American soldiers tracked him down and pulled him out of the hole where he was hiding, and turned him over to the Iraqi's for execution.


Yes, and the Iraqi's found him guilty and executed him. You stated that the U.S. killed him.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

We let the Iraqi's do the dirty work.

We did the same in Libya.

Under Ghadaffi, Libya was Africa’s wealthiest nation. GDP and life expectancy was the highest on the continent. Less Libyans lived below the poverty line than in the Netherlands. They had free healthcare, free education, free electricity, interest free loans, and housing for all.

Ghadaffi was behaving himself. He gave up his nuclear ambitions and was preventing migrants from reaching Europe.

Then, America’s dirtbag Nobel Peace Prize winner, decided he had to go.

Today, they sell slaves in the Libyan markets, and Europe is seeing an Islamic invasion.

Rumor is he did it because his wife did not want their kids to see the same end as Saddam's kids. True or not he did settle down.

You keep shifting the county.
In Iraq Saddam was hung by their criminal justice system (I am against the death penalty), but it was their decision.

In Libya, we barely were involved, if we were more involved it probably would be more stable (the Civil War is still ongoing, with somewhat of a ceasefire finally signed this summer so we will see).

People do not realize how complicated the Middle East is. Whatever action is taken, there will be massive negative consequences. There are lots of overlapping religious sects and tribes. Anytime we get involved at any level we make new enemies and lose old friends. Sometimes there are just no good decisions. That is when people need to make hard choices and make the best decision.

I am not a big fan of Clinton, but I don't see the issue with that quote.

Many to chose from. The US started all those ‘civil wars’ and destroyed the lives of millions of people. Thanks to Obama, Russia now owns Crimea and has two permanent military bases in Syria. Trump was the first person to call them ‘never ending wars’, and now Biden is using the term. No doubt his solution is going to be sending in more troops.

"Before US-NATO Invasion, Libya Had The Highest
Human Development Index , The Lowest Infant Mortality,
The Highest Life Expectancy In All Of Africa"

"How and why the U.S. Government Perpetrated the 2014 Coup in Ukraine"

"In 2011, a civil war broke out in Syria. WikiLeaks reported that the U.S. government had been covertly funding Syrian opposition groups since 2006..."

That was interesting. Which Republicans were shouting that info of how great Libyans had it under Gaddafi from the rooftops? If none, print it out and tell the right to wipe their ass with it. They did nothing on that basis.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

This may be the first time I have seen a Con reference "Counter Currents" as a source lol.....

But, in seriousness, you have to realize that in those sorts of countries those statistic are controlled by the government.
For example the source in the article you cite is :
http://davidrothscum.blogspot.com/2011/02/world-cheers-as-cia-plunges-libya-into.html
(which is apparently no longer available).
But, its a safe assumption the data was provided by the government at the time.


As for Syria, blaming it on Obama? The bases were vacated by Trump. Trump foolishly pulled the troops out. Russia has the bases now. Did you read your own link?
"The move comes after US President Donald Trump abruptly ordered the withdrawal of US troops from parts of Syria last month. "

I have long been pointing out the dangers of Trump pulling out of such countries, and this is exactly why....

Trump is the one closing down our bases and limiting our global presence. Blaming this on Obama is insane.....

Trump also has been toying with the idea of pulling out of Korea which would be beyond insane. Trump is one of the weakest leaders in modern history.

Good for Russia. Let them expend their blood and treasure in that hole of a nation.

Russia is invited by the legitimate government of Syria to be there. Russia has had their naval base at Tartus for over 50 years, it is none of our concern that those two sovereign country's want to do business.

The US however has invaded Syria illegally, to keep its permanent war going, wasting munitions on one of the last country's that celebrate Christmas. This according to the UN is an illegal invasion.

All this is doing is making China stronger, making allies with Russia, and weakening our position in MENA, meanwhile destroying the dollar as world reserve currency.
The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW
