Newly Released Emails Confirm Clinton is to Blame for Libya Disaster
Clinton pushed and convinced Obama to destroy the Libyan government.
Now Libya is crawling with ISIS terrorists and there is a massive refugee crisis. Totally reckless and with complete disregard for the consequences. Mrs. Clinton practices all the worst tendencies of US foreign policy.
Bravo! Email Appears To Show Clintons Friend Congratulating Her on Bombing of Libya
The newly released email from Anne-Marie Slaughter belies Clintons attempts to distance herself from the military intervention
Hillary Clinton has spent much of her presidential campaign running away from her responsibility for the United States disastrous 2011 intervention in Libya. The February 19 release of more emails from her private server may make it harder for her to do so.
In an email with the subject bravo! sent on March 19, 2011the day the United States and its allies began bombing LibyaClinton confidant and former employee Anne-Marie Slaughter appears to praise then-Secretary of State Clinton for convincing a reluctant President Obama to take military action in Libya.
I cannot imagine how exhausted you must be after this week, but I have NEVER been prouder of having worked for you, writes Slaughter, who worked as an advisor to Clinton in the State Department from 2009 to February 3, 2011, and then remained a consultant to the policy planning bureau. Turning POTUS around on this is a major win for everything we have worked for. An earlier email release, which I reported on previously, showed that Slaughter had spent February 2011 imploring Clinton to involve the United States militarily in Libya, insisting that it would change the image of the United States overnight.
Keep your fingers crossed and pray for a soft landing for everyones sake, Clinton replies.
Other emails from earlier releases indicate that people close to Clinton gave her credit for the Libyan intervention. The day the UN Security Council approved a no-fly zone in Libya, Clintons unofficial adviser Sidney Blumenthal sent her an email saying: No-fly! Brava! You did it!
