Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) Urges U.S. Leaders To Learn from Mistakes in Libya
Published on Feb 1, 2016: Interviewed by Neil Cavuto on Fox News (1/29/16), Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard explains why it’s important that we learn from the mistakes made in Libya, so we don’t repeat them in Syria. She talks about "why it's important for those who are seeking to be our commander-in-chief to exercise foresight, to have a military mindset, where they are making decisions that will impact our country, our men and women in uniform, how we expand our resources.
They better be looking ahead to see what are the consequences to this decision. How will this country or that country react to the action that we take? What will our response to that be? And take down the line so that we don't end up being in a position today where we’re repeating the same mistakes of the past, just like we’re seeing in Libya: 2011, the President, Secretary Clinton, Sen. McCain, Sen. Graham, championed the overthrow of Gaddafi. The result today is a failed Libyan state with ISIS, Al- Qaeda and Islamic extremist groups poised to take over.”
Reminder- Debbie Wasserman-Shultz dis-invited Tulsi (a Vice Chair of the DNC) to the first Las Vegas debate last year. Here is what Tulsi had to say about that:
