With all of the handwringing about a terror attack in Lybia, it is worth reminding people that Osama Bin Laden was not the only terrorist leader who was killed by the Obama administration -- directly or indirectly.
While I admit that I was always reflexively skeptical about claims that Libya's leader Muammar Gadaffi was responsible for the terrorist attack on Pan Am Flight 103 which killed 270 innocent civilians, in 2003 Gadaffi admitted that the Lybian government was behind the attack although denied that he gave the orders -- a difficult thing to believe in a country as controlled as Lybia was. During the revolution, defecting intelligence officers confirmed that Gadaffi did in fact give the order as a retaliation for a whole host of conflicts between Lybia and the United States involving the Gulf if Sidra
Gadaffi also allegedly ordered the bombing of a Berlin nightclub and and the attack on Pan Am flight 73 (which killed 23 people) as part of his war against the US and its interests.
The Bush administration normalized relations with Gadaffi in order to get oil concessions, never mind that Gadaffi was a terrorist leader in ways that Saddam never dreamed of being.
Obama had Gadaffi killed.
This is not a very good diary because I have to run (dealing with burgler issues) but it needs to be said, and said better by somebody who knows how to embed pictures. This puts Bengazi into context.
