Terrorists hijack Libyan revolution
2013-10-19
[MAGHAREBIA] Two years after Moamer Qadaffy's overthrow, forces of Evil roam the streets and desert of Libya as they try to build an Islamic emirate and promote their long-held hard-line ideology.

The country has seen a series of escalating attacks, bombings and liquidations in recent months. Earlier this month, 17 soldiers were killed on the road between Tarhuna and Bani Walid in a single incident.

In Benghazi, the daily bloodshed did not stop, even for Eid al-Adha. Two soldiers were slain on Tuesday (October 15th), according to Libya Herald. In a separate Eid attack, a kaboom blew out the windows of the Marwa Hospital.

#1  How did it fail?

The Hens of War (Hillary, Valerie, Susan) sed Qadaffy had to go, that the US had a Responsibility To Protect. 'R2P' became the new buzzword.

The media sed Arab Spring wuz in the air! Surely that counted for something.

NATO got involved. Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Norway, Qatar and Spain all cheered and milled around importantly on the sidelines. The Brits, the French, the Canadians (but not the French Canadians) were with us on the field.

The UN passed a resolution. State even sent an ambassador beloved by the militias afterwards.

I'm shocked, utterly shocked, that things have turned out the way they have.
