19. Perhaps it's for sparking the jihadi mess in North Africa

The Libyan intervention was a cynical resources grab by the U.S., France and the U.K., and she was one of the prime movers behind it, along with Susan Rice and Samantha Power. Gates was against it, and it seems like Obama was more than just nudged.

Personally, I say that this administration is completely responsible for the blood in Mali and Algeria, as well as the ongoing mess in Libya. The munitions that have been loosed on the world from Qaddafi's armories will be an ongoing problem just by themselves.

It was, and still is, a very sad thing that an act of such brazen illegality was allowed to happen, and every death, maiming and loss of family to the survivors is the fault of this administration.
