7 Years After Gadhafi's Ouster, Libya Remains Engulfed In Civil War

...

MARTIN: The Obama administration, of which you were a part, was loath to pursue any kind of unilateral action in Libya. Critics of President Obama like to say that he was leading from behind. In retrospect, which I realize it's always easier to judge - but in retrospect, do you think that was the right call? Was the U.S. approach in Libya the right one?

CROCKER: Well, when you look at the consequences, one could not, I think, reasonably say that it is the right outcome. This stuff is all very hard. I mean, I get it that we don't want to own another country. But if you're going to be involved in regime change, as we were at least tacitly, you better have a plan for the day after. We had no such plan. We were not leading from the front or from behind. Not to say that we should have, could have done anything radically different, but I don't think we asked ourselves the question - then what?

A pretty honest interview by an Obamaite.

I spent a month in Tripoli about 9 years ago and recall the country being a relatively nice place with great scenery and pleasant people.  No armed factions roaming or anything like that to make one appear uneasy.

Look what Obama and Hillary have wrought.

I think history will show we couldn't have picked a worst time in history to elect a Muslum as president.
