The rogues are falling out.

In an interview with a US magazine President Obama criticised British Prime Minister, David Cameron for making a mess of Libya. He called it a " shit show ". " We actually executed this plan as well as I could have expected. We got a UN mandate, built a coalition, it cost us $1bn - which, when it comes to military operations, is very cheap. We averted large scale civilian casualties, we prevented what almost surely would have been a prolonged and bloody civil conflict. And despite all that, Libya is a mess," he said. We know he is an accomplished liar, but this is blatant. No one is sure how many died in the attacks but estimates vary from 30,000 to 100,000. Libya has been in a constant state of civil war for the 5 years since Gaddafi's death. The UN mandate was for a no-fly zone for the protection of civilians in Libya and for the Arab League to ensure peace and security in the region. Bombing Gaddafi's forces and killing his grandchildren was never allowed in the UN resolution. That makes Obama, Cameron and Sarkozy war criminals and they should be serving life in prison. As it loses ground in Syria, ISIS is shifting its base to Libya, as Gaddafi had predicted would happen. Mohammed Elbibi, the man who took Gaddafi's golden gun is in hiding because he is afraid for his life. If Gaddafi was such a villain, as the West makes him out to be, why do people still support him? In his almost 8 years as president Obama has never taken responsibility for the disasters his administration has caused. Just like he has not taken responsibility for the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens in Banghazi in September 2012 he shifted the blame for the war in Syria on Cameron. Just as Obama won 2 elections because of a combination of over 90% black votes and political correctness among whites so Cameron won an absolute majority last year by scaring people about the Scottish National Party and blaming the Lib-Dems for increasing tuition fees for college students. With absolute majority Cameron cannot shift blame any more so when the Work and Pensions Secretary, Iain Duncan Smith resigned for cuts in disability benefits the proverbial shit hit the fan. Cameron could lose his job as prime minister if his party goes against him. The coming referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union has divided the Tories and he might face the same end as Margaret Thatcher did over Europe. Just like the Congress did in India the economic recovery has depended largely on rising property prices, as the rich have benefited from low interest rates. The poor have lost through higher taxes, to balance the budget, and having to pay high rents. The villains are falling out with each other. Sadly they will not get the punishment they deserve.
