Hillary Clinton’s desire to have a foreign policy success for her 2016 presidential campaign has made the world a more dangerous place.
The Clinton-run State Department’s failure to plan means the overthrow of Libyan president Moammar Qaddafi has sent the country into turmoil and created a haven for terrorists, the department now admits.
“After the intervention in 2011 … I think we’ve all seen that Libya has struggled since 2011,” says State Department spokesman John Kirby.
“We know that groups like ISIL try to use ungoverned spaces there, as they have in Syria, to try to propagate their own twisted form of ideology and violence,” he said. “There is a concerted effort by the international community to do what they can, to do what we must, to try to get at better security and stability there in Libya.”
Despite the worldwide consensus that the U.S.-led invasion of Libya, championed by a legacy-seeking Clinton, has been a victory for terrorism, Clinton insists on using the adventure in her campaign.
