Author

Weissman, Stephen R.

Subjects
Libya International Military Intervention, 2011, Intervention (International law), Dictators -- Military policy, Deception -- Political aspects, Government, History, Political science
Abstract

How did a U.S.--led, U.N.--approved military intervention to protect civilians in Libya end up enabling rebels to overthrow the Qaddafi regime? A variety of evidence shows that the Obama administration was dishonest in publicly describing its military purpose as solely humanitarian when it was largely directed towards regime change.

The essence of the deception is set forth below in contrasting statements by President Obama and former Central Intelligence Agency Director and Secretary of Defense Panetta. Keywords: president, Obama, Libya, Qaddafi, intervention, Benghazi, Clinton, 'Of course, there is no question that Libya--and the world--would be better off with Qaddafi out of power. I, along with many other world leaders, have embraced that goal, and [...]
