By 2005, Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi had dismantled his WMD program and was lauded by the international community as a model for nuclear disarmament.
Leaked cables showed improving relations between the Libya and the United States.
But in 2011, hoping to brandish his foreign policy credentials for an eventual presidential run, Marco Rubio became one of the most vocal supporters of Hillary Clinton's War on Libya...
If we believe that the rise of this new attitude among young people and others seeking a new life and a new way in the Middle East is a positive thing, and I believe that it is, then it serves our national interest to see that happen.
Following the murder of Gaddafi, Marco Rubio, John McCain, and Lindsey Graham celebrated with their radical Islamic allies... The victory lap was short-lived, as the Clinton-Rubio Doctrine ushered in a wave of unprecedented violence, terror, and mass rape...
Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper said during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Thursday on worldwide threats that Libya is the most worrisome of all the countries in the greater Middle East...Libya plunged into chaos after rebels and militias overthrew longtime strongman Muammar Gaddafi.
...
"There are, in addition to ISIL, probably six or eight other terrorist groups that have gathered in Libya...so it's a magnet because, essentially, it's ungoverned."
Syria
Rubio then set his sights on secular US ally Bashar al-Assad of Syria... This, even after ISIS "freedom fighters" were seen on video eating the still-beating human hearts of their enemies...
Sen. Marco Rubio set aside his normal objection to short-term funding deals and joined Sen. Bill Nelson and a majority of others in approving a spending package that will arm and train Syrian rebels. Ultimately, overwhelming public opposition derailed Rubio's designs on Syria.
Had the Clinton-Rubio Doctrine been fully implemented, ISIS (or some variation thereof), would control Libya, Syria, and much of Iraq- drawing the region and into an apocalyptic world war fought with WMD.
Knowing what he knows now: Would Marco Rubio still help Islamic radicals overthrow secular US allies?
Rubio is the candidate and creation of Grover Norquist, who never met a radical Muslim he didn't love and try to get on our soil and Cesar Conda, K St. immigration lawyer/lobbyist who put Rubio in office along with Paul Ryan.
Yes, because he’s an idiot who has fallen under the tutelage of an even bigger idiot, John McCain.
Rubio made trips with McCain to meet with Syrian jihadis before they became ISIS.
Add to that, he wants to amnesty all the illegal aliens, including the jihadis that have already snuck in, and you have a huge disaster if he should be elected.
Yall will have to commit national suicide without my vote if you nominate Mario Rubco
He’ll do as he’s told.
That’s what makes him such a good establishment candidate.
“Rubio made trips with McCain to meet with Syrian jihadis before they became ISIS.”
Yes, this article talks about Rubio’s support for the Syrian jihadis. Nice mess we have now, huh. And some keep talking about Rubio’s ‘foreign policy’ smarts...oh, my!
Wasn’t Kaddafi’s son on a State Dept tour of the US when we started bombing Libya? That was really Hillary’s show and then she did a jig on his grave. She owns Libya and Bengazi.
I just don’t understand some of our fellow Americans sometimes
FYI
Follow the $$$
I word we all have to be familiar with—*hijira*. It refers to the migration of Mohammed and his followers to the city of Medina where they turned to violence instead of speech to win converts.
“That was really Hillary’s show and then she did a jig on his grave. She owns Libya and Bengazi.”
With the help of Rubio, McCain, and Graham. Pretty sad when Hillary has the same foreign policy mayhem as wonder anchorbaby Rubio.
I think Americans have to learn the difference between supporting true national defense and the *never met a war they didn’t like* crowd. We have to be much more discerning about how we deal with the Middle East. And we have to call out all those *patriots* who want to fight nonstop wars in the Middle East while allowing large numbers of Muslims into our country. This does not make sense. The problem stems from Islam—why are we letting them into our country? Any politician who can be shamed by words like *Islamophobe* does not deserve to be president.
Rubio seems to be positioning himself as the *moderate* candidate to appeal to all of those voters who do not want to leave their comfort zone. He is the comfort zone candidate.
Amen
If you were to ask HIM, he would charm you with five different answers.
Big mistake taking out Qadaffi. Just as it was taking out Saddam.
Agreed!
Marco Rubio excels in one thing and only one thing- memorizing speeches given to him by his donors. He is Obama. He will do whatever his donors tell him to do. He will work only for them. The tough job will be keeping them all happy at the same time when they have conflicts of interest, as in being a tea party champion while doing whatever chuck schumer tells him to do
Rush is right over 99% of the time. He might have to reexamine this
Rubio is a walking TelePrompTer without the savvy or maturity to pull off a real run for tge presidency. Hillary will now him down, not in a minute, but in a flash, and only when the time is right
He is now no longer tea party but GOPe and jebs replacement. He’s a bush without being a bush. He has no friends and no family in politics. He is a total puppet
Oh. Ok. There you go. My point
Rush sold out. So did Levin and Beck. His sponsors..open borders, pro TPP...mean more to him than we ever will.
