Libya was failure of aggression. Where was there diplomacy happening? Hillary Clinton's quotation on the diplomacy was, "We came, we saw, he died."

Libya was a failure of President Obama to honor a deal made by President Bush.

Qaddafi gave the U.S. his centrifuges and other equipment, which in turn laid bare the A. Q. Khan network and Iran's program, and also helped the U.S. and Israel hack Iran's program to slow it down. And just what did Qaddafi get for his troubles? He got killed.

After that betrayal no one will make any deals like that with the U.S. again. To say that President Obama's Libya adventure was destructive is to put it mildly.
