| Will a Rogue General Undo Obama's Regime Change in Libya? |
| 2014-05-25 |
| It didn't take Egypt very long to revert back to a military oligarchy with elections. That oligarchy wasn't brought back by an armed coup in the dead of night, but by popular protests. The Arab Spring was trumpeted by liberals as a new era in the history of the Middle East. But the Middle East is better at undoing history than the media is at writing it. In Egypt, General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi brushed away the effects of the Arab Spring. Now in Libya, General Khalifa Hifter is set to undo Obama's military intervention which put the Muslim Brotherhood on the road to taking over Libya, as they had taken over Egypt. ...Hifter, who has spent a long time living in the United States, claims to have American support, but his real support probably comes from the east. |

| #4 ...maybe. Scroll down to read about McConnell. The non-opposition party can still grasp defeat from the jaws of victory by simply being the Me-Too Party. I guess it may be a race to see who can do the greatest disincentives in keeping their base home. |
