Obama and Hillary Clinton, when Secretary of State, left the Middle East a disaster by not listening to military commanders and advisors and pulled out of Iraq leaving a void after thousands of our military troops’ lives, or were maimed taking over Iraq that wasn’t vital to U.S. national interests and without a clear military plan.

Eventually Al-Qaeda factions formed ISIS, infiltrating Iraq, and no one stopped them until they had a stranglehold causing chaos. Afghanistan time limit left us to loose ends again.

Before Gadhafi was cooperating with U.S., helping round up stockpiles of chemical weapons, Westerners were returning to invest in oil and gas. Gadhafi had a stranglehold on the Islamists and provided the U.S. intelligence information to track terrorist cells throughout the region.

In February 2011, Libyan government faced an uprising, Obama gave Gadhafi days, not weeks, to end the threat. Obama’s foreign affairs trio, Hillary Clinton of state, Samantha Power NSC staffer and Susan Rice, UN ambassador, persuaded Obama to order bombings that turned Libya into a terrorist state and the good that was happening was thrown away and that instability played out on Sept. 11, 2012, with Benghazi, killing ambassador Chris Stevens plus three other Americans.

Egypt Murbark was ousted with help of Hillary Clinton, who sent diplomats to Cairo to help Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood take power. That didn’t work out either when the people rose up against Morsi.

While bombs were dropping over Tripoli, Libya, Hillary Clinton of State praised Syrian President Assad as a reformer until he started killing his own people. Clinton, then Kerry, can’t judge peoples’ character, that civil war is ongoing today.

Obama tried using the red line against Assad, who then used chemical weapons against his people.

There’s no end to this quagmire.
