration favored in Syria, and the strategy which it’s attempting to follow there now after the rise of ISIS.
To call this finger-wagging incoherent is an exercise in understatement. It’s difficult to know what “democratic transition” this administration believes is in process in Libya, because it exists only in their fantasy world where their foreign policy has enjoyed the entirety of its success.
Nearly three years ago, then–Secretary of State Hillary Clinton waved a peace sign to cameras in Tripoli as she celebrated the U.S.-aided overthrow of the kleptocratic government of Moammar Gadhafi. Clinton claimed victory for her philosophy of “smart power,” the self-regarding name for bombing people on behalf of rebel groups in a war that would be cheap and easily forgotten.
That wasn’t long ago.

Things are so screwed up, it’s going to take years to straighten it out....if we live through the next attack.
Slam all you want, dorkface.
No one listens, or cares about anything coming out of your lie-hole.
Slammed them with what, squirted silly string on them?
Finally a notable outcome directly resulting from Hillary’s SOS tenure.
Oh he’s right about the outside interference all right. It started a few years back.
Seriously, these guys need to shut their mouths. They have already made a mockery of themselves around the world. No one cares to hear them any longer.
Outside interference? Bwa ha ha ha ha... bwa ha ha ha...
What a practical joker Master Obama is.
Barack, sit back down and shut up, or I’m sending you to the principal’s office.
Nine year olds? What’s a person to do?
He can't do anything to intercede on behalf of his Muslim Brotherhood allies and he can't stop anyone else from attacking them.
He has burned his bridges with every Middle East country except Qatar which is driving the terror offensive in the region.
I feel like i am living in a lunatic asylum.
THIS is hope and change?
Thanks a lot MOONBATS!
Next time STAY HOME.
jeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzz...............
Oh oh! The Democrats must not have gotten all of Qadaffi’s gold out of Libya.
seriously?
Is Obama ever right about anything??
Chutzpah, thy namesake is Barack Obama.
Guess Obama’s gonna have to get out his pen and phone and issue some executive orders to Egypt and the UAE.
Screw you, Obama.
Shit get's done while you play golf all the time instead of doing your job!
Someone has to clean up the mess you made of Libya, 0bunghole.
The problem is that our Government actually supports the Muslim Brotherhood (sworn enemies of America). The reason for the whine is not the outside interference, it is because the Muslim terrorists are being attacked (granted, by other Muslims - but the present Egyptian brand seems to be a lot saner than most).
WE should applaud then for doing work without needing our help.
Egypt can have all of North Africa for all I care.
