Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton loudly defended her push for the 2011 NATO war of regime change in Libya last night, insisting “we didn’t lose a single person” in the conflict. Clinton was Secretary of State at the time, and a loud proponent of the war.
The war killed a large number of Libyans, of course, with the Vatican Ambassador confirming that at least 40 civilians were killed in NATO strikes in the Libyan capital of Tripoli.
The claim is even more galling, however, when one remembers that just a year later the US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in Benghazi. Clinton must be keenly aware of this, as she faced Congressional heat over the incident for the rest of her time at the State Department, and for years after.
While Clinton may ultimately be able to parse the statement as “technically true,” claiming the civilians killed weren’t Americans and the Americans killed were a bit after (albeit a direct consequence of) the war itself, the comment still appears wildly tone deaf.
Wait–WHAT???
And to think this individual has a strong chance of ending up in the White House…
Clearly she means that all of the dead were in committed romantic relationships. We didn’t lose a *single* person, see?
You have her nailed. That is exactly how she thinks.
I think the emphasis shouldn’t be upon “single”, but upon “we”. She and her inner circle are the only ones that count. American stooges doing her bidding and hapless Libyan civilians count for nothing with her.
Exactly. What is the definition of “we” to kommisarina Clinton? I imagine she has as much difficulty parsing that word as her equally dissembling husband had with the word “is”.
A total lack of empathy. A psychopath.
This woman is garbage.
She is an interesting liar .
I think we did not lose a single soldier in our good air war against Yugoslavia either . The Serbs civilians lost a lot of kidneys and body parts for illegal Islamic sales . What’s the difference in KLA terrorists and ISIS terrorists ? One was Muslims beheading Christians in Yugoslavia . The other is Muslims beheading Christians in Syria . Often they were the same people just fighting under a different name . Both of them have gotten their weapons from the United States .
There were two US casualties, actually. An AH-64 Apache crashed and exploded during a night mission, killing the two crew members. The Serbian forces claimed to have shot it down, the US claimed it was an accidental crash. We’ll probably never know.
I remember seeing photographs of the crash site. It was “claimed” that they had accidentally struck some power lines and made an emergency landing. Except for one problem… No power lines in any direction for as far as the eye could see
Clinton is a despicable warmonger.
What kind of medication is the Hildabeast on?
