A Thought on the Democratic Debates………
I didn't catch them all, I had to shuttle the Sharon* and Charlie to rehearsal, but I caught a lot of it.
In the foreign policy portion, Clinton spent a lot of time touting her foreign policy bona fides.
Sanders went back to her history, specifically her vote in favor of the Iraq war.
What he did not discuss, and he should have brought up, was her bloodthirsty blunder on Libya, where she was later (in)famously quoted as saying of Qaddafi, "We came, we saw, he died."
As a result of the overthrow of that government, we now have a country where Libyans are fleeing the country in droves, its educational and healthcare systems demolished, its economy a mess, ongoing genocide against black Africans, and the rise of ISIS/ISIL/Daesh/Whatever in the country.
Also, the overthrow of Qadaffi led directly to the death of ambassador Christopher Stephens in Benghazi.
And yet she continues to brag about overthrowing Libya.
This is not an indication of foreign policy prowess, this is an indication of thoughtlessness and incompetence.
*Love of my life, light of the cosmos, she who must be obeyed, my wife.
