From CNN:
President Barack Obama said the worst mistake of his presidency was a lack of planning for the aftermath of the 2011 toppling of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
"Probably failing to plan for the day after what I think was the right thing to do in intervening in Libya," he said in a Fox News interview aired Sunday.
This could become a primary/general election story because of the widely-held view that Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, tipped the balance towards regime change in Libya. She was also tasked with evaluating the suitability of the opposition to take over control. Some folks were on it right away.
It ties in to a critique of Hillary’s foreign policy judgement that Bernie has been advancing this week, related to Iraq:
Earlier this week, Mr. Sanders said Mrs. Clinton was unqualified for the position because she voted for the war in Iraq, has a “super PAC” that has raised millions from Wall Street, and supported trade agreements that sent American jobs overseas. On Sunday, he continued to criticize Mrs. Clinton’s ties to special interest groups and her stances on foreign policy.
“She may have the experience to be president of the United States. No one can argue that,” Mr. Sanders said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “But in terms of her judgment, something is clearly lacking.”
During an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper that was filmed Friday in Brooklyn, Mr. Sanders echoed those sentiments. “I have my doubts about what kind of president she would make,” Mr. Sanders said.
