| #5 Why can't this country's elites figure out a way to cut off the head without destroying the state, and all hope of political order, along with it? The only country they seem to know how to stage a coup in is the USA. |

| #4 Colonel Khadaffy (and all his alternative spellings) had become arrogant again after a period of cowering following turning over Libya’s nuclear bomb materials to President George W. Bush; he was openly threatening to release pent up jihadis on Europe if they didn’t indulge his every wish. Britain, France, and Italy, as I recall, requested President Obama aid them as they put Qaddafi in his place. Obama’s female squad of advisors, Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice, and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton persuaded him to join in the fun. |

| #3 Another f---up by our incompetent foreign-policy elite. Something is seriously wrong with the way these people form their conception of the world. Seems to be a reinforcing dynamic in which they start with spurious ideas that no one has really examined closely - the "Arab Soring" conceit, for ex. - and then dig the hole deeper by shutting out dissenting views. |
