Gen. Mike Flynn: Why Hillary's record on Libya is even worse than you think
Fox News ^ | 6 Oct, 2016 | Michael Flynn

Posted on 10/07/2016 9:35:51 PM PDT by MtnClimber

But new evidence -- and a review of the public record -- reveals that Hillary Clinton’s actions in Libya were not just disastrous policy, but a violation of U.S. anti-terrorism law.

A recent report to the Foreign Affairs Committee of the British House of Commons concluded that Western intervention in Libya was based on "inaccurate intelligence" and "erroneous assumptions." Advocates failed to recognize that “the threat to civilians was overstated and that the rebels included a significant Islamist element," and the failure to plan for a post-Qaddafi Libya led to the "growth of ISIL" in North Africa.

However, “inaccurate intelligence” doesn’t fully describe the whole story. A closer examination of the run-up to the Libya debacle on September 11, 2012 leads to the irrefutable conclusion that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knowingly armed radical Islamist terrorists in Libya.

False pretenses

The American public was told that the intervention in Libya was necessary to prevent a humanitarian crisis. But just as Hillary Clinton would describe the attack on our Benghazi diplomats as a spontaneous protest over a video, the military intervention that led inexorably to the debacle in Benghazi was sold on false pretenses.....

Hillary Clinton described the 2011 Arab Spring rebellion in eastern Libya as a spontaneous pro-democracy uprising, but the Libyan connection to radical Islamic extremist groups was well known long before 2011.

The region where the rebellion began was a fervid recruiting ground for jihadis who killed American forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The leaders of the “civilian uprising” that Hillary Clinton supported were members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) who had pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda. They refused to take orders from non-Islamist commanders and assassinated the then leader of the rebel army, Abdel Fattah Younes.

Probabbly not a mistake. The left instinctively sides with evil.

Is this the kind of president we need?

Conservatives better wake up and smell the coffee — by attacking Trump, they are helping Hillary become president of the US.

And Hillary was rounding up weapons in Lybia and running them to rebels in Syria that turned out to be ISIS. They call them ISIL for future deniability. The Lybian rebels did not want to be forced to give up the arms and attacked the collection point in Benghazi. Hillary orchestrated this and knew the attack was not because of a video.

I used to feel sorry for hillary because of bill’s behavior. Now I think I feel more sorry for bill, but not too much since he is scum too.

No. It was very coldly calculated.

It wasn’t some blunder by some goody-twoshoes.

It was to get The wealth of Qadaffi and Libya.

Soros was behind it with his shills Hillary and Obama.

Hillary’s chief focus as Sect of State was to prepare to run for the Presidency.

She examined Bill’s record on foreign policy when he was Prez and felt that his one huge error was doing nothing for Rwanda.

Hillary envisioned her run and could easily foresee a critic asking, “Hillary, what did you do to prevent a Libyan massacre..?” She wanted her response to include all kinds of examples of Hillary Being a Proactive Super Whiz.

She equated the two examples provided by Rwanda and Libya, erroneously, I believe.

When Libya threatened to return to an innovative, non-dollar Gold Standard and her old friend Sidney Blumenthal stood to profit via US intervention in Libya, Hillary saw a “Three-For-One”.

1. Shore up her resume
2. Enrich her friends
3. Bolster international support for the US dollar

The choice was easy; she decided to destroy Khaddafi and unleashed her own private, pop-up CIA.

Arguably Khaddafi improved hugely after Reagan bombed him. He was Our Dirty Ally in our (mostly fake) War on Terror.

You can lay the disaster that is today’s Libya squarely at Hillary’s feet —that is her baby and her baby only.

...irrefutable conclusion that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knowingly armed radical Islamist terrorists in Libya.

It's probably even worse than that. Benghazi seems to be like "Ron Brown's airplane" where in this case, ALL 40 staffers were sentenced to a pre-arranged death by Clinton Podesta and co-conspirators. Possibly because the Benghazi staff had been doing illegal weapons-running in the region and knew too much.

In this Wiki-leaks Podesta email number 7243 ...

-Hillary seemed upset that someone attacked the Islamist fighters in Tripoli, and she wanted Podesta to find out who that was, so they can be taken out in the future.

Also, any idea whose fighters attacked Islamist positions in Tripoli, Libya? Worth analyzing for future purposes.
-Hillary was surprised and perturbed, and felt Podesta would be too, that two unexpected Navy jets appeared overhead as 36 Benghazi staffers managed to successfully escape with the help of Libyan 'moderate government forces'. (the evacuation was no thanks to USA at all, it seems). The jets overhead, caused the Islamist fighters attacking our people to stop fighting for hours! Hillary sounds upset about that.
A source in Tripoli stated in confidence that when the U.S. Embassy was evacuated, the presence of two U.S. Navy jet fighters over the city brought all fighting to a halt for several hours, as Islamist forces were not certain that these aircraft would not also provide close ground support for moderate government forces.
-Hillary learned from Rahm Emanual, and she called the tragic events in the middle east "an opportunity"
-Hillary hoped for further chaos within Syria so that the US would have a better "opportunity" to overthrow the government there too.

It doesn’t matter one way or other so long as the MSMLSD controls what is reported.

They are a team, feel no sorrow for either.

Grifters play on any perceived emotion.

While I will go through the substance, in a bit, I want to thank you for linking to the actual wiki-leaks document, and then pointing out the salient points in it that you are relying on for your point, and telling me what point you are trying to make.

This is even a bigger point than the point you are addressing. We are in a nuclear war of words, and it is time that we began wielding our weapons effectively.

I’m a “crazy conspiracy theorist”, which means I was able to figure this out three years before top generals were.

Now I want to add to the points you are making regarding Podesta email number 7243

What is even more astonishing is that Hrod is discussing on an unclassified system,the State Department's official assessment of the situation in the ME based upon " "Sources includ[ing] Western intelligence, US intelligence and sources in the region"

Another example of how dangerous Illiarily is Americans and others through the world.

If Illiarily Clintoon is elected, we can kiss our families, friends and nation goodbye.

There is only one relevant alternative!

Then, President Trump can put her and her serial rapist husband, and her thugs in jail to wait for trial.

Thanks to Procon!

You tube video showing Ambassador in the hands of the Clinton/Obama allies.

Warning very graphic!

:" A source in Tripoli stated in confidence that when the U.S. Embassy was evacuated, the presence of two U.S. Navy jet fighters over the city
brought all fighting to a halt for several hours,
as Islamist forces were not certain that these aircraft would not also provide close ground support for moderate government forces."

Given that there was an (allegedly unarmed (?))observation drone overhead as stated by the State Dept. that they could follow "in almost real time",
why was there any hesitation in sending armed reinforcements to assist the Benghazi sub-counsel/ safe house, especially since they could se a lull in the fighting ?
Also, why has there been no discussion regarding questioning the 36 State Dept. employees/ CIA who were also trapped at Benghazi ?
One of those employees was injured, and was medically treated at Mannheim Germany, and while there was treated under a false identity by the State Department. Why ?
Given the prior history of the Clinton Foundation of "Pay for Play", was not the State Department acting as the personal delivery agent of the Clinton Foundation/State/CIA ?
Maybe future Wikileaks will answer some of the questions in an indirect manner by the actual participants .

What is this BS you are peddling? When I read the email I see absolutely nothing to substantiate your bolded text “...so they can be taken out in the future.” If you are going to post comments and link to content, try to be honest in doing so.

And the Left is still insistent that electing President Trump is going to send us into wars while electing President Hillary is the path to peace and no wars.
