We didn't know that at the time. It was all happening at once.

Lol, of course we knew. You don't have to cover for this administration now. Donald Trump is a racist bigot soviet spy who hates women and animals and will bankrupt America like he bankrupted his companies. He's not getting elected, so this is just Inside Baseball stuff we're talking here.

Even the most jerkoff of corporations do models and analytics before engaging in a marketing campaign and a product roll-out.

We financed the Ayrab Spring through the Saudis and their peace-loving Wahhabism to put pressure on

The American people are stupid, even ISIS knows this. They're too divided by identity politics (sectarian violence lolerskates) to understand the geopolitical chess board.

I'd imagine our intelligence services feel like they are playing GTA on cheat codes right now. It's probably why the Trump Train is getting fed certain shyt, cause fake rogue elements in our govt are just trying to reintroduce some semblance of difficulty in this shyt.

The sheep are damn near retarded by now.

I don't doubt Trump getting fed fake briefings, but there weren't enough data points to know that disposing all those leaders at once was a bad idea.

Thats never happened before. You know this is true.

Everyone wants to be on some "I told you so" shyt, but we really had no idea.

Breh, if they had no idea that's even worse :heh:

This is supposed to be the most advanced, sophisticated intelligence apparatus the world has ever seen and they can't predict a shytstorm would ensue after forcibly deposing these despots who have been suppressing extremist factions in their countries? :mjlol:

This is actually a really good question.
The major fear was that Qaddafi was going to behave in the same way al-Assad is now, a violent crackdown, followed by massacres, followed by a log-and drawn out Civil War and a refugee crisis that would only help in crippling Libya's North African neighbors' good will and a flood of Libyans in to Southern Europe.
It was poorly calculated, and the mission by the US took far too long, predicting the strength and brutality of ISIS and it's affiliated groups was something that was impossible without the power to predict the future.
Its considered a foreign policy disaster simply because it didn't pan out like we'd hoped and the region is (and was already going to be) a mess.

the only good thing about it is that it wasn't an expensive disaster in terms of american blood and treasure. the destruction of libya was happening during the civil war and would have happened anyway and we should have let them fight a civil war without our air support and tell the french and british to fall back because this isn't our business (like we were originally planning to do). just mind ya business when it comes to middle east/north african dictators.

:stopitslime: @ this bullshyt

The US government got involved because the Arab Spring presented an opportunity to get rid of Gaddafi and Al-Assad...

They never gave a fukk about the Lybian and Syrian people...

and what exactly is wrong with Assad and Gaddafi behaving violently to put down a group of domestic terrorists that chose to oppose them violently? :what:

In Gaddafi's case the opposition was a minority, the majority of his people actually liked the guy and for good reason...Lybia wasn't some oppressed backwards shythole like Afghanistan...Public education in the country was free and medical care was available to the public at no cost...Under Gaddafi, per capita income in the country rose to more than US$11,000, the fifth highest in Africa...The majority of his people, were living good, just look at pictures of Lybia before the war...



So what was Gaddafi supposed to do when this minority opposition tried to divide his country with violence? Tuck his tail between his legs and give into terrorist demands?:what:

I've never juggled three chainsaws before but I know it's not a good idea.

Unless my goal all along has been to "unexpectedly" cut myself with a chainsaw.

Y'all still buying this narrative that the US had issues with Libya because of anything other than Gaddafi trying to unite Africans/Blacks economically?
