Foreign Policy: Clinton does not feel the sorrow of the situation, which reached Libya
April 17, 2016
Foreign Policy magazine published a report talked about Hillary Clinton’s position, Who served as US secretary of state in 2009, the administration of Barack Obama, the international intervention in Libya, so that Republicans see it as the main reason for the proliferation of state regulation in the Middle East.
The magazine said in this report , which translated ” Arabic 21 ,” The Republicans, with the general election approaching, playing paper the situation in Libya, to attack their opponents from the Democratic front – runner, namely Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
According to the magazine, in its dialogue it had with the aide and adviser to Hillary Clinton, the secretary prepared a court defense plan in her campaign, and most of them said that Hillary Clinton does not see the US intervention in Libya, in accordance with a failure, on the contrary, see the project progressing.
Hillary’s advisers have said that the lesson I learned from the intervention in Libya is and must fulfill its obligations the United States in the Middle East, which is capable of persuading the public argument, and sees it as a clear vision of the policy of State Hillary Clinton in the future.
The magazine felt that Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, during her campaign, did not shy from defending its decision to support military intervention in Libya, an intervention that toppled dictator Muammar Gaddafi, said plainly: “I think that President Barack Obama has taken the right decision at the time.”
This statement was issued in the first Democratic debate in October / October 2012 in the Assembly elections. But this was before the death of US Ambassador Chris Steven, before plunging the country into the quagmire of civil war.
The magazine said the search for Hillary Clinton’s position today, years after her departure from the State Department, will determine its future in the Middle East that reached the White House.
The magazine quoted one adviser to Hillary as saying: “The Republicans will seek to prove that the chaos now in Libya caused by the secretary of state decisions,” he said, adding: “But the minister is confident of itself … People will see that the decisions and leadership helped to protect us from a scenario similar to Syria today.”
The magazine pointed to the question posed by the latter part of the adviser permit, which is: Is Clinton’s advisers believe that he was on Obama to intervene in Syria? Which will not answer him to their inability to identify the differences between the two cases.
The magazine also noted inconsistencies in statements between Obama and Clinton about the repercussions of the US intervention in Libya, not only in the diagnosis of errors, but also in the visions about America’s capabilities. Barack Obama has hinted three times regretted the bad situation experienced by Libya now.
In an interview with Fox News Channel last Sunday, Barack Obama said that intervention in Libya “was the right thing to do,” but the worst mistake he has done is not to prepare for after the fall of Gaddafi, he said in an interview with the magazine “Atlantic” “There is room for criticism “on the subject of international intervention, he also said” that he has full confidence in the EU’s ability to restore stability to Libya. ”
Many former officials at the Foreign Ministry also refuses to underestimate the international support provided to Libya after Gaddafi. This was confirmed by Jake Sullivan, Deputy Chief of Staff of the State Department in the Clinton era and the first chancellor in her campaign now, where he said that the overall diplomats felt that the overall objectives have been achieved immediately after the fall of Gaddafi.
He pointed out Hillary Clinton’s advisers to other important reasons have contributed to the aggravation of the situation in Libya, most notably the rejection of the Libyans to the presence of foreign forces on their land, in addition to the negative political fallout for after the attack on the US embassy in Benghazi.
The magazine quoted Derek Collett, another adviser to Hillary Clinton, who served as vice president of policy planning center under the supervision of Clinton until the year 2011, saying: “What happened in Benghazi spent on modest tools owned by America in Libya.”
As Colette said: “After the September / September 2012, it became impossible to maintain the simple that we are making progress, we have made great Efforts have become a mirage in moments.”
The magazine reported that the Benghazi attack came two months after the parliamentary elections and after the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting in which stabilized the situation in the Muslim countries. It was scheduled in September / beginning of September to work on the formulation of new policies and reforms to help install the rule. It was supposed to be the work of US Ambassador John Christopher Steven will be in this context.
The magazine felt that the lack of US troops on the ground will not be enough to take decisions or political directives to avoid Libya more chaos and collapse, and this is the dilemma perceived by Hillary Clinton, and expressed its regret for its location.
Where he called for the resumption of work on the Libyan file, and considering what happened in Benghazi, a necessary evil, and that the Americans should be aware that the risks and murder is part of the diplomatic labor costs in order to promote America’s interests abroad.
In conclusion, the magazine asked about the possibility of Clinton continue to defend its position on intervention in Libya, if we know that international intervention will promote chaos and would embolden state regulation in Libya.
