In fact the idea is the opposite. They say Obama brought democracy to Libya with his wonderful Arab Spring but ‘reactionary forces’ are afraid of ‘progressive’ stuff like Muslim Brotherhood and such and working hard to reinstall ‘tyranny’ just to make a point that US is up to no good and weak on top of it.
It seems that Ms. Estelle has a bad case of clientitis:
Emily Estelle is the research manager for the Critical Threats Project at the American Enterprise Institute. She is also a senior al Qaeda analyst and the Africa team lead. She studies the Salafi-jihadi movement in Africa, including al Qaeda, ISIS, and associated groups. She specializes in the Libya conflict and the Sahel. Ms. Estelle led a yearlong planning exercise to produce a recommended US strategy for Libya in 2017.
But you see, “reactionary forces” are liberal descriptions of anybody who opposed communists. Or radical Muslims.
Hillary destroyed that country. Opened its ports as a conduit to Europe.
