same thing about Libya, how we were going there to 'fight terror'. Not much of a fight, other than against ordinary people. The terrorists are now out of control there. After we got control of the oil we lost interest in 'protecting civilians' and we don't even bother to look at what is happening there.

I KNOW we will be saying the same thing, those of us who predicted the outcome in Libya and Iraq and Afghanstan, about Syria in a very short time. And people such as yourself will suddenly be silent. As are the enthusiastic supporters of Air strikes in Libya. Of course we had our 'proxy army' there on the ground, as Hillary calls them.
