Not the point, he wasn't in power and she was. She was responsible for the present clusterfuck and I have never seen even one ounce of contrition from her. I supported ridding the world of Gaddafi but fully expected a peacekeeping force with a robust mandate to be put in place after he was ousted. I never expected that everybody would just walk away and leave the poor bastards to their fate.Trump is on the record for supporting that intervention. I was against the intervention but still, Gaddafi was not a good guy, he was an abusive dictator who was able to snow a lot of people who didn't look too deeply into him. reagan ordered airstrikes on Benghazi and Tripoli but the cons won't touch St. ronnie.
"Early in 2011, before the United States joined a NATO force to oust Gadhafi, Trump argued for American action. We know what Trump thought back then thanks to a video on Trump’s own video blog (credit to BuzzFeed for spotting it). "I can’t believe what our country is doing," Trump said, according to the BuzzFeed transcript. "Gadhafi in Libya is killing thousands of people, nobody knows how bad it is, and we’re sitting around. We have soldiers all over the Middle East, and we’re not bringing them in to stop this horrible carnage and that’s what it is: It’s a carnage."
Trump continued.
"You talk about things that have happened in history; this could be one of the worst," he said. "Now we should go in, we should stop this guy, which would be very easy and very quick. We could do it surgically, stop him from doing it, and save these lives. This is absolutely nuts. We don’t want to get involved and you’re gonna end up with something like you’ve never seen before."
And then ...
"But we have go in to save these lives; these people are being slaughtered like animals," Trump said. "It’s horrible what’s going on; it has to be stopped. We should do on a humanitarian basis, immediately go into Libya, knock this guy out very quickly, very surgically, very effectively, and save the lives."
