I'll never forget looking at that situation and wondering what the fuck we were doing. I remember Putin losing his mind saying "If they aren't there to get Gaddafi, why are they bombing his palaces?" and he was right
I wouldn't call it a mistake. Gaddafi was trying to get Libya away from the petrodollar and onto a gold standard. Our strength comes from oil being traded with our currency and if we let him do it, others would've too.

Having Gaddafi murdered was the biggest foreign policy mistake the US has made since the Iraq War
Getting bayoneted in your ass is the gift he received for giving up his nuclear program and helping the west to fight terrorism
And yet we wonder why North Korea is not giving their shit up at any cost

Worst part is Gaddafi was telling the world that Al Qeada were the ones who were rallying in Libya to get rid of him.

No, they were moderate headchoppers handing out moderate executions

He was magical. Like a middle eastern Michael Jackson.
