I guess President Obama regretted giving Hillary and Samantha Power authorization to assist the French and Brits (?). You know, we can “lead from behind” — and overthrow Gaddafi.
Mentioning Samantha Power: Recall how she characterized Hillary Clinton when she was working on Obama’s 2008 campaign for the Dem nomination? “A monster!” She resigned from her position after that came out. Hmm. I wonder how that leaked out? Hillary have a mole in Barack’s campaign?
Kaus struggling to understand your enduring fascination w/ this video. One can argue the merits of various approaches to Mideast mess, but hard to shed tears for someone like Qaddafi. Lived as a barbarian, killed by his people barbarically. Sure this 11 second video is a bit off-taste, but you tweet it every day or so. You’ve never had such a moment? What are you, the PC police?
The serious policy issue with Libya and the overthrow of Gaddafi is the (apparent) total lack of planning before they jumped in. You know, maybe a little worst-case contingency planning: “What do we do after Gaddafi is gone?” I.e., the aftermath has been the real problem. And you can’t say there wasn’t any near-term precedent that should have warned them! Think Somalia in 1993; Rwanda in 1995; that aspirin factory in Sudan that Bill bombed; then (of course), Iraq twice, Afghanistan. Lots of precedence suggesting a little preplanning couldn’t hurt.
@kausmickey In between “we saw” and “he died”, the Clinton-backed rebels also sodomized Gaddafi w/a knife, but I guess it breaks the rhythm.
@kausmickey are you trying to say something to the trump campaign? @kellyannpolls

@kausmickey @YouTube I’m sure Hillary laughed about the other deaths on the #ClintonBodyCount being reported as “accidents” & “mysterous”.
@kausmickey @YouTube She is one sick broad!
