Clinton’s alternate reality: America ‘didn’t lose a single person’ in Libya

Considering what happened to U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should probably apologize for her recent outrageous comment about the U.S. decision to destabilize the country in 2011.

Clinton, who was Secretary of State when the U.S. conducted military operations to oust Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi in 2011, told a town hall audience the operation was a success because it didn’t lead to the loss of American life.

She said: “Now, is Libya perfect? It isn’t. But they did have two elections that were free and fair where they voted for moderates? … So, you know, changing from a dictator who has hollowed out your country to something resembling a functioning state and even hopefully a more democratic one doesn’t happen overnight.”

“We’ve got to continue to support the Libyan people, to give them a chance, because otherwise you see what happened in Syria, with the consequences of millions of people flooding out of Syria, with more than 250,000 people killed, with terrorist groups like [the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria] taking up almost — huge blocks of territory, as big as some of the states in that area,” Clinton added.

Clinton called the decision for the U.S. to get involved in Libya a “different kind of calculation” than current efforts in Syria.

The former Secretary of State didn’t mention the names of the four Americans who died in Benghazi at a diplomatic compound her department failed to protect, instead opting to say of the efforts in Libya: “We didn’t lose a single person.”

Here are the names of the four Americans who died in Libya under Clinton’s watch:

U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens

Information Officer Sean Smith

CIA operative Glen Doherty

CIA operative Tyrone Woods
