WikiLeaks Reveals Team Hillary’s Libya Spin: It Would Be Syria Without Clinton’s War
Daily Beast ^ | 01 November 2016 | Betsy Woodruff, Nancy A. Youssef

New emails from John Podesta show talking points circulated during her marathon Benghazi testimony to defend the war and blame the victims for not embracing the U.S. more. ___ In the lead-up to Hillary Clinton’s marathon testimony before Congress on Benghazi in October 2015, her presidential campaign prepared to make some eye-popping claims—including that Libya would have turned into Syria without U.S. intervention.

That’s according to an internal talking-point memo released in Tuesday’s dump of WikiLeaks emails. WikiLeaks says those emails were hacked from the inbox of Clinton campaign Chairman John Podesta. The Clinton campaign is not commenting on whether or not the emails are doctored, and blames the Russian government for the hack.

The memo was sent to Podesta by his assistant, Milia Fisher, on Oct. 21, 2015. That was one day before Clinton’s testimony in front of the House Select Committee on Benghazi.

“Had we opted for inaction, we would have been rebuffing our allies and turning our back on the Libyan people in the face of a murderous dictator,” read one talking point in the document that Fisher sent Podesta. “The truth is that if we hadn’t acted, Libya would look something like what Syria looks like today. So is the unrest in Libya concerning? Of course. Is it better than the alternative? Absolutely.”

> that Libya would have turned into Syria without U.S. intervention.

I can believe it. Without getting explicit permission to send the military in, she would have done the same thing she did to Syria instead.

I guess it depends on which side of the Allah coin you polish. Always the other side are infidels, and you get paradise points on how horribly you can make them die.

Last count I read, there were 288 infidel groups, and one true Islam, that they all claim. And then are the kafir.

All 289 groups get free points there.

This is interesting... try the referenced website: http://www.brighteningglance.org/criminal-complaint-international-criminal-court-6-october-2014.html EDIT: nm. Not sure about this fellow... but interesting quote, anyway:

The United States and Great Britain intelligence services obtained the weapons through front companies and organized the transfer operation. Great Britain’s intelligence service, MI6, was a cover to enable the CIA to call the “intelligence” relationship a “liaison” which somehow avoided the requirement to report an illicit operation like this to the US Congress.

EDIT: more from that website. I'd ignore, except that it possibly ties into Benghazi, SoS Clinton. Is the Foundation making money on it somehow?

The US Is Openly Sending Heavy Weapons From Libya To Syrian Rebels Business Insider, GEOFFREY INGERSOLL AND MICHAEL B KELLEY December 9, 2012

http://www.businessinsider.com/obama-admin-admits-to-covertly-sending-heavy-weapons-to-syrian-rebels-2012- 12  The Obama administration has decided to launch a covert operation to send heavy weapons to Syrian rebels, Christina Lamb of The Sunday Times of London reports. Diplomatic sources told the Sunday Times that the U.S. "bought weapons from the stockpiles of Libya's former dictator Muammar Gaddafi." The heavy arms include mortars, rocket propelled grenades, anti-tank missiles and the controversial anti-aircraft heat-seeking SA-7 missiles, which are integral to countering Bashar Al-Assad's bombing campaign.  The administration has said that the previously hidden CIA operation in Benghazi involved finding, repurchasing and destroying heavy weaponry looted from Libyan government arsenals, but in October we reported evidence indicating that U.S. agents — particularly murdered ambassador Chris Stevens — were at least aware of heavy weapons moving from Libya to jihadist Syrian rebels. 

On Sept. 6 a Libyan ship carrying 400 tons of weapons for Syrian rebels docked in southern Turkey. The ship's captain was "a Libyan from Benghazi" who worked for the new Libyan government.

> “Milia Fisher”

The Clinton A-Hole group has a lot of morons including Hillary sycophants who have sh*t for brains operating on ‘strong woman’ hormones while insulting rational people with despicable arrogance.

The result is reckless abandon.

It's hard to get a good shine on any end of a polished turd.

As far as I knew while Qaddafi was good at spreading misery abroad (Munich Olympics, ect) he was no Assad in regards to his own people.
