Khadafy should have been nicer to us. Same with Saddam. Paid the ultimate price.
Khadafy had made a deal with the Bush administration. He gave up his WMD programs, stopped supporting terrorists and cooperated with us against Al Qaeda. Then Obama and Hillary double crossed him and sided with the jihadis. If anything it proves once again that America is an unreliable ally. He would have done better allying with Putin.
“Khadafy should have been nicer to us. Same with Saddam. Paid the ultimate price.”
It’s literally impossible to have perfection. Khadafy & Saddam were are from being angels, but they did much to keep the region stable.
The multitudes of wars beginning with Bush’s Iraq/Afghanistan then on to obama/Clinton’s perpetual middle east warfest has killed thousand upon thousands of people, including precious US military people. Not to mention the waste of money. With regards to refugees, the west will be paying for this for centuries.
This waring BS has got to end. We are not the world peace keepers.
I have no idea what American foreign policy is anymore. I am not an isolationist by any stretch but now look back to even WWII and its aftermath stretching to today. What has been the cost in dollars: trillions? What has been the cost in blood: millions? What has the United States gained by never declaring war anymore? With congress and their thumbs you know where, Presidents, State Department, CIA, Senators etc run our military forces and defense policy into illogical conflict with no oversight. Meanwhile the Norks and Iran may eventually get lucky and incinerate an American city while we police the world.
